Home My WebLink AboutPR 20490: PURCHASE OF A COMMINUTOR (SLUDGE GRINDER) FOR THE MAIN WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT City of ort rinn !' Texas INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM UTILITY OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT-ADMINISTRATION Date: September 25, 2018 To: Harvey Robinson, Interim City Manager From: Hani Tohme, P.E., Director of Water Utilities RE: Proposed Resolution No. 20490—Purchase of a Comminutor(Sludge Grinder) for the Main Wastewater Treatment Plant Nature of the Request: The Comminutor (sludge grinder) for the sludge dewatering system at the Main Wastewater Treatment Plant is out of commission due to mechanical failures; the top part of the structure blew apart, making it unusable. On September 21st, management was alerted to this condition and began researching solutions and timelines for these solution to be in place. Vision Equipment was contacted for pricing and availability on a replacement unit; the best that the manufacturer could promise was a 3-6 week lead time on delivery and installation. Management obtained emergency purchase approval from the City Manager so the manufacturer could begin construction and insure prompt delivery of the comminuter. The emergency authorization was vital to have the unit up and running as soon as possible so that public health and safety impact danger would be minimized. This unit is a vital part of the sludge removal, conditioning and dewatering process at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and is a single point failure. Without an operating Comminutor, we cannot operate our centrifuges because of stoppages that will occur in the sludge feed lines. Treatment Plant staff is currently paying a sludge hauling contractor to bring the raw sludge to our other dewatering unit in Port Acres for disposal. This method is inefficient and expensive. The Comminutor had to be replaced via emergency repair in order to keep the Wastewater Plant in compliance with TCEQ rules and regulations. An inoperative Wastewater Treatment Plant, for a period of time, could be a danger to public health and safety. The current unit is prone to constant failures and frequent costly repairs. Therefore, it is recommended that replacement of our current unit takes place. The estimated cost of a replacement unit is $30,500.00 from Vision Equipment. StaffAnalysis, Considerations: City Staff will be utilized to replace the unit. Budget Considerations: This project will be charged to Water Utilities 0 & M Account No. 410-1256-532.42-00, Wastewater Treatment/Equipment Maintenance. Recommendation: I recommend that the City Council approve Proposed Resolution No. 20490 to ratify the purchase of a comminutor (sludge grinder) from Vision Equipment, of Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, in the amount of$30,500.00.
