~' REST __FOR CITY COUNCIL AGEND~TEM <br />Agenda Date Requested: Maw 101993 <br />Requested By: --Steve Gillett 1~~~%~ Department: L~ublic Works <br />XXX Report <br />Resolution <br />Ordinance <br />Exhibits: 1. Memorandum from Public Works <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />As reported to Council at the last Council meeting, emergency repairs to <br />the Sludge Dewatering Belt Press at the Wastewater Treatment Plant were <br />necessary. An emergency was declared due to the limited amount of space <br />available i.n the drying beds. Failure to dewater a sufficient amount. of <br />sludge can result in lowering the ability of the plant to remove the <br />required amounts of pollutants from the treated effluent. This could cause <br />the plant to become out of compliance with the discharge parameters in our <br />permit and could result in violation notices and!or monetary fines. <br />The repairs were estimated to cost approximately $8,500.00 based on an <br />initia_1 inspection of the equipment by Textile Engineering Associates. Due <br />to the urgenr_y of needed repairs, Textile Engineering Associates were <br />informed to begin the work. Final repair casts to th~~ belt press was in <br />the amount of $8,386.00. <br />Staff recommends authorization of payment of the invoice for the emergency <br />repairs to the Sludge Dewatering Belt Press in the amount of $8,386.00 to <br />Textile Engineering Associates It is further recommended funds be <br />transferred from the Utility Fund Contingency Account as adequate funds for <br />this repair are not available in the 92-93 Operating Budget of the <br />Wastewater Treatment Division. Several large unforeseen expenditures have <br />depleted the funds available for equipment repairs. <br />Action Required by Council: Authorize payment of emergency repairs to Belt <br />Press in the amount of $8,386.00 to Textile Engineering Associates. <br />Authorize transfer of necessary funds from the Utility Fund Contingency <br />Account to fund the repairs. <br />Availability of Funds: <br />_ -General Fund _ __ Water/Wastewater <br />-Capital Improvement General Revenue Sharing <br />XXX Other - Utility Fund Contingency <br />Account Number: 003-810-810-904 Funds Available: XX YES NO <br />Robert T.
