Body
SUMMARY:
Andritz is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for replacement parts and service used in the Belt Presses and Centrifuges at the Northeast and Marshall Street Water Reclamation Facilities (WRF). Belt Presses and Centrifuges (liquid/solid separation equipment) greatly reduce the volume of biosolids that must be disposed by land application, thus greatly reducing the cost of biosolids disposal.
The replacement parts and service are being purchased as a sole source due to the benefits of standardization in accordance with Article II, Section 2.564(1)(b), Code of Ordinances.
The City has a performance based contract with Siemens. The Centrifuges must be kept functional to meet compliance regulations of the contract and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Permits.
