Form #: B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Environmental Management DATE: 2/17122 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Eric Takamura PHONE: 961-8333 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> Request to amend FY21-22 Capital Improvement Budget, Ordinance 21-39, to increase the appropriation for <br /> the following project: <br /> Hilo WWTP Upgrades - Phase 1 $5,000,000 $18,000,000 from County <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> After completing a condition assessment and evaluating alternatives that would be required to restore the <br /> wastewater treatment plant's (WWTP) original operational functions, DEM is working to layout design <br /> documents on the improvements that is required. Hilo WWTP was built in the early 1990s and after 30 years <br /> of operation substantial repairs and renovations are required. Also, technological improvements have been <br /> advancing since 1990 and more operator friendly and robust equipment are available today that wasn't <br /> available before. <br /> An initial contract was executed that was based on phasing the project. After initiating the Phase 1 design <br /> effort, it was discovered that the more prudent way is to look at the entire improvements and to design for an <br /> all-encompassing renovation and upgrade to the WWTP. The construction of these improvements can then <br /> be broken up into separate CIP projects based on the level of priority. The initial design contract, identified <br /> as Phase 1, was for$5 million. The design to capture all the renovation into one design contract would allow <br /> the design firm to recommend the best and most economical way of upgrading the WVJTP. <br /> A Project Data/Financial Impact Statement is attached. <br /> SIGNED: (t3JA . �2.
