CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Purchase of Solids Thickener Equipmentfor
White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility from Tenco-Hydro, Inc., of
Brookfield, Illinois ($193,000)
MEETING DATE: December 19,2012
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving purchase of solids thickener equipment
for White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility from Tenco-Hydro,
Inc., of Brookfield, Illinois, in the amount of $193,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The original solids thickener equipmentwas installed in 1967 when
White Slough Water Pollution Control Facilitywas built. It operated
until 1991 when the plant expanded and a new, largerthickener was
installed. At that time, it was determined that the original thickener did not provide sufficient capacity,
and it was abandoned.
Flows have increased since 1991, and the need for greater solids -thickening capacity has also increased.
The most economical solution for increasing solids -thickening capacity is to retrofitthe original unused
thickenerwith new and up-to-date equipment. Tenco-Hydro, Inc., is the sole -source equipment
manufacturerthat designed and built the original thickener, and its equipment requires no special
construction. Once the new equipment is installed by staff, the thickenerwill provide the additional
capacity and redundancy necessary to maintain continuous compliance with discharge permit
requirements.
Per Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070, Bidding, the bidding process may be dispensed when
City Council determines that the purchase or method of purchase is in the best interests of the City. Staff
recommends purchase of the solids thickener equipment from Tenco-Hydro, Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT: If the thickener is not rehabilitated, solids treatment could be inadequate,
resulting in discharge permit violation.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funds were budgeted for this project in the Plant Maintenance Capital
Improvements account (171493) for 2012/13.
