STAFF MEMO
Meeting: Regular Council - Nov 09 2023
Staff Contact: Marjorie Craig, Utilities Director Department: Utilities
Consider Approval of Kimley Horn and Associates Pressurized Vessel (Filters) Upgrades Work
Authorization for Engineering Services at the Conventional Water Treatment Plant for a Cost of
$47,000
. -
The Utilities Department (UD or Utilities) recommends approval of a work authorization to Kimley-
Horn and Associates for engineering services related to upgrades of the six (6) pressurized vessels
(filters) for the conventional water treatment plant that treats water from the ten (10) surficial aquifer
wells for a cost of$47,000.
The filter media in the conventional filters needs to be replaced. While the filters are open, the
interiors of the pressure vessels need to be rehabbed to prevent later failures. The filters originally
contained green sand which is effective in removing iron that is naturally occurring in the surficial
wells and needs to be considered in the media replacement. In addition, PFAS/ PFOA testing was
recently conducted and while we are awaiting the final results, research has been conducted on
removal methods. One effective method of removal of some PFAS/ PFOA is granular activated
carbon or powdered activated carbon. Retrofitting these filters with carbon needs to be a part of the
filter media evaluation. A pilot test may be conducted with various filter media to determine the most
effective design. KH will draft an invitation to bid, respond to bidders' requests for information, review
bids received, and offer a recommendation of bid award. Filters can only be rehabbed two at a time
so the remaining filters will be included as "add alternates."
