Exhibit 1 - Agenda Information SheetCity of Denton _____________________________________________________________________________________ AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: Procurement ACM: Cassey Ogden DATE: February 6, 2024 SUBJECT Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with C&C Environmental Services, Inc., for the repair of Filter #4 Underdrain System, including the removal and replacement of the filter media at the Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant for the Water Production Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFP 8366 – awarded to C&C Environmental Services, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of $151,800.00). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (5 - 0). STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility. INFORMATION/BACKGROUND The Water Production Treatment Facilities utilize large filters to clean and produce high-quality water as a key part of the treatment process. Filters typically are constructed of a box-like structure, containing sand, granular activated carbon (GAC), and an underdrain. The media acts as a barrier against suspended particles in the water, and the underdrain serves to collect the filtered water for the next process. The Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plant (LLWTP) recently advertised a Request for Proposal for a vendor to repair the underdrain system of Filter #4 and replace the existing media with new media at the LLWTP. Filter #4 was placed out of service due to turbidity issues and media loss. After the filter was inspected by a representative of the underdrain system, it was determined at least one of the filter’s lateral gaskets had failed which caused the loss of the filter media. Considering the age of the filter media, quality control tests were performed recommending replacement with new media coinciding with the underdrain system repair. The LLWTP has 16 filters and during the higher demand of the summer months, all filters need to be available to operate so the repair of this filter during the lower demand of the winter months is the best time for this work. Without action, the treatment plant will have a significant reduction from 30 million gallons per day maximum filtration rate to 27.5 million gallons per day in treatment capacity. City Hall 215 E.
