AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 7.N.
For Meeting of: October 15, 2024
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing an Agreement with Apollo, Inc. for Project
WF2761 Biosolids Dewatering Improvements at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Director of Public Works
* Mike Price, Wastewater/Stormwater Manager
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Biosolids generated during the wastewater treatment process at the City of Yakima (City) Wastewater
Treatment Plant require dewatering to reduce hauling costs to beneficial use sites. The treatment plant
currently utilizes two aging dewatering centrifuges that have reached the end of their service lives. The
centrifuge process is energy intensive, requires frequent expensive maintenance by specialist repair
firms, and requires the full-time attendance of a wastewater treatment plant operator.
The Wastewater Division's facility planning process identified screwpress dewatering technology as a
proven replacement for centrifugation. The City ran three successful screwpress pilot studies at the
treatment plant between 2019 and 2022 to verify effective biosolids dewatering with the screwpress
process.
City Project WF2761 replaces the centrifuges with screwpress units that require low power input,
reduced maintenance, and only part-time operator attendance. A preliminary power usage analysis
showed that replacing the centrifuges could save up to 500,000 kilowatt hours of power usage annually,
potentially qualifying the project for a reimbursement of up to $100,000. The project also includes
biosolids conveyor improvements that allow efficient and unattended loadout of dewatered biosolids to
the transport trailers.
The City previously entered into an agreement with RH2 Engineering, Inc. under Resolution R-2023-094
to provide design, bidding, and construction services for the improvements. The City utilized the
procedure established by the State of Washington for competitively bidding projects. Four contractors
submitted bids, with Apollo, Inc. submitting the lowest bid of$5,996,895.90.
The Agreement in an amount not to exceed $5,996,895.90 is attached for City Council review. The
project is funded by Wastewater Capital Fund 478.
