Board awards $79.9 million contract to rehabilitate clarifiers and sludge thickeners
Summary
The Board of Estimates approved a $79.9 million Department of Public Works contract (SC994) with Uleman Schutte Construction to rehabilitate clarifiers and gravity sludge thickeners as part of wastewater system capital maintenance.
The Board of Estimates on June 4 approved Department of Public Works contract SC994 — an award to Uleman Schutte Construction for $79,900,000 to rehabilitate clarifiers and gravity sludge thickeners.
The clerk read the award (SB2511421) into the record; the board approved the transfer of that nonroutine item into the routine agenda and subsequently voted to approve the contract. The rehabilitation project is a major capital investment in wastewater treatment and was discussed in the broader context of water/wastewater billing and cost allocations during the meeting.
Why it matters: the $79.9 million rehabilitation contributes to the operation and compliance of the city’s water/wastewater infrastructure and figures into cost allocations with regional partners that rely on city treatment facilities.
The item was approved by the board; DPW will manage project implementation and contract oversight.
