TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Jason Bauer, Acting Director of Public Works
DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to execute an agreement with Hygieneering, Inc. in the amount of $123,285.00 to provide safety consulting services to the Department of Public Works.
PURPOSE:
To enter into a contract with Hygieneering to revise and update the health, safety and training programs for the Department of Public Works.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2018, the Water Production Division conducted an RFQ to perform a gap analysis to identify safety upgrades at the plant. Of the interested firms, Hygieneering was selected as the most qualified firm to provide those services, having since completed not only the gap analysis but assisting Water Production with the implementation of improvements. Due to the success of that initiative, it was determined that a similar gap analysis should be conducted for the remaining Public Works Divisions. That was completed in 2024, with a 2025 goal of implementing the improvements identified in the gap analysis, such as improvements to the written health and safety programs for OSHA compliance, site-specific practices, hazard communication program updates, development of a training matrix, forklift training and other ancillary tasks. The proposals are attached.
DISCUSSION:
This project was an approved decision package in 2022, with funds available in account 601-0000-410.32-60.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This initiative will not have any significant impact to the public or any other department besides Public Works.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
