REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS FOR SOLIDS HANDLING SYSTEM UPGRADES AT
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Interim City Administrator Black stated Council at its January 18, 2010 regularly
scheduled meeting approved an engineering services agreement with SEC Group for solid
handling upgrades at the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP) and South
Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWWTP). The agreement included the engineering design,
bidding assistance and construction observation.
Interim City Administrator Black stated SEC Group has finalized the plans, specifications
and bid documents for the consolidation of solids handling at the SWWTP. The engineer's
estimated probable cost for this project is $2,860,000. At this time Staff is seeking authorization
to publicly bid the solids handling system upgrades at the CWWTP and SWWTP.

Alderman Santi requested confirmation regarding the percentage of solids that would
be eliminated from the CWWTP. Director of Public Works Schmitt responded 1005(o of solids will
be transferred to the SWWTP.
Alderman Glab inquired how prices for the components have been going. Director
Schmitt stated the overall project is a little behind because of acquiring the McHenry Country
Club easements and the recent labor strike. He noted the overall project is approximately three
weeks behind schedule. Director Schmitt stated it is a good time to be bidding for this portion
of the project as the last two components have come in under budget.
Alderman Schaefer asked if the completion of the upgrade would eliminate the odor
issues in the neighborhood. Both City Engineer Pieper and Director Schmitt concurred the odor
will be greatly reduced when this upgrade of solids handling is completed.
Alderman Peterson inquired when the CWWTP has been abandoned what would remain
on the site. City Engineer Pieper replied once the CWWTP has been abandoned, a decision will
be made regarding possible demolition of the plant and what level of demolition would take
place. He noted the lift station would remain on the site.
Motion by Santi, seconded by Schaefer, to authorize Staff to publicly bid the solids
handling system upgrades at the CWWTP and SWWTP as presented.
