Approval of and authorization to execute the Professional Services Agreement with BioChem for the 2025-2026 Service Agreement for the Sulfide Reduction in the Collection System
End
Background:
The Broken Arrow Municipal Authority owns and operates the lift stations throughout the City of Broken Arrow. BioChem is a biological fermentation system that helps reduce FOG and sludge in the lift stations as well as reduce hydrogen sulfide throughout the collection system. The reduction of hydrogen sulfide will help to reduce odor issues. The agreement with BioChem is a yearly contract that will include a monthly site visit to refill the biological supply and an inspection of equipment at the lift stations.
The Broken Arrow Municipal Authority has used Biochem as a monthly service since 2019. At the request of the Finance Department, we are moving into a more formalized process to allocate the funds into a yearly contract. The contract is through December 2026, therefore $260,271.78 will be taken from the 2026 O&M budget and $176,950.44 will be taken from the 2027 O&M budget.
Cost: $437,222.22
Funding Source: Utilities Department O&M Budget
