RE: Biosolids Hauling for City of Otsego 2015
Dear Mr. Neidermeier,

Thank you for the opportunity to offer a proposal for hauling and land applying Biosolids from the City of
Otsego Wastewater Treatment Facility.
According to your email, we understand the following to be true. There are approximately a total of 700,000
gallons at 3.0% of Biosolids at the east plant, to haul and dispose of at permitted field sites for City of Otsego as
per proposal dated August 17,2015.
Fergus Power Pump Inc. will provide quote for the hauling and injection of Biosolids.
We understand the east plant has five separate application sites approximately 10.4 —10.5 miles away.
Fergus Power Pump, Inc. will supply all equipment necessary to remove, haul and injection of 7,000 gallons
from east plant and provide a quote as follows:

Ms Kurt Neidermeier
People Service Inc.
Land Application of Biosolids will be conducted as per Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, MPCA and EPA
Rules within regard to land application of Biosolids. Fergus Power Pump is a MPCA Type IV Certified
Corporation.
A fuel surcharge will be added should the price of fuel be over $3.50 / gallon, per invoice of usage per unit.
All equipment necessary will be full of fuel at the start of the project and refueled at the end of the end of the
project.
Example: Surcharge = Current price of fuel $3.85 - $3.50 = $0.35 * gallons used per unit
We will need to have a current analysis of the Biosolids and a copy of letter of authorization of the permitted
site before land application can take place.
If you have any questions or need clarifications please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Mitch Okerstrom
President
