SWERDFEGER CONSTRUCTION, INC. AND SETTING FORTH $88,312 FOR CONTINGENCIES, FOR PROJECT NO. 15-028 (WWAN04) FY2015 SLUDGE BED EXPANSION PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING AGENT TO EXECUTE THE SAME SUMMARY: Attached is a Resolution awarding a construction contract to K.R. Swerdfeger Construction, Inc. for FY2015 Sludge Bed Expansion Project. The project will increase the size of the northeast sludge drying bed from 1.5 acres to 3 acres and relocate a portion of the flood protection berm. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION : None BACKGROUND : The Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) process that came online in 2013 at the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility produces more sludge than the previous wastewater treatment process. Currently, the sludge in the drying bed has to be hauled off to the landfill more frequently to make room for newer wetter sludge due to space constraints. It is most effective in manpower and cost to allow the sludge to dry thoroughly before haul off. Dryer sludge results in the fewer trips to the landfill and less cost in fees and fuel. This project will expand the drying beds from 1.5 acres to 3.0 acres. Approximately 900 lineal feet of the flood protection berm and the dirt road around the existing sludge drying bed will need to be relocated due to the expansion. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS : The cost of the construction project was bid at $441,560 with contingencies of $88,312. Funds are available from the Sewer User Funds and have been budgeted and appropriated to Project No. 15-028 (WWAN04).
