CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: Thermal Dryer Parts and Repairs at the Biosolids Management Site
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the purchase of spare parts and repair services for the
thermal drying unit located at the Biosolids Management Site (BMS) from AIT Services, Inc. in
the amount of $117,917.67 plus applicable taxes, to approve a project contingency in the
amount of $20,000.00, and to authorize future purchases of parts and repair services through
December 31, 2019.
BACKGROUND:
Biosolids are the solid by-product from the water recovery process. Prior to 2012, all biosolids
were landfill disposed. In 2012, the City implemented a sustainable, beneficial reuse drying
process that converts the biosolids to a thermally dehydrated, organic -based Class -A,
Exceptional Quality fertilizer, which is then sold for public use. The drying process is
accomplished through operation of a 24 -cubic yard Fenton CM 7214 Thermal Dryer system.
The biosolids drying process saves the City significant landfill costs annually, and through
November 2018 generated approximately $48,500 in fertilizer sales.
DISCUSSION:
The biosolids are dried within a rotating drum supported on either end by large split bearings.
Recent equipment inspections performed by AIT Services, Inc. identified stress damage to both
split bearings; more recently shaft movement has also been measured pointing towards
impending bearing failure. The manufacturer specified bearings are fabricated on a per order
basis resulting in lead times of up to 5 months. If a bearing fails without the availability of a
critical spare the thermal dryer down time could generate more than $500,000 of additional
landfill fees while waiting for parts fabrication and delivery. The recent equipment inspection
also identified several dryer components that are recommended to be replaced due to wear.
These parts are needed to extend the life of the dryer for up to 5 more years. AIT Services, Inc
is the sole authorized service and parts provider for Fenton Drying Systems.

AIT Services, Inc. quoted $114,917.67 for the thermal dryer parts and repairs, and freight has
been estimated in the amount of $3,000.00 for a total of $117,617.67. City staff recommends
the approval of a contingency in the amount of $20,000.00 for potential parts and labor costs
that could arise during the repair process.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Funds are available in the Wastewater Treatment Plant CIP — Plant Pumps and Equipment
project.
