Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the modification of the contract for Land Application and Disposal of Sewage Sludge for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage with Burch Hydro Incorporated.

This contract provides for the disposal of sewage sludge on agricultural land for use by the Compost Facility, the Jackson Pike and Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plants. The division desires to increase the contract amount by an additional $450,000.00 for additional removal of sewage sludge for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant. The contract expires August 24, 2004.

The Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant operates two (2) incinerators that are used to burn sewage sludge produced during the treatment process. However, both incinerators have been down. Only one of those have been temporarily returned to service, the other incinerator is still out of service. Because of this the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant has excess sludge which cannot be handled by the Compost Facility or the plant. Therefore it is necessary for the sewage sludge to be removed through the land application contract with Burch Hydro Incorporated.

SUPPLIER: Burch Hydro Incorporated (31-0978934)

Fiscal Impact: $450,000.00 is needed and budgeted for this modification.

$900,000.00 was spent in 2003
$895,000.00 was spent in 2002

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency measure so that the excess sewage sludge that has accumulated at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Facility because both plant incinerators are out of service can be removed and used for land application.
