RE: Biosolids Hauling for City of Otsego
Dear Mr. Neideirneier,
Fergus Falls, MN 56537
Fax (218) 736-7115
www.ferguspowerpump.com
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 900,000
gallons at 3.0 - 4% of Biosolids between the west and east plant, to haul and dispose of at permitted field sites
for City of Otsego.
Fergus Power Pump Inc. will provide quote for the hauling and injection of Biosolids.
Fergus Power Pump, Inc. will haul 500,000 gallons to permit sites approximately 2 miles away for the west
plant and will haul 400,000 gallons for the east plant and the permitted sites are approximately 10 miles away.
Fergus Power Pump, Inc. acknowledges the requirements are in the proposal request.
Fergus Power Pump, Inc. will supply all equipment necessary to remove, haul and injection of 900,000 gallons
from both plants and provide a quote as follows:

People Service Inc.
West Plant
Hauling, Land Application 500,000 gallons @ $0.045 / gallon $22,500.00
East Plant
Hauling, Land Application 400,000 gallons @ $0.054 /gallon $21,600.00
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
