AGENDA ITEM: Tank Cleaning at Wastewater Treatment Plants
SUBMITTED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, Utility Directo
DATE: August 28, 2007
BACKGROUND: Over time, sand and debris collects in wastewater treatment tanks. The sand
takes up valuable treatment area in the tank and can cause operational problems as well as wear and
tear on the equipment.
City staff estimated that removing the sand from the treatment tanks will take at least fifteen 10-hour
days.
We requested a daily price from the City's Annual Utility Contractor, Gruhn May, Inc. to perform the
work based on 10-hour days. The quote is based on the contractor's bid hourly rates for equipment
and work crews and is $3,240 per day, for a total project cost of $48,600.
As a cost comparison measure, we requested a quote from another Utility Contractor, Sawcross, Inc.
Their cost based on hourly rates for equipment and work crews was $5,100 per day, for a total project
cost of 76,500.
BUDGET: A total of $50,000 was budgeted for wastewater tank cleaning in the Sewer Fund under
account number 410-5508-535-46-00.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City's annual utility contractor, Gruhn May, Inc. to perform
Tank Cleaning at Wastewater Treatment Plants for a total of $48,600.
