Title
Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of an amount not to exceed $60,000 from the Water Replacement Fund for the Flocculator Replacement Project at the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for said project; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Within our water treatment process, we operate eight flocculation basins, each equipped with three flocculation drives. The flocculation process is essential to water treatment, as it facilitates the formation of floc after the addition of coagulants. The slow and controlled motion of the paddles keeps solids in suspension, maximizing contact time and allowing for optimal floc formation before the water moves to the sedimentation basin for settling. Per Ohio EPA regulations, these basins must remain operational, and any extended downtime requires immediate notification to regulatory authorities.
Flocculation drives are a critical component of each basin and the failure or prolonged unavailability of one could compromise water treatment efficiency, regulatory compliance, and overall plant operations. Given the critical role of these drives, in maintaining treatment performance, immediate replacement is necessary to prevent disruptions and ensure continued compliance with EPA requirements.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the appropriation of an amount not to exceed $60,000 is authorized from the Water Replacement Fund to Account Code 6063-32000-4UC1025STDSTD and the expenditure of the same is authorized for the Flocculator Replacement Project.
