(Kim Belt) Late Material

Staff Summary: One of the final processes at the Waste Water Reclamation Plant is the dewatering of digested sludge through the use of two Andritz D5LL centrifuges. Both centrifuges are approximately 13 years old and one of the centrifuges has reached a point of failure; requiring the internal mechanisms to be overhauled. The centrifuges were installed to eliminate odors that resulted from a previous practice of diverting digested sludge to the drying beds, and thus are a critical component to the overall operations of the plant. Staff is recommending a sole source contract with Andritz Separation Inc. in order for the centrifuge to be brought back to manufacturer's standards and specifications.

D) For Possible Action: To accept the Fire Departments recommendation on P.O.

This purchase was declared an emergency by Larry Werner, City Manager, on April 12, 2012. Stacey Giomi, Fire Chief researched and determined that the complete replacement of the ambulance, which was totaled in an accident in March 2012, was not cost effective and found a contractor to replace the damaged chassis of the ambulance.
