Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Water Reclamation Plant (Plant) utilizes a Sludge Dewatering Building (SDB), which houses machines and equipment that are used to thicken, condition, dewater, transport and store wastewater sludge, as required by the Plant's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permit. The Machine Rebuild Project involves the rebuild and/or replacement of Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) tank mechanisms used to thicken the sludge; Belt Filter Presses (BFP) used to dewater the digested sludge; belt conveyors used to transport the dewatered sludge; and hoppers used to store the dewatered sludge for disposal. The Division of Water Reclamation intends to seek proposals for machine rebuilds with proprietary and nonproprietary parts, and for professional, engineering and construction services necessary for the completion of the SDB Machine Rebuild Project. The goal of the project is to maintain the operational integrity and the reliability of the sludge processing equipment in the SDB. Funds are available in the Sewer Improvement Fund for this purpose and were approved to be appropriated with the passage of the 2023 Operating Budget (Ord. 81-23).
