CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Emergency Acquisition of Materials for
System in Primary Sedimentation Tank at
Control Facility
MEETING DATE: October 16, 1991
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
Replacement of Conveyor
White Slough Water Pollution
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the acquisition of the above
ma teria i s .
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 1991/92 budget includes $27,000 for the replacement of
the metallic chains and sprockets for one of the existing
primary sedimentation tanks. The replacement will be made
with nonmetallic chains and sprockets identical to those
installed in the new primary sedimentation tank recently constructed as part of the
White Slough expansion project. This replacement is not part of the expansion
project and it will be made using City forces. Similar replacements will be made in
the remaining two existing tanks in future budget years.
The existing primary sedimentation tank was recently taken out of service so that
the expansion project contractor could perform some other unrelated work in the
tank. The existing conveyor system is now frozen up. Rather than expend additional
dollars to unfreeze the mechanism, it is in the City's best interest to install the
new nonmetallic system at this time. The City needs to put the existing primary
sedimentation tank back into service as soon as possible in order that we can
continue to meet effluent requirements.
