Authorization
REQUEST: Utility/Public Works Department Requesting Approval for the Purchase of
Rotary Screen Thickener for the West Water Reclamation Facility.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request approval for the purchase of a Rotary
Screen Thickener for the West Water Reclamation Facility from FKC Company,
LTD. for $85,500.
CONSIDERATIONS:
An Invitation to Bid was advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on April 23, 2006. The
Bid(s) were opened on May 17, 2003. Only one bid was received by FKC Company, LTD.
for this specialized product. The bid received from FKC was $85,500 including delivery
cost from their manufacturing facility. FKC is one of a limited number of manufacturers of
Rotary Screen Thickeners.
The Rotary Screen Thickener (RST) is needed to reduce the cost of hauling solids
from the West Water Reclamation Facility (WWRF) by increasing the solids content of the
sludge from 1% to 4%. An RST installed at the East Water Reclamation Facility has
reduced the hauling volume of solids by 75%. It is expected that similar reductions will be
achieved at the WWRF.
The Wastewater Division spent over $140,000 last fiscal year to dispose of solids.
Because of hauling cost increases, the we are projecting the current fiscal years expenses at
over $170,000. The WWRF accounts for over 74% of this year's disposal cost due to the
inability to increase the solids from 1% to 4%. The installation of the RST is estimated to
reduce the disposal cost 50% to 75%.
