COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Im AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Purchase Order with Synagro, of Burlingame, to Remove Approximately 500 Tons of Biosolids from White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Storage Lagoon and Appropriating Funds ($215,000) MEETING DATE: October 21,2009 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving a purchase order with Synagro, of Burlingame, to remove approximately 500 tons of biosolids from the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF) storage lagoon and appropriating funds as shown below. BACKGROUND NFORMATION: The biosolids storage lagoon is utilized for storage and concentration of solids from the three anaerobic digesters at WSWPCF. During the summer months this material island applied, but in the winter, the solids are stored in the storage lagoons. Due to more restrictive land application requirements, the solids are accumulating at a greater rate than in the past. As a result, it is necessaryto remove, dry and dispose of the excess solids at an offsite landfill until the new solids handling facilities are constructed and operational. Three contractors were contacted, but only Synagro submitted a proposal. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of $215,000 is not budgeted. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Request Appropriation: $215,000 - Wastewater Fund (170403). Jo an Ayers Deputy City Manager/Internal Services Director 14 At64 Jakv-�- F.
