Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need. The Division of Sewerage and Drainage needs to purchase two new hydraulic-atomizing biosolids incineration scrubber system units from EnviroCare International, Inc., for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Incinerator Hydraulic Scrubber Conversion project. The biosolids incineration process is an integral part of the wastewater treatment process at Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant (JPWWTP). The existing incinerator scrubber system was installed in 2001. The project will refit the existing scrubber system from an air-atomizing compressed air system to a completely hydraulic-atomizing system. This new system will provide enhanced scrubber performance, as well as a substantial energy and maintenance savings by removing the energy-consumptive and problematic air compressors from the system. The new higher efficiency particulate scrubber system will reduce emissions and assure continued compliance with the Title V air permit.

The scrubber equipment upgrade is being performed by the equipment's manufacturer, EnviroCare International, Inc., and they are the sole source of the equipment. This contract consists of furnishing the new hydraulic-atomizing scrubber system equipment, start-up services, equipment performance optimization, and training of the plant staff. The JPWWTP staff will install the new equipment.

This ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the provisions of Sole Source procurement of the Columbus City Code Section 329.07.

This project has been approved for funding and is included within the State of Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) 2009 Program Management Plan and is also listed on the WPCLF and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) -Intended Projects List-June 5, 2009, identified as project #CS392775-02. ARRA awards for Water and Sewer projects will be administered through the Ohio EPA's Water Pollution Control Loan Fund Program (WPCLF) and the...
