After year one, the estimated <br />spend will be approximately $4,200 annually for support services. <br />Project summary statement: <br />Public Works requires a lagoon algae control system at the Water Pollution Control Facility <br />(WPCF). Approval of the sole source resolution will allow Public Works to purchase the system, <br />control the lagoon’s total suspended solids, and stay in compliance with National Pollution <br />Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. <br />The lagoons system at the WPCF can experience a large amount of algae growth due to the <br />environmental conditions. The WPCF staff does not have an established process to control algae <br />bloom at the lagoons. <br />By installing the MPC Buoy algae control system from LG Sonic, the City would proactively control <br />lagoon algae with low, long-term costs and maintenance. Improving the water quality is part of <br />the WPCF mission and vision to provide exceptional wastewater treatment, while ensuring a <br />clean and natural resource for future generations. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Adopt the resolution waiving public bidding requirements and approving a multiple-year sole <br />source purchase of a MPC Buoy Algae Control system and replacement parts from LG Sonic Inc.
