CAO RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve plans and specifications for "Water Reclamation Facility Digester #2 Repair,
Specification No. 97-49B."
2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids and authorize the CAO to award the contract if the lowest
responsible bid is within the budget for the Digester#2 Clean and Repair.
DISCUSSION:
Cleaning and repair of the digesters at the Water Reclamation Facility is a routine project
completed approximately every 5 years. The harsh environment at the facility necessitates routine
maintenance programs to prevent the need for major facility replacements. A project is currently
underway to empty and clean the digester. When the cleaning is completed, staff will then make a
final assessment of the condition of the coating and equipment. If the coating inside the digester is
in good condition,this repair project will be reduced accordingly. Any needed repairs on the inside
will be completed via change orders.
This project is an emergency project due to some equipment failures in the digester. Staff
processed the cleaning project prior to the final adoption of the 1997-98 budget. Adequate funds
were available at the time to cover the expense of the cleaning project.
CONCURRENCES:
Community Development Department has given this project a categorical exemption.
