Consider approval of Emergency Repairs for the IAWWTF Adjourn Packet TB Resolution 2021- : Approve Emergency Repairs for Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility Activated Sludge Blowers Whereas, the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility (IAWWTF) is owned and operated by the Town of Ithaca, City of Ithaca, and Town of Dryden ("Municipal Owners"), and the activated sludge process is a secondary treatment component at the IAWWTF, and Whereas, biological growth in the activated sludge tanks is maintained through aeration, the process of mixing compressed air (oxygen) with settled wastewater in the process tanks to sustain biological treatment, and Whereas, the IAWWTF has two (2) Turblex and two (2) Hoffman industrial grade blower(s) to provide compressed air to treatment processes, and Whereas, both of the Turblex blowers suffered catastrophic bearing and impeller failures in December 2020, and March 2021, respectively, eliminating system redundancy, and Whereas, a recent failure analysis, diagnostic and service report provided by BCV Systems substantiated these catastrophic failures, and Whereas, in accordance with State standards, the facility cannot operate as designed without having a redundant means for aeration, and Whereas, IAWWTF engineering consultants MRB Group, Engineering, Architecture & Surveying, D.P.C. ("MRB Group") evaluated blower repairs and replacements and evaluated three vendors as options for recommended blower replacements, and in its April 23, 2021 draft report MRB Group recommended blower replacements, with an estimated average project cost of $328,800, and Whereas, in comment 4 of the report, MRB Group notes that the need for repair or replacement is "urgent" and states that with only two functioning blowers, IAWWTF has many operational concerns which constitute an "emergency," including a lack of process redundancy and an inability to fine tune aeration rates; these alone can lead to undesirable operational conditions causing excessive biological growth leading to potential SPDES permit exceedances and improperly treated wastewater, and 1 Whereas, after receipt of additional information and further evaluation, in an email dated May 10, 2021, MRB Group now recommends blower repairs (instead of replacements) as the best and most cost efficient strategy, with a factory rebuild of the two (2) Turblex blowers, along with associated programming and mechanical modifications, and Whereas, MRB Group prepared a Cost Estimate for Ithaca Blower Rebuild last updated on May 11, 2021 ("Cost Estimate") with a total repair cost of $237,970, which cost is reduced to $230,570 once the $7,400 allocated to warranty is removed (because the warranty is included in a separate proposed Service Agreement); the Cost Estimate is based on proposals by Howden Roots LLC ("Howden") for in -factory evaluation, parts, and start-up support, a BCV Systems proposal for additional parts (Howden will provide these parts as well), estimated controls integration by LECTRE Development, Inc., estimated MRB Group engineering costs, and estimates of labor and associated costs for blower removal and installation by MA Bongiovanni, Inc. and Mateo Electric Corporation, and Whereas, Howden Roots LLC has also proposed a three-year Service Agreement in the amount of $67,400 that includes a three-year warranty on Howden's blowers components repairs and three years of maintenance on the rebuilt Turblex blowers; the IAWWTF's current annual expenditure of $17,000-$20,000/year on Turblex blowers maintenance by BCV Systems would cease if the Municipal Owners enter into the three-year Service Agreement with Howden Roots LLC, and Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") andits implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Ithaca Town Board that approval of the project is a Type II action because it constitutes "maintenance or repair involving no substantial changes in an existing structure or facility," and thus approval of the project is not subject to review under SEQRA, now, therefore be it Resolved, for the reasons stated above, and pursuant to the provisions of New York General Municipal Law §103(4), the Ithaca Town Board finds and determines that a public emergency exists at the IAWWTF arising out of an unforeseen occurrence or condition whereby circumstances affecting the life, health, safety or property of the IAWWTF and the Town of Ithaca and other municipalities bordering the southern end of Cayuga Lake require immediate action which cannot await competitive bidding, and be it further Resolved, that the Ithaca Town Board approves (1) the rebuild of the two (2) Turblex blowers as described in the Cost Estimate and its attached documents, for a cost, including contingencies, not to exceed the sum total of Two Hundred Thirty Thousand Five Hundred Seventy Dollars and No Cents ($230,570.00), and (2) the three-year Service Agreement with Howden Roots LLC in the amount of Sixty -Seven Thousand Four Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($67,400.00), and authorizes the Town Supervisor to execute contracts or contract amendments with Howden Roots LLC, LECTRE Development, Inc., MRB Group, Engineering, Architecture & Surveying, D.P.C., MA Bongiovanni, Inc. and Mateo Electric Corporation for such project, subject to the approval of the Attorney for the Town, and be it further Resolved, that funds necessary for said repairs to blowers be derived from the following sources as determined by the Ithaca City Controller: operating funds, Fund balance, serial bonds issued by the City of Ithaca (the Town of Ithaca would not co -issue or be liable on the bonds and would reimburse the City of Ithaca through a contract), capital reserves, grants and Federal stimulus funds, with the respective shares of the Municipal Owners' costs allocated as required by the Joint Sewer Agreement (revised December 31, 2003, and last amended February 20, 2019), and be it further Resolved, that the approvals and authorizations in this resolution are contingent on IAWWTF co - owners City of Ithaca and Town of Dryden approving and authorizing said blowers rebuild and contracts. Moved: Seconded: Vote: Ayes — MEETING OF THE ITHACA TOWN BOARD Wednesday, May 12, 2021 TB Resolution 2021- : Approve Emergency Repairs for Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility Digesters WHEREAS, the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility (IAWWTF) is owned and operated by the Town of Ithaca, City of Ithaca, and Town of Dryden ("Municipal Owners"), and primary and secondary sludge digestion is a vital process at the IAWWTF, and WHEREAS, digestion is necessary in dewatering and stabilizing solids for disposal, biogas production for heating and electrical generation, and in the receipt of trucked in wastes, a revenue generating service, and WHEREAS, on the night of March 11-12, 2021, a blockage caused by excessive debris in the primary digester overflow line caused the liquid level in the tank to surge upwards and lift the digester cover approximately 18 inches, breaking anchor bolts, mounts, and concrete, and WHEREAS, the immediate blockage was relieved by Drain Brain sewer service and the excess liquid was drained, allowing the primary digester cover to settle back into place but it is no longer anchored in place, and WHEREAS, the digester will need extensive repairs to the cover, anchorage system, and sludge piping and valves to remove further blockages and restore reliable digester operations, and WHEREAS, in accordance with standards, the facility cannot operate as designed without the primary digester in operation, and WHEREAS, the loss of sludge management and treatment provided by this facility presents many concerns including, but not limited to, the inability to adequately maintain appropriate sludge treatment standards, the potential inability to meet plant SPDES permit requirements, the inability to adequately process sludge, increases in trucking, hauling, and disposal costs, the inability to properly receive trucked in waste from regional sources that rely on the IAWWTF for treatment, the potential loss of revenue, and increases in costly plant energy consumption, and WHEREAS, in a letter (last revised on May 12, 2021) by GHD Consulting Services Inc. ("GHD"), which was hired to evaluate emergency repairs for the primary digester, the opening narrative states that the issues with the primary digester and associated equipment constitute an "emergency situation which requires immediate action" on the part of the IAWWTF, and WHEREAS, the letter identifies a number of actions that need to be addressed as part of the emergency repair (the "project"), including removal of primary digester contents, repair of the primary digester anchoring system, evaluation, cleaning, inspection and repairs of the piping systems associated with both the primary and secondary digesters, along with work on the supporting appurtenances as well as secondary digester cleaning, inspections and repairs, and 1 WHEREAS, in a separate May 12, 2021 letter, GHD provided an Opinion of Probable Costs for the project of $1,500,000, plus a 10% contingency, with a Total Opinion of Costs of $1,650,000, and WHEREAS, at its April 28, 2021 special meeting, the IAWWTF's Special Joint Committee ("SJC") adopted a resolution recommending to its municipal boards that they approve said project not to exceed the sum total of $1,650,000, which total GHD had provided to the SJC as a preliminary estimate (and subsequently confirmed in its May 12, 2021 letter), and WHEREAS, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Ithaca Town Board that approval of the project is a Type II action because it constitutes "maintenance or repair involving no substantial changes in an existing structure or facility," and thus approval of the project is not subject to review under SEQRA, now, therefore be it RESOLVED, for the reasons stated above, and pursuant to the provisions of New York General Municipal Law §103(4), the Ithaca Town Board finds and determines that a public emergency exists at the IAWWTF arising out of an unforeseen occurrence or condition whereby circumstances affecting the life, health, safety or property of the IAWWTF and the Town of Ithaca and other municipalities bordering the southern end of Cayuga Lake require immediate action which cannot await competitive bidding, and be it further RESOLVED, that the Ithaca Town Board approves the emergency digesters repairs project, as described in GHD's two May 12, 2021 letters, for a cost, including contingencies, not to exceed the sum total of One Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($1,650,000.00), and authorizes the Town Supervisor to execute contracts or contract amendments with MA Bongiovanni, Inc. and GHD Consulting Services Inc. for such project, subject to the approval of the Attorney for the Town, and be it further RESOLVED, that funds necessary for said project shall be derived from the following sources as determined by the Ithaca City Controller: insurance recovery, serial bonds issued by the City of Ithaca (the Town of Ithaca would not co -issue or be liable on the bonds and would reimburse the City of Ithaca through a contract), grants and Federal stimulus funds, with the respective shares of the Municipal Owners' costs allocated as required by the Joint Sewer Agreement (revised December 31, 2003, and last amended February 20, 2019), and be it further RESOLVED, that the approvals and authorizations in this resolution are contingent on IAWWTF co -owners City of Ithaca and Town of Dryden approving and authorizing said project and contracts.

The 3 year warranty is tied to the service agreement as it will include yearly trips to the plant for inspections. This allows Howden security in providing the extended warranty by ensuring the blowers are maintained per the OEM recommendations. The repair of the blowers will include our standard one year parts and labor warranty if the service agreement is not purchased.

Is the intent of your proposal to say that if awarded the 3 year maintenance contract you will also provide a 3 year warranty on the blower components repairs in your factory? We understand that the motors and other items not shipped to you would not have any warranty. Please confirm the 3 year question. Thanks Tim Carpenter, P.E.

This will be done by Howden at no charge. The computer program which controls the blowers was provided by Howden when the blowers were originally installed.

S510 Ithaca VWWP — 3 Year LTSA Page 3 of 3 5788 Widewaters Parkway, Suite 2A Syracuse, New York 13214 United States www.ghd.com Our ref: 11153020 May 12, 2021 Scott Gibson Assistant Superintendent City of Ithaca — DPW Division of Water & Sewer 510 First Street Ithaca, NY 14850 Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility Emergency Repairs — Primary Digester Failure (Revised from April 28, 2021) Dear Mr. Gibson GHD On March 12th 2021, the Primary Digester at the Ithaca Area WWTF experienced a blockage in the sludge transfer line that allows it to drain to the Secondary Digester which resulted in a failure of the Primary Digester cover and restraint system and has subsequently caused the digester to be taken out of service. Currently, the WWTF's Secondary Digester is functioning as the sole primary digester for the WWTF. Efforts are currently underway to return the Primary Digester to service, but system repairs are needed to restore full functionality to the Primary Digester. The failure of the primary digester and subsequent removal from service have greatly reduced the WWTF's capacity for storage and stabilization of solids. Additionally, the WWTF has lost the redundancy of having a second digester available. In the event that the Secondary Digester, currently functioning as primary, experiences an operational problem or shut down, the City would need to take extraordinary action to handle/process the solids removed in the wastewater treatment process. The condition of the sludge piping and associated valves in the digester complex and connecting to other areas of the plant was a contributing factor in the failure of the Primary Digester. Important connections in this piping network are plugged or partially plugged, reducing the WWTF staff's ability to operate the digester system as designed. Over the years, attempts to clear these impacted pipes have largely been unsuccessful. Inspection and repair of this piping network is critical to restoring reliable operation of the digester system. As described, it is GHD's professional engineering opinion that the condition of the Primary Digester and associated equipment constitutes an emergency situation which requires immediate action on the part of the City. The NYSDEC is aware of this situation and is monitoring the progress of the ongoing repairs. Recommendations: Upon review of the situation and conditions of the Primary Digester tank, cover, and associated piping, valves, and appurtenances, the following list has been prepared to identify the items which should be addressed as a part of this emergency repair. • Remove Primary Digester contents, dewater, and haul away for disposal —+ The Power of Commitment • Re -anchor existing Primary Digester cover to existing concrete digester tank walls, including all necessary modifications and repairs to restore digester operation • Unplug and clear bottom sludge withdrawal piping in Primary Digester, connected to Digested Sludge Pumps (primary piping used to withdraw collected solids settled at bottom of digester) • Identification, inspection, cleaning andrepair or replacement (where necessary to restore system functionality) of existing piping systems in the digester complex, associated with both the Primary and Secondary Digesters, including associated valves and appurtenances • Dewater, clean, and remove accumulated solids from the Secondary Digester as necessary to accommodate inspection, cleaning, repair or replacement (where necessary to restore system functionality)of the existing piping systems associated with the digestion process (similar to primary digester) • Any other repairs to the Primary and Secondary Digesters and related systems that are identified as critical to reliable and safe operation of the digestion process Please feel free to contact us to discuss any questions or comments you may have regarding the proposed repair work outlined herein.

These costs represent those needed to perform the emergency repairs to the digester system and address the underlying conditions which contributed to the failure. They have been developed based on the information available, prior to accessing the digester systems to further assess the extent of the damage and issues. The opinion of probable costs for these emergency repairs are as follows: Please contact us to discuss any questions or comments you may have regarding the digester repair work. Regards ,r Jason D.
