Executive Summary:

Background:

The Pollution Control Department operates two wastewater treatment facilities. The Little River Pollution Control Plant (LRPCP) provides wastewater treatment for the east side of the city (east of Pillette Road) as well as Tecumseh and the Lou Romano Water Reclamation Plant (LRWRP) treats the wastewater received from the sewers west of Pillette Rd. including south Windsor as well as LaSalle. Both plants are maintained by a complement of operating and engineering staff. Both plants receive numerous visitors as well as deliveries and contracted companies throughout the day and sometimes at night. Access and egress at the plants are controlled by gates which have card access and intercom communications.

Administration is proposing to replace the main entrance automatic securi ty gates at both LRWRP and LRPCP.

Dillon Consulting Ltd provided engineering design services to the department in accordance with the Corporation's Engineering Rostering process and will provide the contract administration services for this construction project.

Due to extended project duration and unexpected complexity of the work, Dillon Consulting Ltd. is requesting additional fees for this project.

Administration is seeking to hire Rorison Electric Limited to complete the work for this project.
