Council Session
Item -1
Election of City Council President
The City Council is required to elect one Councilmember to the office of Council President. The term is
for a one-year period. The Council President automatically assumes the duties of the Mayor in the event
that the Mayor is absent or otherwise unable to fulfill his/her duties. Nebraska law allows the election of
the Council President to be by secret ballot. The total number of votes for each candidate; however, must
be stated and recorded in the Minutes. Past practice has included a run-off election between the top two
nominees, if necessary. The City Clerk will prepare, distribute, and count ballots. Nominations to fill the
vacancy are in order. A second is not required on nominations.

From:Shannon Callahan, Street Superintendent
Meeting:December 12, 2017
Subject:Approval of the One & Six Year Street Improvement
Plan
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The One & Six Year Street Improvement Plan consists of the transportation projects in
the Capital Improvement Program and is mandatory by State Law as part of the
requirements to receive approximately five million dollars of state gas tax funds each
year. The Public Works Department develops this program through a process to prioritize
street projects taking into consideration many factors such as:
Availability of funds
Condition of the street
Traffic counts
Eligibility for State/Federal funds
Redevelopment patterns
Public/Council input
The City engages in a public process to ensure public input into the policy making
process. The proposed One & Six Year Street Improvement Plan is a result of the
following steps:
Wednesday, December 6, 2017 – Regional Planning Commission conducted a
Public Hearing and forwarded the recommendation to the City Council
Tuesday, December 12, 2016 – City Council considers a Resolution adopting the
plan
March 1, 2016 – One & Six Year Street Improvement Plan due at the Nebraska
Department of Transportation
Discussion
A Public Hearing was conducted with testimony received and discussion held on the One
& Six Year Street Improvement Plan at the Grand Island/Hall County Regional Planning
Commission meeting on December 6, 2017. The commission forwarded the One & Six
Year Street Improvement Plan to the City Council with a recommendation for approval.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 35 / 197
The projects listed in the One & Six Year Plan for calendar year 2018 are considered
definite projects. These projects were in the approved fiscal year 2018 budget. Many of
the projects listed in the One & Six Year Plan for 2019 through 2023 are included in the
City’s budget, but are subject to schedule changes depending upon coordination and
approval of State and Federal funding.

Page 4, City Council Regular Meeting, November 28, 2017
Fire Chief Cory Schmidt reported that during the last year, GIFD responded to 343 motor vehicle
collisions. Despite the high number of collision responses, the fire department doesn’t currently
charge a fee for a fire engine or heavy rescue response. Some vehicle insurance policies cover
fire department fees that occur as a result of a motor vehicle collision. The fire department hopes
to recover some of the costs associated with their response by charging a collision response fee
to all drivers involved in an incident. The proposed fees were included in the fee scheduled
presented to Council at the budget meeting on August 15, 2017. The fees were $500 per hour for
an engine company response and an additional $250 per hour for a heavy rescue response. It is
recommended to fee in ¼ hour increments. Staff recommended approval.
Discussion was held concerning the heavy rescue response fee.

From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:December 12, 2017
Subject:Water Main Project 2018-W-1 – 17th Street from
Broadwell Avenue to Elm Street
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The contract for Water Main Project 2018-W-1 involves the installation of approximately
1,200 linear feet of 10” diameter ductile-iron water main by trenchless construction; also
water service connections, pavement removal and restoration and drainage improvements
within 17th Street between Broadwell Avenue and Elm Street.
The project will resolve maintenance issues and provide proper clearance between the
water main and the existing storm sewer piping, improve domestic supply and
supplement fire protection in the City.
Discussion
Bidding documents were advertised in accordance with City Procurement Codes. A total
of thirteen construction companies and plan service firms were notified of the project.
Three bids were received and publicly opened at 2:00 p.m. on November 15, 2017.
Tabulated below is the Evaluated Bid amount from each of the bidders:

Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:December 12, 2017
Subject:Engineering Services – Utilities Department
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Utilities Department retains the services of a consulting engineer to perform required
reoccurring engineering tasks. The current engineering services contract expires on
December 31, 2017. A Request for Proposal to perform the following tasks were
developed by Department management staff.
1)Grand Island Utilities is required by Revenue Bond Ordinance No. 9456 to retain
a Consulting Engineer on a continuous basis. This Consultant provides a Biennial
Report to the bonding agency, in order to affirm the financial standing of the
Utilities Department’s electrical fund, as well as provides operational feedback to
the Department. This contract includes providing these services for the next six
(6) years.
2)The Utilities Department has a Power Purchase Agreement with the Western Area
Power Administration (WAPA). As part of this agreement, the Utilities
Department must provide WAPA with an Integrated Resource Plan every five (5)
years. This contract includes providing the required services for producing this
document.
3)Periodically, as good practice, the Utilities Department performs an Electric Cost
of Service Study to analyze its revenue stream as well as its internal processes to
verify future sustainability. Nationally recognized utility management
recommendations include performing a cost of service study every three to five
years, however, as the last study conducted by Grand Island was in 2007, this task
was therefore included as part of this contract.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 77 / 197
Discussion
The Request for Proposal was advertised on Monday, November 13, 2017, and five (5)
proposals were received on Tuesday, November 28, 2017, from the following
Consultants:
Burns & McDonnell – Kansas City, MO
NewGen Strategies & Solutions, Inc. – Denver, CO
JK Energy Consulting – Lincoln, NE
Stanley Consultants – Englewood, CO
NMPP Energy – Lincoln, NE
Using a matrix of the Utility Department’s established evaluation criteria, which included
Proposal Responsiveness, Company Experience, Personnel Experience, Commercial
Terms, and Engineering Fees, the proposals were reviewed by the department’s division
managers. A tabulation of the evaluation factors favored the proposal of JK Energy
Consulting. Total fees to be paid to JK Energy to perform these tasks over the six year
term of the contract are approximately $61,500, which are also the lowest fees of the
proposals submitted. The Department recommends that JK Energy is the best responsive
proposal for the Engineering Services.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council award the Contract for Engineering
Services to JK Energy Consulting of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the proposal from JK Energy Consulting for Engineering Services for
the Utilities Department.

RE: Request for Proposals for Engineering Services
Dear Mr. Schmitz:
JK Energy Consulting, LLC (JKEC) is pleased to submit the attached proposal to
prepare a Cost of Service Study, Biennial Report and Integrated Resource Plan for the
City of Grand Island Utilities Department. The proposal responds to the request for
proposals (RFP), dated November 8, 2017, and includes the scope of services, relevant
experience, fee proposal and schedule.
JKEC has provided the types of services identified in the RFP to numerous other utilities
in Nebraska and surrounding states since 2009. In addition, firm personnel have
provided cost of service rate studies and power supply planning services since 1992.
Recently, JKEC completed an electric cost of service study for the City of Fremont that
considered many of the same issues that Grand Island is facing in the Southwest Power
Pool Integrated Marketplace, including decreased utilization of local generating
resources and increases in regional and zonal transmission charges. JKEC has
prepared Integrated Resource Plans that have been accepted by Western Area Power
Administration, including most recently for the City of Falls City, Nebraska, the City of
Garden City, Kansas and Arkansas River Power Authority in Colorado.
Referring to the general specifications, JKEC certifies it is in compliance with each of
the requirements related to fair labor standard, contributions to the Unemployment
Compensation Fund and maintenance of a drug free workplace, along with registration
with the federal immigration verification system.
I look forward to discussing this proposal further with you after your review process.
Sincerely yours,
John A. Krajewski, P.E.

Attachment 2 to this proposal for a complete list of services performed by Mr. Krajewski.
Falls City Utilities (FCU)
Through his employment with MEAN and as a consultant, Mr. Krajewski has worked with
FCU for more than 16 years. Since 2010, JKEC has prepared three COS/RDS for Fall
City’s electric, gas, water and wastewater utilities. The rate studies considered reserve
levels, future capital expenditures and financing needs, and allocation of costs to the
various rate classes. Mr. Krajewski has also prepared and submitted FCU’s integrated
resource plan to Western Area Power Administration (Western) on four different
occasions, most recently in 2017.

Norris Public Power District (Norris)
Over the past eight years, JKEC has provided services to Norris, including the preparation
of three cost of service and rate design studies. Mr. Krajewski has also assisted in
reviewing line extension policies, including calculating required contributions in aid of
construction from new customers and developed a new “economic development rate”
based on a pass-through of wholesale power costs from Norris’s power supplier. Most
recently, JKEC developed a rate plan to consolidate the rates of Seward County Public
Power District with those of Norris after the completion of a merger of the two utilities.
This process involved developing a multi-year rate plan with the goal of serving all
customers under a single set of rate schedules while keeping annual rate changes for
any individual rates classes to an amount less than an agreed-upon threshold.

City of Fremont, Nebraska
Mr. Krajewski has worked with the City of Fremont for the past nine years, through his
employment with JEO and as a consultant. In 2015, Mr. Krajewski completed cost of
service studies for the City’s electric and gas utilities. Based on the results of the studies,
the City approved rate changes for both utilities and implemented a transportation cost
adjustment and variable commodity component for the gas utility. The key factors in the
most recent electric COS/RDS were the recovery of costs for a proposed transmission
line and increased costs related to the SPP Integrated Marketplace, including costs for
zonal and regional transmission charges. In 2017, Mr. Krajewski prepared a COS/RDS
for the City’s water and wastewater utilities.

COST OF SERVICE / RATE DESIGN STUDY
Scope of Services
Task 1: Data Collection / Kickoff Meeting. This task involves collecting retail usage,
operating expense, purchased power, and other data necessary to complete the cost of
service analysis. To the extent certain data is not available, alternatives to the requested
data will be identified.
A kickoff meeting at the GIUD’s office will be held to answer questions about the data
request, discuss goals and objectives of the rate study, identify key issues, and finalize
the project schedule (including applicable City Council meetings).
Task 2: Identify Capital Requirements. This task involves reviewing the GIUD’s capital
improvement program and identifying the cash flow requirements necessary to fund the
approved projects. Appropriate funding mechanisms will be evaluated, including funding
from revenue, use of reserves, issuance of debt, or a combination of the above
approaches. As noted in the RFP, there may be some sensitivities related to how capital
improvements are funded on a going-forward basis.
Task 3: Calculate Revenue Requirements and Financial Results. This task involves
reviewing the projected operating expenses, non-retail revenues, capital requirements
from Task 2, debt service expenses and other elements that make up the projected
revenue requirements. Revenue requirements will be calculated for a “Test Year” and for
a projected period of five additional years (2019-2023) as requested in the RFP.
Projected retail revenues will be compared to projected expenses to develop projected
financial results going forward. The projected financial results are used to identify
necessary rate increases for future periods. Debt service coverage will be calculated to
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 87 / 197
City of Grand Island Utilities Department – 8 –

determine compliance with bond covenants and cash reserves will be reviewed for
adequacy. Projected cash reserves will be calculated and compared to operating
expenses to assess if additional reserves are necessary.
Sensitivity analysis would be completed based on the following change cases:
1. Load change: increase and decrease of 5%
2. Capital improvement expenditures: increase or decrease of 20%
3. Change in funding method for capital improvements: 80% cash or 50% cash
Upon completion of the projected financial results and calculation of financial targets, a
conference call or face-to-face meeting with GIUD staff will be held. The purpose of the
meeting will be to determine if the projections are reasonable and identify any changes
necessary prior to completing the cost of service analysis. To the extent changes to the
financial results are necessary, those changes would be implemented prior to the cost of
service analysis.
Task 4: Prepare Cost of Service Analysis. This task involves calculating the cost of
service for each retail rate class, using generally accepted ratemaking principles for public
power utilities. Principles consistent with guidelines prepared by the American Public
Power Association, the National Association of Regulatory Utilities Commissioners, the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and others will be followed.
A normalized test year budget will be prepared based on 2018 projected data. The
purpose of normalization of the budget will be to ensure that one-time, unusual expenses
are not included in long-term revenue requirements. Similarly, if the accrual of funding
for long-term capital improvements is necessary but not included in the 2018 budget, it
may be appropriate to include that amount in the normalized test year budget. If key
financial ratios need to improve over time, there may be an amount included in the test
year budget to phase in the necessary improvement to key financial ratios.
The various expenses incurred by the Utility will be identified and assigned to a function
based on the type of service provided. For example, the cost of service will be allocated
to production, transmission, distribution, and customer service. An appropriate method
for allocating expenses for each function among the various rate classes will be identified.
For example, purchased power costs may be allocated based on the peak demand or
energy usage by each retail class, while customer service expenses may be allocated
based on the weighted number of retail customers. The result of this process is an
equitable allocation of system-wide costs within rates charged to customers.
JKEC does not propose to complete an end-user survey or collect time-of-use data for
retail customers, with the exception of large power customers that already have hourly
data recording meters. JKEC will rely on previously collected end-use load data used in
previous rate studies. Coincident demand factors and class load factors will form the
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 88 / 197
City of Grand Island Utilities Department – 9 –
Engineering Services Proposal
JKEnergy Consulting LLC
basis for the cost of service analysis for those customer classes that do not have hourly
data recording metering equipment. The allocated cost of service for each rate class will
be compared to the projected revenues for each rate class to determine the need for
future rate changes and provide guidance for the rate design process.
Task 5: Rate Design. This task involves designing retail rates for each rate class. Rate
design factors will include the cost of service results as well as other goals established by
GIUD. These goals may include long-term rate stability, competitiveness with neighboring
utilities, financial stability, mitigation of large rate increases on particular rate classes, and
funding of future capital projects. JKEC will work with GIUD staff to review these goals
and establish rates that best accomplish the identified goals.
Based on the RFP, special attention will be paid to the following issues:
1. Ensure fair and reasonable rates for each rate class (referred to as “burden by
rate class” in RFP).
2. Ensure rates will minimize risk to the Utility from fluctuations in energy usage
and set the monthly customer charge at an adequate level to cover the cost of
providing service.
3. Ensure current rate classes are reasonable and propose changes as
necessary.
4. Review street light fee structure.
5. Adjust power cost adjustment (PCA) base to ensure that base rates properly
reflect estimated costs of fuel and purchased power and are reflective of current
market conditions, including the SPP Integrated Marketplace.
Proposed rates will be compared to neighboring utilities to ensure the rates are
competitive and reasonable. JKEC will work with GIUD staff to identify appropriate
comparable utilities and complete rate comparisons for up to five neighboring utilities.
Rate comparisons will be based on the block sizes indicated in the RFP and will be
provided in a tabular and graphical format.
Task 6: Draft Report. This task involves preparing a draft report for review by GIUD
staff. The report will be suitable for review by non-utility personnel with tables that
summarize the key results of the cost of service analysis. An updated rate ordinance that
implements the proposed rates will be provided in electronic format. The report will be
sealed by John A. Krajewski, who is a registered professional engineer in the state of
Nebraska.
Task 7: Present Final Report. This task involves presenting the results to the City
Council. The summary report will be suitable for review by the City Council with tables
that summarize the key results of the cost of service analysis. An updated rate ordinance
will be provided that implements the proposed rates. JKEC staff will present the report
and be available to answer any questions.

BIENNIAL REPORTS
Scope of Services
Task 1: Collect Information. This task involves collecting relevant information needed
to prepare the biennial report, including, but not limited to:
Audited financial statements for previous three years.
Detailed report of revenues, operating expenses, debt service payments and
other information necessary to determine compliance with the rate covenant
included in the Revenue Bond Ordinance No. 9456.
Operational information, including retail sales, generation output and outage
data, capital improvement plans, and insurance certificates.
Task 2: Calculate Debt Service Coverage Ratio. This task involves calculating the
debt service coverage for the previous two years. Although maintenance of a minimum
debt service coverage ratio is not an explicit requirement of Section 16 of the Revenue
Bond Ordinance No. 9456, it is necessary to maintain debt service coverage of at least
1.30 in order to issue additional bonds.
Task 3: Determine Compliance with Bond Covenants. This task involves reviewing
the other sections of Section 16 of the Revenue Bond Ordinance No. 9456 to determine
compliance. The key requirements from a rate perspective that appear to require detailed
analysis by the consulting engineer include:
Deposit of at least 10% of average revenues (net of fuel and purchased power)
into Capital Improvement Account.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 91 / 197
City of Grand Island Utilities Department – 12 –
Engineering Services Proposal
JKEnergy Consulting LLC
Sufficient rates to collect revenue to cover the cost of principal and interest on
the bonds, plus operating and maintenance costs, and provision of all
necessary repairs, replacements and renewals.
There are several additional requirements that will be reviewed and discussed with GIUD
staff to ensure compliance. For example, insurance coverage requirements would be
confirmed by having GIUD provide insurance certificates.
Task 4: Draft Biennial Report. This task involves drafting the biennial report in a form
agreeable to the City and consistent with past reports. The report will be sealed by John
A. Krajewski, who is a registered professional engineer in the State of Nebraska. The
report will review the information provided by the City, calculations prepared by JKEC,
and a summary of findings as they relate to the bond ordinance and the covenants agreed
to by the Utility.

2022 INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN
Western implemented a program called the Energy Planning and Management Program
(EPAMP) in 1995. EPAMP includes a provision that requires its customers to prepare
and submit an IRP to Western to maintain their current allocations of power and energy
from Western.
As part of the City’s ongoing obligation under the EPAMP, the City must update and
submit an IRP every five years. The purpose of an IRP is to develop two and five-year
implementation plans to serve the City’s power supply requirements at the lowest
reasonable cost consistent with prudent financial and technical principles. The City
submitted its last IRP in May 2017 and the next IRP is due in 2022. In 2012, the City’s
approach to completing the IRP did not include preparing hourly energy dispatch
simulations, nor did it include developing a multi-resource capacity expansion plan since
there is sufficient capacity and energy available from existing resources. It is anticipated
that the approach to the 2022 IRP would be similar.
Scope of Service
Task 1: Data Collection. This task involves updating GIUD’s historical and projected
peak demand and energy requirements, and existing generating resources. A majority
of the data required for the IRP analysis will be collected from the 2018 cost of service
study.
Task 2: Prepare Load Forecast. This task involves reviewing and updating the load
forecast submitted in the 2017 IRP. The review and update will ensure that the load
forecast is reasonable and suitable for use in the IRP.
Task 3: Evaluate Supply Side Resources. This task involves reviewing the load
forecast and comparing the projected capacity needs (including required SPP Planning
Reserves). There may be additional supply side resources screened and compared to
the existing resource plan. Given that GIUD has a significant capacity surplus, as noted
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 93 / 197
City of Grand Island Utilities Department – 14 –
Engineering Services Proposal
JKEnergy Consulting LLC
in the 2012 and 2017 IRP, it is likely that there will be limited need to evaluate supply side
resource options.
Task 4: Evaluate Demand Side Management. This task involves evaluating demand
side management (DSM) options, including energy conservation, peak shaving, load-
shifting and strategic load building activities. These options will be evaluated for cost-
effectiveness compared to selected supply side resources. To the extent DSM measures
are less expensive to implement than new supply side resources or can result in savings
relative to existing supply side options, they will be included in the IRP.
Task 5: Development of Integrated Resource Plan. This task involves developing a
preferred plan of supply side resources and DSM measures. The plan will be selected
based on the net present value of Total Resource Cost (TRC). The TRC looks at the cost
of all supply-side resources and demand side measures to determine the preferred plan.
This approach helps the utility avoid selecting DSM measures that result in total costs
that exceed total benefits, even if one group of customers experiences benefits. In some
cases, DSM measures that are well-received by customers or provide other non-
quantifiable benefits may be selected even if the costs exceed the benefits.
Task 6: Development of Action Plans. This task involves developing two and five-year
action plans based on assumptions used, analyses completed, and conclusions reached
in the IRP. The action plans will include specific steps that need to be completed with
specific deadlines for implementation.
Task 7: Present Results. This task involves preparing a formal report for presentation
to the Grand Island City Council at a public hearing. The purpose of the hearing will be
to provide information and gather input from groups and individuals with an interest in the
City’s IRP. This public process is required by EPAMP.
Task 8: Submit IRP to Western. This task involves submitting the approved IRP to
Western using their online IRP data collection program. JKEC will work to have the City
submit the IRP to Western or, if preferred, JKEC will submit the IRP on behalf of the City.
Deliverables
1. Six (6) copies of draft IRP for review by GIUD staff.
2. Six (6) copies of the final IRP with all work papers.
3. One (1) electronic copy of final IRP and work papers in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)
format for submittal to Western.
Schedule
A draft IRP will be completed no later than March 15, 2022. A public hearing will be held
in April 2022. The final IRP will be submitted to GIUD no later than May 1, 2022 for
submittal to Western.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 94 / 197

Meetings
The proposed fee for the IRP includes three site meetings: The first meeting will be held
in January 2022 with GIUD staff to review the process. The second meeting will be held
in March 2022 to review the draft results. The final meeting will be held in April 2022 to
present the final report to the Grand Island City Council and the general public.
If additional visits are requested, billing will be based on JKEC’s standard billing rate
schedule (see Attachment 3 - Standard Billing Rate Schedule).
Utility Responsibility
GIUD will be responsible for the following:
Providing requested data on a timely basis, including timely response to any
questions or clarifications regarding the data.
Reviewing the draft IRP on a timely basis.
Scheduling appropriate meetings with GIUD staff and the City Council,
including notifying the general public of the hearing on the IRP.
Fee
The cost to provide the above-listed Scope of Services will be a fixed fee of $17,000 in
2018 dollars, which includes all billable time and out-of-pocket expenses. The City will
be invoiced based on the following schedule:
$2,000 will be invoiced after meeting with GIUD staff to review the IRP process
$10,000 will be invoiced after submitting the draft IRP to GIUD staff
$5,000 will be invoiced after presenting the final report to the Grand Island City
Council and the general public
Because of the significant period of time between now and 2022, JKEC proposes that the
fixed fee be indexed to the Consumer Price Index, as published by the United States

#2017-343 - Approving Purchase of Cooling Tower Chemicals for
Platte Generating Station
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 113 / 197
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting Date:December 12, 2017
Subject: Cooling Tower Chemicals
Presenter(s):Timothy G. Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Platte Generating Station utilizes a cooling tower, condenser and circulating piping
as part of the plant’s cooling water system. The system cooling water impurities are
concentrated through an evaporative cooling process. The plant has routinely treated the
water to prevent scaling, corrosion, fouling, and microbiological contamination. The
annual cost of these chemicals has increased above the City Purchasing Code
requirements. The plant environmental staff developed specifications for the purchase of
the chemicals used for treatment of the water.
Discussion
The specification for the Purchase of Cooling Tower Chemicals was advertised and
issued for bid in accordance with the City Purchasing Code. The specifications require a
firm price for the product to maintain the cooling tower water chemistry to minimize
corrosion and no scale buildup.
Bids were publicly opened on November 21, 2017. Specifications were sent to ten
potential bidders and responses were received as listed below. The engineer’s estimate
for this project was $130,000.00.
Bidder Unit Price Annual Price
Water Engineering
Mead, Nebraska $0.8000 $ 79,359.26
WaterLink Inc.
Omaha, Nebraska $0.7900 $ 55,542.39*
Consolidated Water Solutions
Omaha, Nebraska $0.8453 $ 83,366.00*
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 114 / 197
Department Staff have reviewed the bids for compliance with the City’s detailed
specification. A total of three companies submitted different chemicals to maintain
cooling tower water. *Based on an estimated annual usage, the cost for a year’s supply of
chemicals was used to evaluate an annual cost. The proposals were also evaluated based
upon the effectiveness of the chemicals to maintain the cooling tower water chemistry.
The Platte Generating Station Water Consultant recommended the best product to
maintain cooling tower water chemistry would have Hydroxyethylidene Diphosphonic
acid (HEDP), 2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4,-tricarboxylic Acid (PBTC) and polymers for
best results. The low bidder, WaterLink, would be supplying a chemical only containing
PBTC and will not effectively control corrosion in the system. For the past two years,
Platte Generating Station has used chemicals with the HEDP, PBTC, and polymers, and
effectively controlled corrosion and scale in the cooling water. The bid from WaterLink
was thereby considered non-compliant with the specifications.
Water Engineering provides a product with these chemicals, is compliant with
specifications and less than the engineer’s estimate.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the purchase of cooling tower chemicals be
awarded to Water Engineering of Mead, Nebraska, as the low responsive bidder, for a
not-to-exceed price of $0.8000 per pound of solution; an annual amount estimate at
$79,359.26. The actual annual amount will depend on City water usage.
Sample Motion
Move to approve award for the purchase of cooling tower chemicals in the amount of
$0.8000 per pound of solution be awarded to Water Engineering from Mead, Nebraska.

#2017-344 - Approving Century 21 Da-Ly Realty for Real Estate
Broker Services for the Sale of 4808 Gold Core Drive
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 118 / 197
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Assistant City Attorney
Meeting:December 12, 2017
Subject:Real Estate Broker Services for the Sale of 4808 Gold
Core Drive
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
In the 1980’s, the Utilities Department purchased property east of Highway 281 between
Schimmer Road and Wildwood Drive that would be later developed into the Platte Valley
Industrial Park. All of this property has been sold to developers with the exception of
approximately nine acres at 4808 Gold Core Road.
Request for Proposals for the purchase of this property have been issued several times
over the last few years without resulting in a sale. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for the
purchase requires bids due at a certain time. If there is not a suitable response, the process
is terminated by default. In order to provide a longer window of opportunity for a sale,
the Legal Department prepared an RFP for solicitation of a broker to market this
property. Doing so will allow the City to consider proposals without establishing a
response deadline.
Discussion
The Request for Proposals for Real Estate Broker Services of City Owned Property at
4808 Gold Core Drive in Grand Island, Nebraska was issued and advertised in
accordance with City procurement policies. One response was received from Tracy
Babcock of Century 21 Da-Ly Realty. Ms. Babcock and her firm have experience in the
marketing and sale of commercial/industrial properties in the Grand Island area and the
Utilities Department recommends the execution of the listing agreement with Century 21
Da-Ly Realty by the Mayor for the property at 4808 Gold Core Road.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:

Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 128 / 197
Council Agenda Memo
From:Shannon Callahan, Street Superintendent
Meeting:December 12, 2017
Subject:Approving Proposal Award for Underpass Walkway
Cleaning – Sycamore Street, East Eddy Street & West
Eddy Street for Streets Division
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Sycamore Street Underpass has one (1) pedestrian walkway located on the west side
of the roadway and the Eddy Street Underpass has two (2) pedestrian walkways located
on the east and west sides of the roadway. Over the last two years, the frequency at which
the three (3) underpass walkways are used for overnight refuge has increased.
Periodically the walkways will have significant amounts of pigeon droppings that may
become a health hazard if not properly treated.
Due to these facts, the Streets Division requested proposals for cleaning the walkways
including pricing for weekly sweeping, power washing (disinfection), and signage to
close the walkways during cleaning, as well as, pricing for as-needed graffiti removal.
Discussion
The Request for Proposals (RFP) for Underpass Walkway Cleaning – Sycamore Street,
East Eddy Street & West Eddy Street for the Streets Division of the Public Works
Department was advertised in the Grand Island Independent on October 9, 2017 and sent
to seven (7) potential proposers.
One (1) proposal was opened on October 26, 2017 and reviewed by a Public Works staff
committee. The following criteria were used for evaluation:
CRITERIA POINTS
Proposer’s Capability 25
Price 25
Experience and Reputation 25
Equipment 25
TOTAL POINTS 100
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 129 / 197
After reviewing the proposed pricing and comparing to Streets’ available budget the
following was negotiated with C&C Powerwashing & Detail Inc. of Grand Island, NE
Cost for Power washing (with Disinfection) - $295.00 per walkway
Cost for Signage for closing walkway - $25.00 per walkway
Frequency -Scheduled twice per fiscal year and as-needed between

Staff Contact: John Collins, P.E. - Public Works Director

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Assistant Public Works Director
Meeting:December 12, 2017
Subject:Approving Amendment No. 1 with HDR Engineering,
Inc. for Wastewater Treatment Plant Laboratory,
Operations Control Center, and Administrative Building
Renovation Consulting Services for Project No. 2017-
WWTP-2
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The Wastewater Administration building, which was constructed in 1978, is located at
3013 East Swift Road. The 3,500 square feet building is the primary station for
employees involved with management, accounting, laboratory and operations.
Over the 4 decades since the building was completed, the building, safety, and
environmental regulations have increased, and become more stringent. Additionally, the
plant operations have expanded with the growth of the City.
As part of assessing the Wastewater Division’s ability to comply with existing and
anticipated environmental regulations the lab was reviewed. Identified issues included:
A Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system shared with the
rest of the building, posing an immediate safety hazard.
Lack of a fire suppression system.
Outdated and/or marginally functional equipment.
Limited physical space that will not be able to accommodate future needs.
Electrical and mechanical limitations that must be expanded to handle future
needs and can be made more efficient.
When the investigation was expanded to the rest of the building it was determined that
the electrical and mechanical systems also limited the operators work stations and that the
physical space was insufficient for their needs. SCADA and other monitoring equipment
are in need of updating.
The Solids Handling Building (Building 6) was constructed to add a second floor.
Engineering and Wastewater employees investigated moving some combination of the
management, accounting, operations, and/or lab groups to this location, but the current
costs of ADA compliance combined with the construction costs would make the price
Grand Island Council Session - 12/12/2017 Page 156 / 197
high relative to at grade construction. Additionally there are advantages to having these
groups remain in proximity to each other, and located at the plant entrance.
The potential of building a new building to house the lab and operators was compared to
building an addition (which would require temporary housing for some staff) to the
existing building (which would still require some renovation). A new building would be
less disruptive during construction, but the continuous benefits of maintaining proximity
weighed in favor of adding to the existing building.
On June 13, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-167, City Council approved an agreement
between the City and HDR Engineering, Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska for consulting services
to renovate the Wastewater Treatment Plant Laboratory, Operations Control Center, and
Administrative Building, in the amount of $57,000.00.
Discussion
It is necessary to add design development, final design and bidding phase services to the
original agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. Such additional work will result in an
agreement increase of $220,289.00, resulting in a revised agreement amount of
$277,289.00.
Funds for the consulting services are in the approved 2017/2018 Wastewater Division
budget.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the
agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska, for a revised consulting
agreement amount of $277,289.00 for Wastewater Treatment Plant Laboratory,
Operations Control Center, and Administrative Building Renovation; Project No. 2017-
WWTP-2.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the agreement.
