Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Description:
This agreement provides funding to the City of Bemidji to implement its project to construct one new final clarifier that is equal in size to the existing final clarifiers at the City of Bemidji's wastewater treatment facility located in Bemidji, Beltrami County, Minnesota.
Activities:
The activities to be performed are to construct a final clarifier gallery that is similar in size the existing gallery is also proposed. Additionally, associated infrastructure, such as electrical, piping and valves, and HVAC, would be upgraded. Expansion of the two existing secondary clarification tanks and mechanisms with a third tank and mechanism, the existing polymer feed system for reliable secondary clarifier performance, as well as existing waste sludge ad scum removal pumps. A new gallery building would be constructed to facilitate operation of the third secondary clarifier tank and mechanism. The project includes mechanical, electrical, and controls improvements to the existing secondary clarifier treatment equipment which are required for the existing structures to meet code requirements.
Subrecipient:
No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes:
The anticipated deliverables are construction: receipt, review, and award of bids for the construction project and construction of the project in the final design documents, which are expected to lead to on-site observation for major construction activities, verification of third-party testing, and start-up and training for equipment. On-site observation will help identify issues or hurdles early, minimizing impacts to construction progress and reducing potential change orders. Regular construction progress meetings will occur throughout the construction period. The addition of a third secondary clarifier will help maintain a high-level of treatment performance, provide redundancy, and provide the required capacity needed for the City of Bemidji.
