Report
Summary
Biosolids are created as a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process. The current contract is necessary to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's solids disposal regulations, and is the most cost efficient way of removing biosolids from the wastewater treatment plants. The extension of this contract prevents a disruption in service for biosolids removal, and allows for time to complete the current solicitation process to award a new contract.
Contract Term
The contract extension will be for one year, effective June 1, 2017 through May 31, 2018.
Financial Impact
Funding is available in the Water Services Department's budget.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
This contract is a result of Invitation for Bids (IFB) 12-106, awarded by City Council on May 2, 2012, for an annual amount of $1,850,000, and an end date of May 31, 2017.
