Background:
The purchase of a new sludge trailer for the Utilities Department will enhance the City's ability to efficiently transport materials from both the Water Treatment Plant and the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This specialized trailer is essential for the safe and effective hauling of sludge and other byproducts generated during the water treatment process.
The Fiscal Year 2025 Budget included funding for a new front-end loader, project 2554320. The front-end loader was intended to perform sludge removal for the water plant sludge drying beds. Staff has determined a more economical and timely method of utilizing conveyors to get the sludge out of the basin and the new trailer will facilitate in hauling to the landfill. The attached budget transfer reallocates the budget for project 2554320 to project 2554740 for the trailer and to project 2554750 for the conveyors.
By investing in this equipment, the City aims to improve operational efficiency, minimize potential delays in waste removal, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. The new sludge trailer will provide a dependable solution for managing treatment plant materials, ultimately supporting the delivery of high-quality water and wastewater services to the residents of Broken Arrow.
The Quote from Great Western Trailer was provided in accordance with Oklahoma State Contract SW0198 pricing. City Staff recommends proceeding with the purchase and requests approval from the Broken Arrow Municipal Authority.
