Summary

Minutes report a crack in a Kason vibratory screener for the dryer project and that staff initiated a warranty claim; both east thickened primary sludge pumps are installed with AMAHA completing electrical work and building #8 decant tank delivery expected in early August.

Staff reported that the Kason vibratory screener on the dryer project developed "a small crack where the product discharges the unit," and that communication has been initiated with the manufacturer to pursue a warranty claim. Staff said suggested mitigations include adding slack at connection points or using corrugated connections to prevent recurrence.

Demolition on the primary skimmings equipment has begun, and the manufacturer of the building #8 skimmings decant tank is expected to provide delivery in early August.
