This M&C is to authorize execution of Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $81,696.00 to City Secretary Contract No. 53332 with Synagro of
Texas -CDR, Inc., for the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Biosolids Management and Beneficial Reuse project for a revised contract
amount of $58,179,699.00. This Change Order provides for professional services to amend the air permit for the Village Creek Biosolids
Management and Beneficial Reuse Facility (VCBMBR).
The current air permit allows VCBMBR to use natural gas as fuel for the new biosolids dryer. The City is working on a project to deliver biogas
produced at the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility to VCBMBR so that it can be used as a supplemental fuel source for the dryer. The air
permit amendment is required to allow biogas to be utilized as a supplemental fuel source.
