PROJECT UPDATES
1) Project Bidding for Emergency Sludge Loading Facility Improvements,
District Project 7348A
The Emergency Sludge Loading Facility (ESLF) Improvements Project will increase the
operational reliability and flexibility for emergency solids handling in the event the
furnaces are unavailable. Mechanical work and significant odor control improvements and
ventilation are included in the scope of the project.
This project is the first construction effort as part of the Solids Handling Facilities
Improvements (Solids Project). It is being constructed ahead of the larger Solids Project
to ensure that Central San's emergency sludge facility is fully functional and available for
use during the major overhaul and long shutdowns required to complete the furnace
retrofits and replacement of major equipment, which is scheduled to begin construction
June of 2020.
The ESLF Improvements Project will be advertised on April 26 and May 1, 2019. Bids will be
opened on May 30, 2019. The Engineer's estimate is $2,300,000. More information will be
presented when the Board is asked to award the construction contract on June 20, 2019.
