Body
Dear Sir:
Authority is requested to add Project 15-074-3D, Installation of Baffle Plates in Final Settling Tanks, Terrence J. O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant, to the Engineering Department Capital Improvement Program and the Capital Improvements Bond Fund.
The purpose of this project is to improve the settling of solids within the Final Settling Tanks. A test baffle plate was installed in Tank B-1 and proved successful. Installation of permanent baffle plates will improve the solids settling and removal process, helping the District stay within NPDES limits.
The project consists of the following:
1. Clean and hose down the Final Settling Tanks, after the tanks have been drained.
2. Remove an existing steel and wood baffle plate in Final Settling Tank B-1.
3. Furnish and install circular FRP baffle plates and support framing under the influent wells in each of the 30 converted Final Settling Tanks in Batteries A, B and C.
The estimated cost of the project is $1,700,000.00.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, EBC:VG
Respectfully Submitted, Frank Avila, Chairman Committee on Finance
