Summary
1. Introduction
Premier Magnesia is happy to offer an extended turnkey operational plan for the City of Fort Worth.
Historically the relationship with the Village CreekWRF has been one as a commodity supplier,
contractually lumped In with other chemical supplies over a broad"Odor Control" contract, Moving
forward Premier Magnesia Is proposing to offer the vast array of services that we currently supply to
other Clients throughout the United States, Utilizing our"in house" expertise on all facets of water and
wastewater treatment. In addition to our expert staff we have numerous working relationships with
such esteemed organizations such as Vanderbilt University, Bucknell University and Virginia Tech.
By allowing a turnkey service at the Village Creek WRF we can harness many of the extended attributes
of Premier's technical grade magnesium hydroxide such as:
Improved Anaerobic digestion
- Improved A-S and F-F Treatment
Enhanced Struvite Recovery
Improved Blo-Phos Removal
Reduced Odors/Corrosion
- Fats,Oils&Grease Management
Historically we know that wastewater treatment Is NET acid producing with common wastewater
micro-organisms being more efficient in slightly alkaline pH-stable environments malting technical
grade magnesium hydroxide a key essential biological nutrient.Technical grade magnesium hydroxide
uses both pH and absorptive mechanisms to affect odors and total gas production. Divalent cations
and pH aid In clarification and dewatering as well.
By offering a holistic system management through our MgPaaS System we offer:
Consulting Services; a global/domestic leader in optimizing performance
of water and wastewater facilities with the use of magnesia
- Asset Protection
Odor Control
Nutrient Management/Recovery
Blosoiids Processing and Reuse

Summary
Premier Magnesia's offering to include a Turnkey or Holistic approach to the Village Creek WRF
provides the City of Fort Worth to capitalize.not only on a Partner with the same optimization goals as
Village Creek but also opens the door to significant cost savings throughout the facility. If we look at
the dewatering facility savings that the Cltycan realize alonethis could span into the millions of dollars.
By having technical grade magnesium hydroxide Introduced into the plant at the two locations
identified we will see a significant drop in wasting that then needs to be sent to third party dewatering
operators for final re-case, In addition to the drop in actual sludge that must be dewatered in will also
allow for the third-party operator to produce a much cleaner, dryer and less odorous product to be
land applied.

Questions and Answers
Q1. Can we bid an alternative to chlorine dioxide?
Al. The City is willing to consider an alternate bid for chlorine dioxide,providing that the proposed
solution utilizes Purate and sulfuric acid as the feedstock chemicals
QZ, How many dosing locations does the city expect to actually have on this bid? is N just one of the
WWTP,or up to 12 In the lift stations?
A2. The specifications state one location.
Q3. What is the pH target that the oiW expects for the wastewater that is treated with Magnesium
Hydroxide?
A3. Unknown, and will depend on application. Trial runs will be utilized to determine optimal dosing
parameters.
Q4. What Is the target for H28 gas?Should we put In the Odalogs?
A4. The chemical will be dosed at a rate to ensure odors are not affecting offslte receptors and/or to improve
solids treatment processes. 1-112S monitoring may be required if requested by the City.
Q5. What is the flow of the lime where the chemical will be dosed?
A5. Depends on application.Some process flows are below:
• The annual daily average Influent flow at Village Creak Is approximately 100 MGD and Is
subject to seasonal variations. Approximately 20%of this flow Is routed to Village
Creek's small primary clarifiers(identified as clarifiers 1 -6).
• Facility utilizes gravity thickeners,which have an average flow of approximately 2.8 MGD
• Average flow to the anaerobic digesters Is approximately 0.8-0.9 MGD

SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of Agreement for Chemical Odor Control Services
Part Two with Premier Magnesia, LLC in an Annual Amount Up to $836,580.00 for the
Water Department and Authorize Five One-Year Renewal Options for the Same Amount
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of an agreement for chemical odor
control services part two with Premier Magnesia, LLC in an annual amount up to $836,580.00 for the
Water Department and authorize five one-year renewal options for the same amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department approached the Purchasing Division for assistance with procuring an
agreement for chemical odor control services. The service is needed to control the odor and reduce
or eliminate corrosion concerns within the wastewater collection system. In order to procure this
service, staff issued request for proposals (RFP) No. 21-0184. The RFP consisted of detailed
specifications regarding the type of chemicals, delivery and reporting. The RFP was advertised in the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram on August 11, 2021, August 18, 2021, August 25, 2021, and September 1,
2021.
The City received three proposals. Proposals were evaluated on best value criteria including the
price, qualifications, methodology and past performance. Staff from the Water and Property
Management Department evaluated the proposals submitted and recommend awarding the contract
to Premier Magneisa, LLC with five one-year options to renew. No guarantee was made that a
specific amount of these services will be purchased.
Agreement Terms: Upon City Council's approval, this agreement will be executed and expire one year
from that date.
Business Equity: A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements is approved by the
Office Business Diversity, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the application of the
purchase of good or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are
negligible.
Administrative Change Order: An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City
Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does note
require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as
previously appropriated, in the Water& Sewer Fund to support the approval of the above
recommendation and execution of the purchase agreement. Prior to any expenditure being incurred,
the Water Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
