City of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />M£MORANDUM <br /> <br />Item #4.3. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Counci~ <br /> / / <br />Pat Klaers, City Adm~trator <br /> <br />February 12, 2001 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Consider Ventilation Proposal for WWTP Digester <br /> and Grit Removal Buildings <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Wastewater Chief Operator Gary Leirmoe has been working with our city <br />engineering firm, Howard R. Green Company, and Safety Coordinator Bruce <br />West, to evaluate safety issues in the WWTP Digester Building, Grit Room, <br />and Screen Room. The concern in these areas is the ventilation system. <br /> <br />Attached for your information is a memo from the City Engineer to Gary <br />regarding an outline of the work that needs to be accomplished and the <br />estimate for necessary improvements. This type of expense is significant but <br />the ramification for doing the work far outweighs any cost that may be <br />incurred. This type of facility improvements is why the city has plant <br />replacement and expansion expenditures built into the annual WWTP <br />operating budget. Accordingly, funds are available for this expenditure. <br /> <br />Staff requests Council approval to move forward with bidding out this <br />project. The City Engineer will be in attendance at the Council meeting on <br />February 12, 2001, to answer questions on this proposal. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
