BACKGROUND ¡NFORMATION: Biosolids are anaerobically digested, and then directed to a concrete-lined sludge stabilization lagoon at the City's White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF). The biosolids from the digesters are dewatered to a solids content of about '12 percent and stockpiled in an enclosed facility. Biosolids are applied to approximately 700 acres of the City's agricultural fields. Of this farmed area, approximately 225 acres receive biosolids on an annual basis. The biosolids application area is rotated throughout the agricultural fields from year to year. The agricultural fields are used to grow fodder and feed crops that are not used directly for human consumption. Crops grown on the City's agricultural properties include fodder crops such as corn, alfalfa, ryegrass, and wheat. Recently, applied biosolids occasionally exceeded the vector attraction reduction rate because the volatile solids reduction requirement was not achieved in the anaerobic digestion process. This primarily resulted from operational challenges associated with the current biosolids dewatering system which translates into a downstream lack of digester capacity to adequately treat solids loading from the treatment plant processes. The proposed Solids Handling Equipment Procurement and lnstallation Project is intended to improve solids treatment processes. The proposed Professional Services Agreement includes construction documents for the procurement and installation of a new dewatering screw press and ancillary equipment; and sludge mixing system improvements in Digester No. 3 utilizing the progressive design build procurement method. The combination of these improvements will provide increased volatile solids reduction and insure compliance with the vector attraction reduction rate. Staff recommends authorizing City Manager to execute Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, lnc., of Walnut Creek, for progressive design build construction documents for White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Solids Handling Equipment Procurement and lnstallation Project, in the amount of $162,500, and Appropriating Funds in the amount of $'162,500.
