Engineering/Special Projects
BACKGROUND: Dewatered sludge cake from the treatment processes is conveyed
to trucks via a cake pump and pipeline. Because there is only one cake pump
serving two centrifuges and no backup, failure of one centrifuge or the cake
pump is an emergency situation.
CCCSD purchased an additional cake pump; however, a formal design is required
for installation by competitive bid. Proposals were sol icited from three
consulting engineering firms:
Dodson & Young
John Corollo Engineers
Rickard Associates
Each of the firms is capable of accomplishing the work. Rickard and Associates
was selected on the basis of their proposal.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the GM/CE to enter into a contract with Rickard
Associates (HRT Engineering) for preparation of contract documents covering
the installation of a backup cake pump at a cost ceiling of $5,500 from sewer
construction fund.
