Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to modify the contract with Burch Hydro Inc for Land Application of Biosolids Services.

This contract provides for the disposal of sewage sludge on agricultural land and ash disposal from the ash lagoon at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant. The contract is utilized by the Compost Facility, Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant. This contract was entered into for one (1) year with the option for four (4) renewals on a year to year basis upon mutual agreement, availability of funding and Columbus City Council approval. Additional funding in 2007 is needed for ash hauling at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant to clear out the ash lagoon for maintenance and rehabilitation work. The first year of the contract will expire September 30, 2008.

The Director of Public Utilities opened formal bids on March 28, 2007: Three (3) bids were received a tabulation of those bids is attached to this ordinance.

After review of the bids Burch Hydro Inc was the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder on items number 1, 3, 4, 5A, 5B and 6.

SUPPLIER: Burch Hydro Inc (31-0978934) Expires 8-4-08

FISCAL IMPACT: $600,000.00 is budgeted and need for this service

A total of $1,400,000.00 was spent 2005 and 2006.

Emergency legislation is being requested so the ash lagoon at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant can be emptied for maintenance and rehabilitation prior to the onset of cold weather.
