BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: <br />The Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved, in the 96 197 fiscal budget <br />year the purchase, in the amount of $18,000.00, of a Biofiltration unit from EG&G Biofiltration <br />for the elimination of Hydrogen Sulfide Gas. This unit was originally budgeted for the lift station <br />at Vista Royale, at which time was having an odor problem with Hydrogen Sulfide Gas. <br />Since then, additional counter measures have been taken at the Vista Royale location to manage <br />the odor problem. At this time, it is the recommendation of this department to utilize the <br />budgeted Biofiltration Unit at the Bailey Drive - Repump Station, in Sebastian Highlands, where <br />high levels of Hydrogen Sulfide Gas is creating an odor problem and customer sensitivity. The <br />proposed price of the unit and including shipping is $17,940.00. EG&G Biofiltration is the only <br />company who produces this complete filter system. The EG&G Biofiltration is being utilized at <br />other lift stations in the county. Therefore, due to being sole - source and the County's intent to <br />standardize its' equipment, staff is seeking approval from the Board for this purchase. <br />RECONII UMATION: <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County <br />Commissioners approve the purchase of the Biofiltration unit from EG&G Biofiltration in the <br />amount of $17,940.00 for the Bailey Drive - Repump Station, in Sebastian Highlands. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Ginn, to approve staff's recommendation <br />as set forth in the memorandum. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Adams assumed this was state- <br />of-the-art equipment, and Utility Services Director Terry Pinto <br />advised one of the problems has been determining the state-of-the- <br />art. The only draw back to this system is the size and appearance <br />of it. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />REVISIONS TO WATER AND WASTEWATER Ui LM STANDARDS <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 12, 1996: <br />DATE: DECEMBER 12, 1996 <br />TO: JAMES E.
