Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract modification with Synagro Central, LLC for the purpose of providing Land Application Services for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. This contract provides the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage the service of applying sewage sludge for agricultural purposes. The contract is utilized by the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant, Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Compost Facility.
The Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage and Drainage currently has a Liquid Biosolids Land Application Contract of 10 MG/year. The current contract was initiated on August 1, 2011 and is set to expire on July 31, 2014. The Division is also currently evaluating a response to an RFP for liquid biosolids land application of 15 MG/year and a 2 MG remote storage tank. If the contract is successfully negotiated and signed, it would replace the existing land application contract. Synagro currently holds the land application contract and Synagro was also the most responsive competitive bidder for the RFP for the Land Application and Remote Storage contract.
Due to the complexity of the contract currently being negotiated for land application and remote storage of biosolids, the Division is concerned that contract terms cannot be agreed upon before the July 31, 2014 expiration of the current contract. Hence, in trying to plan for the July, 2014 expiration, a one year extension is being requested and should provide adequate time to finish negotiations with Synagro on the new land application and remote storage contract. The new expiration date will be July 31, 2015.
