Executive Summary
Castle Rock Water (CRW) seeks Town Council approval of a Resolution (Attachment A) approving an agreement (Exhibit 1) with Trojan Technologies Corp (Trojan), for the Plum Creek Water Purification Facility (PCWPF) Aria Filtra (Aria) Membrane Filter #2 Module Replacement Project, in the amount of $369,986, plus a 10% contingency of $36,999, for a total authorization amount of $406,985, as well as a sole source justification, (Attachment B).
Trojan will provide the membranes and CRW staff will install the membranes. These modules will be ordered in December 2023, but due to supply chain issues, the modules will not be installed until after the 2024 demand season.
CRW has six water treatment plants within our overall service area. Aria membranes are included as part of the advanced treatment process at PCWPF and is the Town’s only plant that treats surface water for our community. The other five plants treat groundwater only. PCWPF was opened in 2013 and the Aria membranes have a life-span of 10 to 15 years. This agreement is the second of four phases to replace the membranes over the course of four years. CRW has budgeted $450,000 annually through 2027 for this purpose.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of a services agreement with Trojan, for the PCWPF Aria Membrane Filter #2 Module Replacement Project, for the amount of $369,986, plus a 10% contingency of $36,999, for a total authorization amount of $406,985.
