G. _Bar Screen and Grinder Pump_for Lift Station - County Jail, <br />Phase I <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/13187: <br />TO: Members of the <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />DATE; October 13, 1987 <br />�c <br />SUBJECT: BAR SCREEN AND GRINDER PUMP <br />FOR PHASE I IFT STATION <br />THROUGH: H. T. Dean <br />Solid Was Man gement <br />FROM: Joseph A. Bai <br />' OMB Director <br />Exblanation <br />The lift station constructed to facilitate sewage flow from <br />Phase I of the County jail is experiencing significant <br />operational problems due to large quantities of grease being <br />generated. Phase II of the jail and the Sheriff's Administration <br />Building (scheduled to be completed in the near future), will <br />need to utilize this lift station, which will compound the <br />existing grease problem. Utility staff is recommending a bar <br />screen, grease trap and grinder pump be installed at a cost of <br />$12,701.00 plus installation to reduce the maintenance and <br />operational problems. <br />Funding <br />Initial installation and design of the lift station was <br />paid for by the Utilities Department. It is their feeling that <br />the cost to modify the lift station should be paid from Phase II <br />of the Jail. - <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners authorize <br />the modifications of the lift station at a price not to exceed <br />$24,000 be transferred from Phase II contingencies (391-906-581- <br />099.91) to Construction.in Progress (391-906-523-066.51). <br />Commissioner Bird felt all of the Commissioners have been <br />frustrated from time to time regarding change orders for the new <br />Jail, but it seemed to him that this problem should have been <br />addressed during the design stage. He understood that Utilities <br />Director Pinto has indicated that the problem is not just grease <br />and that the grinder is needed for other things that are thrown <br />into the sewer. <br />,OCT 2 0 1g87 9 BOOK 69 FACFI,9 <br />L <br />
