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 with Synagro Central, LLC. In 2011, when this contract was executed, landfill hauling was from the two Wastewater Treatment Plants and the Compost Facility to Waste Management Landfill in Glenford, Ohio at a current contract line item pricing of $21.34/per wet ton. Since the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) is a likely option now, Synagro has agreed to reduce the cost for hauling services to the SWACO landfill. Synagro Central, LLC has submitted a letter with an updated rate for 2015 calendar year hauling services that went into effect on March 19, 2015. This letter quotes the rates for hauling services to the SWACO facility in the amounts of $8.00/per wet ton for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant and $10.00/per wet ton for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant. This modification to include the new pricing, will allow for hauling services to SWACO at a savings to the City of Columbus. This modification will be in effect from March 19, 2015 through the contract expiration date of July 31, 2015. All other terms and conditions of the contract will remain in effect through the duration of the contract. This modification is in accordance with the relevant provisions of Columbus City Code Chapter 329 relating to contract modifications.
