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).

WHITE SLOUGH WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
FACILITY STORAGE LAGOON AND FURTHER

without removal of some of the material the overflow would impair treatment plant
operation; and
WHEREAS,' three contractors were contacted to provide proposals to remove
approximately 500 tons of biosolids from the White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility storage lagoon; and
WHEREAS, the only proposal received was from Synagro, of Burlingame,
California, to perform the work at the cost of $215,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
approve a purchase order with Synagro, of Burlingame, California, to dry and remove
