2.1 Sludge Production Evaluation and Technical Memorandum
■ Develop sludge mass calculations to determine waste activated sludge (WAS) and
high -rate clarification (HRC) sludge production for current (2010) and future (2020)
influent flow and treatment processes. Sludge mass calculations will be developed
for following three plant flow conditions for each planning horizon (2010 and 2020)
1) wet weather/peak influent flow events;
2) maximum week flow conditions; and
3) maximum month flow conditions.
Prepare and submit a sludge production technical memorandum summarizing the
sludge production rates. Future sludge production mass calculations will be based
on:
Influent flow and influent waste load projections contained in the current
HRC sludge production under wet weather/peak influent flow events will
assume the historical maximum (worst case) sludge production based on
current (not design) chemical usage. Available operating data will be used to
estimate future HRC sludge production rates and the frequency at which
these production rates occur.
2.2 Chemical Usage Evaluation and Technical Memorandum
■ Review current chemical usage at the gravity belt thickener (GBT) building and
determine if current chemical facilities are adequate for processing the three sludge
types (HRC sludge and WAS). Compare available operating data with typical
polymer usage rates for each of these types of sludge as well as 50/50 HRC/WAS
mass proportional blends. In consultation with the city's polymer vendor, conduct jar
tests, specific resistance tests (Buchner funnel tests), and/or capillary suction time
(CST) tests on waste sludge from the primary and secondary clarifiers, and the HRC
(if available). Based on optimum dosages obtained from the polymer tests, determine
feed rates, polymer storage, conditioning preparation and feed equipment
requirements. Compare current polymer feed system equipment and storage
capabilities with future requirements for processing each type of sludge utilizing
GBTs. Provide a chemical usage technical memorandum summarizing findings,
including optimal polymer dosages for each of the sludge types, current polymer
storage and feed equipment capacity, required production rates for each planning
horizon, and recommendations for equipment installations. Any gaps between
current or future capacities and production will be clearly identified
■ Determine storage capacity of existing dissolved flotation thickeners (DAFTs).

2.3 GBT Thickening Alternatives Technical Memorandum
Utilizing the sludge production mass calculations, define the total maximum
thickening and storage capacity and number of GBTs for the year 2020 WAS and
HRC sludges. Prepare a GBT thickening alternatives technical memorandum.
Operating costs and/or energy usage estimates are not included in this scope of
work. The memorandum will:
summarize recommended sludge storage volumes and recommended
thickening equipment capacities for the year 2020,
identify number of DAFTs that must remain in service based on projected
sludge production for current (2010) and 2020 sludge production values.
evaluate and provide recommendations for interim improvements to
accommodate current HRC and WAS thickening, Evaluation of interim
improvements will include three alternatives:
1) Store HRC in one DAFT. Route WAS to GBT sludge feed tank.
GBT feed pumping and piping system capable of accommodating a
full range of feedstock blends between WAS and HRC sludges. 2-3
DAFTs would remain in use for additional WAS thickening;
2) Store HRC sludge in new tank. Route WAS to GBT sludge feed
tank and utilize GBTs exclusively for WAS thickening 2-3 DAFTs
would remain in service for additional WAS thickening. HRC would be
routed to head of plant for co -settling and thickening with primary
sludge;
3) Same as alternative 2 with the added option of allowing HRC
sludge to either co -settle with primary sludge or route to GBTs. GBT
feed pumping and piping system capable of accommodating a full
range of feedstock blends between WAS and HRC sludges.
provide conceptual plan view layouts for recommended interim thickening
alternative,
provide conceptual plan view layout of pipe routing for recommended interim
thickening alternative,
provide conceptual -level capital costs for each interim thickening alternative
(two concept -level capital cost estimates).
Present (through the defined deliverables) these alternatives to the CITY.
Following submittal of each technical memorandum (3 total), conduct a meeting with city
staff for presentation and review of each technical memorandum (total of two meetings).
Recommend the alternatives that successfully addresses the design problem,
Obtain the CITY's endorsement of this concept, and
Develop and present to the CITY a process control strategy and the associated Process
Mechanical Instrumentation Diagrams (PMIDs) for the recommended and endorsed interim
GBT thickening alternative.

Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., in the
Amount of $352,236.00 for the Design of the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility
Gravity Belt Thickener Addition (COUNCIL DISTRICT 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an engineering Agreement with
Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., in the amount of $352,236.00 for the design of the Village Creek Water
Reclamation Facility Gravity Belt Thickener Addition.
DISCUSSION:
The Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Gravity Belt Thickener System (GBT) was designed to
support the High Rate Clarification System by removal of solids from the wastewater for processing
into biosolids for beneficial reuse. The plant staff has requested that a third GBT be added and
modifications made to increase the efficiency of processing solids from the normal wastewater
treatment process.
The project consists of a study to determine the optimum chemical requirements for processing the
other normally produced sludges with GBTs and the installation of an additional GBT in the GBT
Building at the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility with all required modifications and additions
to process other normally produced sludges with GBT. Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., proposes to
perform this work for a fee not to exceed $352,236.00. Staff considers this fee to be fair and
reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to a 22
percent M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 20 percent.
In addition to the contract amount, $50,000.00 is required for project management by the Water
Department.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
