TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JULY 6, 2017
COMMITTEE ON MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Final report on emergency Contract 16-800-01, Installation of Odor Control at Thornton Reservoir Drop Shafts to Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., Purchase Order 5001570, Account 101-68000-612600
Body
Dear Sir:
In the first two weeks of October of 2016, the District received approximately 130 odor complaints related to the Thornton Reservoir. It was determined that the installation of an odor misting system at two Calumet Basin TARP shafts which lead into the reservoir would substantially reduce odor emissions. The Stickney WRP had an odor misting system via a contract with Nu-Recycling Inc., which was found to be a successful means of odor control.
On October 12, 2016, in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Purchasing Act, the then Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations declared an operating emergency to install odor misting systems on the two TARP shafts adjacent to the Thornton Reservoir, in the amount of $28,000.00.
Nu-Recycling Technology Inc., installed the misting system which went into service on October 28, 2016.
Final completion under Contract 16-800-01 was achieved on December 30, 2016, with a final cost of $19,500.00.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:TMC:RD
Respectfully submitted, David Walsh, Chairman, Committee on Maintenance and Operations
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for July 6, 2017
