Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase a contract with the Righter Company Inc. for Sludge Storage Tank Cover Replacement at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Formal bids were opened by the Director of Public Utilities on November 12, 2003 for Sludge Storage Tank Replacement at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Righter Company Inc. was awarded a contract for the project, EL-004175 in accordance with Ordinance Number 0120-2004, Passed March 1, 2004.

The digester cleaning portion of this contract was being conducted by Burch Hydro Incorporated through the Division of Sewerage and Drainage's Land Application contract. The sludge in tank SS4 is laced with steel pieces and chips which resulted from the work to remove the tank covers. The deteriorated condition of the covers and support structures resulted in collapse of some of the steel and concrete. Some of these pieces feel into the sludge in the tank and could not be retrieved. After several pumps were damaged by the steel, Burch Hydro removed their pumping equipment causing a stoppage in the project. The Righter Company has received a quote from another contractor to complete the pumping of sludge. Burch Hydro has agreed to allow for this one time occurrence.

SUPPLIER: The Righter Company Inc. (31-0889208)

FISCAL IMPACT: $48,560.00 is needed for this modification and is budgeted.

Emergency legislation is being requested so that the tank can be cleaned out and the project can continue.
