BACKGROUND The biosolids drying projects are nearing completion. The solar houses are complete and in operation. This summer, these units have been able to dry the material to 85-90% solids, although normal operations expect to produce a range of 40 - 70% solids. Thermal dryer construction will be complete in late October. This dryer will dry the biosolids to over 90% solids, producing a class A biosolids product which will be marketable as a soil amendment. Prior to these installations, the City hauled an average of 15 tractor trailer loads of biosolids weekly to landfills in Lamar or Russellville. Fuel prices and tipping fees made the landfill operation cost prohibitive and unsustainable. A gas pipeline is required to put the thermal dryer in service; the dryer is scheduled for completion September 9, 2011. This pipe, plus approximately 6,600' of pipe that will be installed using in-house crews, will connect gas service from the gas meter at the Noland WWTF on Fox Hunter Road to the biosolids site on Wyman Road east of the White River. Once completed, we will be able to dry all biosolids in house, preventing hauling to landfills, and allow for virtually unrestricted and unlimited use of the product. DISCUSSION This Contract provides for the installation of 450 feet of 4 -inch steel pipe by directional drilling underneath the White River. Bids opened on August 16, 2011; the only bid received was from Goodwin & Goodwin. Their $119,250.00 bid is under the $120,000 certified for this project. Staff recommends awarding the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Goodwin & Goodwin. They have successfully completed a number of other projects for the City in recent years. BUDGET IMPACT Funds are available in the WSIP project budget. Telecommunications Device forthe Deaf TDD (479) 521-1316 113 West Mountain - Fayetteville, AR 72701 RESOLUTION NO.
