Subject: Approval to Install a Backup Electrical Feed at the Wastewater Treatment Plant and
Approve Duke Energy as the Sole Source for Electrical Service. (Utilities Director Croteau)
Background Summary:
The approved Ocoee American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) project list includes funding to upgrade the electrical
room at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). There is currently only one electrical feed to the WWTP;
therefore, as part of this project, a second feed will be constructed to provide redundancy and storm resilience.
Duke Energy is the sole source for electrical service. For an approximate cost of $132,258.03, Duke Energy
will provide the trenching, bore labor, conduit, cable, and splice boxes, and will move the existing transformer
to a new location.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve to install a backup electrical feed at the WWTP
with Duke Energy at an approximate cost of $132,258.03 and approve Duke Energy as the Sole Source for
Electrical Service?
Recommendations:
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve to install a backup electrical
feed at the WWTP with Duke Energy at an approximate cost of $132,258.03 and approve Duke Energy as the
Sole Source for Electrical Service. Staff also recommends that the City Manager be authorized to approve
change orders to this contract up to the limit of his purchasing authority for each change order, and up to the
budgeted amount for this project for all change orders.
Attachments:
1. Duke Invoice
2. Electrical Back Feed to WWTF Map
Financial Impacts:
None as this project will be fully funded through the ARPA grant.
