RE: Approve Resolution to Declare End to Emergency for Repair Parts and Repair of Biosolids
Dewatering Centrifuge
BACKGROUND
On May 9, 2016, City Manager Mark Rohloff, in accordance with Section 12-14 of the Municipal Code and
§62.15(lb) of the State of Wisconsin Statutes, signed an Emergency Declaration declaring an emergency for the
purpose of repairing the biosolids dewatering centrifuge at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The biosolids
dewatering centrifuge is a critical component to completing the treatment process and removing water from the
biosolids. The Wastewater Utility pays to have the Biosolids disposed of, and removing excess water is critical
to keeping costs as low as possible. It was imperative the centrifuge be repaired and returned to operation as
quickly as possible, as spring weather was turning wet.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the Declaration of Emergency, the repair of the biosolids dewatering centrifuge was completed.
The equipment is operational and there is no longer a need for the emergency declaration. Therefore, it is
necessary for the Council to declare an end to the emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to this resolution. The total cost of repairing the biosolids dewatering centrifuge was
$96,093.69 and was funded out of the Wastewater Utility Operating Budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended the Council pass the Resolution declaring an end to the Emergency declared on May 9, 2016
for the purpose of repairing the biosolids dewatering centrifuge.
