Report
Summary
The GEA Westfalia Scroll is a critical centrifuge part, housed within the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant centrifuges. These centrifuges separate up to 90 percent of the liquids from biological sludge in the treatment process. To maintain operations, as existing centrifuges are being repaired, this additional scroll will be used to replace the existing scrolls, while they are being repaired.
Procurement Information
The selection was made using a direct selection process set forth in the City of Phoenix Administrative Regulation 3.10. A direct selection was made because GEA Mechanical Equipment US Inc. is the sole source provider due to the unique nature of the equipment. A contract amendment will be done to add the scroll to the existing contract.
Contract Term
The existing contract term is effective through June 30, 2025.
Financial Impact
The initial agreement was authorized for a fee not-to-exceed $10.5 million. This amendment will increase the agreement by an additional $475,000, for a new total not-to-exceed agreement value of $10,975,000.
Funding for this amendment is available in the Water Services Department's Capital Improvement Program budget.
