PROPOSED CONTINGENCY USE
PROPOSED ITEMS • Maintenance Shop Heat • HSOW Dumpster Shelter • Aeration Slide Gates • Sludge Pump Spare Parts • Material Matters Consulting Agreement • Primary Clarifier Ice Prevention System 2
MAINTENANCE SHOP HEAT
• The maintenance shop heat was not considered a necessary improvement. • Commissioning of new heating system for Administration building upgrade – shop heating not sufficient • Proposal for new more efficient radiant heating
HSOW DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE ▪ The new HSOW Building will take in hauled-in waste – resulting in screening debris. ▪ Original plan was to haul it down to our Service Building. ▪ Decision to have a dedicated dumpster near the HSOW Building.
AERATION TANK SLIDE GATES o As an early cost cutting exercise, it was determined that the gates were operable, though hard to move. o Decided to not include them in the original budget. o To truly maintain and extend the diffuser’s life, frequent maintenance is needed.

SPARE SLUDGE PUMP PARTS ✓ Room in the Solids Building for one pump. ✓ Early decision was to not have spare parts – due to BDP’s service and availability of stock
items. ✓ Current operations – with the Belt Press operational, we understood the need to have a shelf spare in house. 6
