Resolution approving a purchase from TSC-Jacobs North on behalf of Gardner Denver NASH, LLC, P.O. Box 952453, St. Louis, MO 63195 in the amount of $356,321. The Bethune Point Wastewater Treatment Plant utilizes a 5-stage Bardenpho treatment system to remove nitrogen and phosphate. Stages 3 and 5 injects air into the treatment process by rotating two of the three blowers to assist in the removal of the two primary nutrients as stated above. All of the blowers were purchased in 1986, have exceeded their life expectancy and could fail at any time. If two blowers were to fail, the wastewater cannot be treated to permit standards and must be discharged to the Halifax River. This violation of the plant’s operating permit could subject the City to a fine of up to $10,000 a day. Funds available in the 5% Renewal & Replacement fund.
Recommendation: Business Enterprise Management Director recommends adoption of the Resolution.
