Title
Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $45,000 from the Water Replacement Fund for the Sludge Dewatering Facility (SDF) Mixer Replacement; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for SDF Mixer Replacement; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The SDF at the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant is responsible for removing water from sludge generated during the treatment process, converting it into a semi-solid or solid state. This step is crucial for reducing the sludge's weight and volume, ultimately lowering transportation and disposal costs. A critical component of this process is the mixer located in the SDF prefill tank. The mixer keeps solids suspended in the tank, preventing them from settling at the bottom. Without continuous mixing, solids accumulation can disrupt downstream processes, reducing the efficiency of sludge handling. This project involves procuring a replacement mixer for the SDF prefill tank. The existing mixer plays a vital role in maintaining an optimal solids-to-water ratio, ensuring a higher solids concentration is fed into the sludge presses. This results in the production of a drier and more efficient sludge cake, enhancing overall system performance.
