Weipert, Chairperson Planning and Building Committee FROM: Sidney Lockhart, P.E., Special Projects Manager SUBJECT: Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility Drainage District — Bio-Solids Handling and Septage Receiving Facility Bond Issue DATE: March 21, 2017 The Drainage Board for the Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility is asking the Board of Commissioners to approve the attached resolution for the sale of bonds to fund the Bio-Solids Handling and Septage Receiving Facility project. Bonds, in the amount of $42 million, will be sold by the Michigan Finance Authority as part of the MDEQ State Revolving Fund loan program, with an interest rate capped at 2.5%. The resolution pledges the County's full faith and credit. A map of the project area and a project description are attached. The Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility Drainage District will be assessed for the project. Municipalities in the district include the City of Auburn Hills, the Charter Township of Independence, the City of Lake Angelus, the Village of Lake Orion, the Charter Township of Oakland, the Charter Township of Orion, the Charter Township of Oxford, the Village of Oxford, the City of Pontiac, the City of Rochester, the City of Rochester Hills, the Charter Township of Waterford and the Charter Township of West Bloomfield. The Drainage Board has undertaken an improvement project for critical work needed at the facility. This facility serves approximately 20,000 Pontiac residents and accepts 30% of the sanitary sewer flow from the County's Clinton-Oakland Sanitary Sewer System. This project will enable the facility to meet current regulations and address sludge processing needs. On behalf of the Drainage District, we request that this matter be placed on your Planning and Building Committee Agenda for March 21, 2017. Our intent is to present the matter to the Finance Committee on April 20, 2017, and then submit it for full Board of Commissioners' consideration on April 26, 2017. Sid Lockhart and/or Razik Alsaigh will attend the meetings to answer any questions that may arise. Jim Nash OAKLAND COUNTY WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER Page 1 of 1 Biosolids Handling and Septage Receiving Facility Project Description The Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility consists of the East Boulevard facility and the Auburn facility interconnected to operate as one facility. The East Boulevard plant was placed into service in 1921. The Auburn plant was constructed in 1962 and both were renovated in the 1980's. Upgrades were recently made at both facilities in 2010, 2012 and in 2014. The Perry Street Pump Station began pumping flow diverted from the Clinton Oakland Interceptor to the facility in 2015. Most of the East Boulevard's and Auburn's equipment is beyond its useful life and is not performing at optimal levels. Improvements are necessary to efficiently accommodate this extra flow. After solicitation for proposals, the drainage board selected CDM Smith as the design engineer. The project consists of the following: 1. Thermal Hydrolysis Pre-treatment (THP) system, including: a. Pre-dewatering centrifuges b. Solids screens c. Steam boilers d. Sludge cooling system 2. Construction of a 80-foot by 100-foot, two-story Biosolids Handling Building for the new THP system and support equipment including the new dewatering centrifuges 3. Primary and secondary digester mixing equipment and cover 4. Replacement of biosolids dewatering belt filter presses 5. Improvements to the biosolids storage pad 6. Septage receiving station 7. Sludge belt conveyors from the Biosolids Handling Building 8. A building for the new septage receiving equipment 9. A prefabricated building for the new digester electrical equipment 10. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) improvements to fully automate and integrate operations Bids will be received on April 12, 2017. It is anticipated that the notice to proceed will be issued in July 2017. The project is expected to be completed by July 2019. slViLatiOIXIIM:11011.
