Camp Dresser McKee 777 Taylor Street, Suite 1050 Fort Worth, TX 76102 Re: High Ra#e Clarified#ion System Chemical Equipment Upgrades Ms• Robinson: during the recent wet weather event testing conducted March 13r14, 20Q9, the ACTIFLO High Rate Clarification (HRC) system met both the required removals for Particulate BOD5 and the required effluent Total BODE limit. The chemical feed rates during this compliance test period were: Coagulant (Ferric Sulfate: 205 mgll_ Polymer: 1.5 mg/L Per the specifications, at a total flow to the HRC of 110 MOD, the f+,llowing chemical feed rates would be required: Coagulant (Ferric Sulfate at 60%active, 1.5 specific gravity); Dose of 205 IIlu requires 1,01Q gaElvns/hr. Polymer (4 gIL makeup solution): ©ase of 1.5 mgll. requires 1,719 gallons/hr. of polymer solution. Kruger would suggest the following additional equipment to allow the HRC system to feed chemicals at the above closes: Coagulant feed: Kruger has consulted with the feed pump manufacturer, and the manufacturer has confirmed that the existing coagukant feed pumps can provide the necessary flow rate following adjustment to the pump VFDs. This can be accomplished with no risk to the existing pump motors, Polymer feed pumps: Kruger would suggest that the existing gear type polymer feed pumps be replaced with two (2) new progressive cavity type feed pumps. The feed pumps shall be sized to provide a maximum flow of 1,000 gallons per hour each. The pumps shall be mounted on the existing slab and will utilize the same local control panel and starters.

Kruger, Inc., to Settle a Performance Guarantee Dispute Related to the High Rate Clarification Project at Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Under Which 1. Kruger, Inc., will Provide Equipment, Services and Payment in the Amount of $25,000.00 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council. 1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with I. Kruger, Inc., to settle a dispute regarding guaranteed performance of equipment installed in the High Rate Clarification Project at Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant under which I. Kruger, Inc., will provide equipment, services and a payment in the amount of $25,000.006 and 2. Accept $25,000.OQ from I. Kruger, Inc., to offset the cost of installation of new equipment. DlSCU5S10N: On August 3, 1999, {M&C C-17566) the City Council authorized an Engineering Agreement with Camp Dresser &McKee, Inc., for the design of High Rate Clarification System at Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to treat peak wet weather influent flows. On December 17, 20029 (M&C C-19400) the City Council authorized a construction contract with Archer Western for the construction of the High Rate Clarification System. The construction contract included the purchase and installation of water treatment equipment from I. Kruger, )no., (Kruger) and a performance guarantee of the system to be achieved within three years after installation. The High Rate Clarification System Project construction was complete October 13, 2005. The contract performance guarantee defined effluent water quality for a successful project. Just shortly after construction was complete, a moderate drought began and extended into the third year of the contracted performance testing period, therefore no wet weather events occurred and no testing was possible. The contract included provisions for simulated storm events should a natural event not occur during the contracted three year performance testing period and several simulated storm testing events were conducted. The results of the performance testing indicated that additional dosing of chemicals will be necessary to achieve the guaranteed effluent water quality. The instalied equipment is of insufficient capacity to meet the additional dosages levels. Kruger has offered to provide the equipment necessary to meet the chemical dosages required to meet the efiTuent water quality, in -kind services for programming and optimizing the upgraded system and a payment in the amount of $25,000.00 toward the cost of )nstailing the equipment. The City's Construction Manager, CDM, recommends acceptance of this offer. Staff concurs with this recommendation. http://apps.cfwnet.org/ecouncil/printmc.asp?id=12295&print=true&DocType=Print 12/16/2009 Page 2 of 2 FISCAL INFORMATION I CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that the Water Department is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City.
