Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to enter into a service contract with Source Technologies, LLC for collection system odor and corrosion control services (RFP 24-032) in the amount of $71,000.00 and to execute any other related contract amendments not to exceed $90,000.00, subject to budget availability. This contract is funded by the Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund.
Hydrogen sulfide gases produced by bacteria in the sewer system causes odor and corrosion issues. If untreated, there will be odor complaints from citizens and additional rehabilitation work to pipes and manholes due to corrosion.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This action is in accordance with Durham County Strategic Plan Goal 4: “Environmental Stewardship and Community Prosperity,” as this will provide odor and corrosion control within the wastewater collection system resulting in an increase in the useful life of lift stations and gravity sewer lines, thus minimizing the risk of system failures due to corrosion.
Resource Persons: Jay Gibson PE, Director of E&ES; Wade Shaw, Utilities Superintendent; Stephanie Brixey, Deputy Director of E&ES
