RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Fergus Power Pump Inc. to fully empty the East Wastewater Treatment Storage Tank for a
proposed estimate of $41,794.00.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT?
IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No
No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The East Wastewater Treatment Facility Storage Tank was reviewed for complete solids removal to
mitigate future odors. The tank is designed as a process structure oxidation ditch, maintaining a flat
bottom. Existing equipment does,not allow for complete mixing and solids removal for a full cleaning.
Quotes for solids removal from this Storage Tank were requested from two contractors; one responded
with the attached quote and another was unable to assist due to lack of necessary equipment. There
are very limited contractors with the equipment and knowledge to complete the requested project. The
included proposal provides mobilization, cleaning and removal with land application at a project cost of
$41,794.00.
Fergus Power Pump (FPP) was approved at the September 12th council meeting for Biosolids hauling and
application this fall. The City has used FPP for application purposes in the past with excellent reviews.
Staff provides recommendation of acceptance of the project. The Public Works Subcommittee reviewed
the proposal at the October 181h meeting with recommendation of approval.

RE: CLEANING OXIDATION DITCH AT OSTEGO, MN
Dear Mr. Neidermeier
Thank you for the opportunity to offer a proposal for cleaning the oxidation ditch at City of Otsego East Waste Water
Treatment Facility.
City of Otsego will pump water from the oxidation ditch. Fergus Power Pump, Inc. will clean and remove the remaining
material of approximately 150,000 gallons after annual land application.
The material removed will be land applied and or as an alternative to transport the material to City of Buffalo Waste
Water Treatment Facility. City of Otsego will be responsible for tipping and all other associated costs to transfer to City of
Buffalo Waste Water Treatment Facility.
To provide the most economical method for cleaning the oxidation ditch, Fergus Power Pump, Inc. proposes a project cost
as follows:
Mob & Demob (Lump Sum) $ 5,127.00
Cleaning, Removing, $28,567.00
Option 1: Transporting material from Oxidation Ditch to land application site $8,100.00
Option 2: Transporting material from Oxidation Ditch to Buffalo WWTF $8,100.00
The total project cost with either option is $41,794.00 along with tipping fees and all other fees for transferring to Buffalo
as previously stated.
This Project is estimated to take 40 -60 hours due to potential unforeseen possibilities and the project hours become more,
those additional hours will be at $525.00 / hour.
Upon receipt of Purchase Order, this proposal becomes a binding agreement between Fergus Power Pump, Inc. and City
of Otsego.
Once again, Fergus Power Pump, Inc. would like to thank you for the opportunity in submitting a proposal for your
project.
If you have any questions or need clarifications, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Mitch Okerstrom, President
