Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure in an amount not to exceed $300,000 from the Sanitary Sewer Replacement Fund for the Solids Handling Tank Cleaning Project at the Bay View Water Reclamation Plant; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for professional, engineering, and construction services necessary for the completion of the Solids Handling Tank Cleaning Project; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Water Reclamation utilizes numerous covered and uncovered tanks for processing and storage at the Bay View Water Reclamation Plant. The Division is working to increase the availability and redundancy of process tanks to satisfy both the Ohio and US EPA.
The Division has identified two digester tanks in the Solids Handling facility that require extensive cleaning and equipment rebuild. The Division advertised for bids earlier this year and received proposals that exceeded the funds that were allocated by Ordinance No. 307-23.
Ordinance No. 307-23 allocated $250,000 for Digester #2 Cleaning and $250,000 for Digester #7 Cleaning. This ordinance is seeking an additional $150,000 for Digester #2 Cleaning and an additional $150,000 for Digester #7 Cleaning, for a total of $300,000. The Division needs the additional funds to fund the Solids Handling Tank Cleaning Project at the Plant.
