TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council

DATE: March 2, 2010
RE: Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester Cleaning
BACKGROUND
There are three anaerobic digesters at the Wastewater Treatment Plant that need to be cleaned of
accumulated grit and accumulated material. These are cleaned individually as necessary or on a
five -year rotation. This bid is to clean digester #1 that was last cleaned five years ago. This
maintenance helps maximize the performance of the biosolids treatment process.
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with the Wastewater Division, Purchasing reviewed and prepared
proposals seeking vendors for this digester cleaning. Bid requests were sent to the two vendors
that have bid on this project in past years. In addition the bids were advertised in the local paper.
Bids were received on March 1, 2010. The bid tabulation is attached.
FISCAL IMPACT
Synagro Central LLC's bid in the amount of $73,450 is based on the amount of material they
believe may need to be cleaned from the digester. We pay only for the actual material processed,
which the Wastewater Division expects will come in below the $65,000 they budgeted in their
Sewer Utility Account: 551-1941-6426-00000.
RECOMMENDATION
Working with the Wastewater Division, Purchasing reviewed the sole bid received and is
recommending the Common Council award the digester cleaning bid to Synagro Central LLC for
$73,450.
Respectfully Submitted,
