ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the Solids Handling Improvements,
District Project 7260, and the work is now ready for acceptance.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the Solids Handling Improvements,
District Project 7260, and authorize filing of the Notice of Completion.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not applicable. Filing the Notice of Completion
is advisable under the California Civil Code, Section 3093.
BACKGROUND: The Solids Handling Plan, which was updated in September 2005,
recommended that the District immediately improve the equipment for handling
biosolids to address emergency (i.e. equipment or structural failures resulting in lengthy
down time) or non - routine operation (i.e. short -term spike in solids production). The
existing sludge loading station was not designed for processing the entire sludge
production for any length of time and does not have any odor control capabilities.
Therefore, a properly designed sludge truck loading station was required.
This project designed and constructed a sludge truck loading facility with odor control
facilities and sludge cake hoppers to store sludge cake generated in overnight hours,
weekends, and on holidays when hauling to landfills is not possible. Due to the
unanticipated high level of odors, some modifications to the odor control system may be
done as part of a future project.
On May 21, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized the award of a contract for the
construction of the project to Manito Construction, Inc. The Notice to Proceed was
issued on June 29, 2009. The punch list items and final change order work was
completed in April 2011. A final performance test was successfully completed the week
of August 1, 2011.
