Recommended Action
Approval of the agreement with Trojan Technologies Corp for Industrial Water Treatment Facility (IWTF) Microfiltration System Module Replacement.
• The microfiltration system modules are a critical subsystem within the IWTF, which filters contaminants before the reverse osmosis process.
• The existing microfiltration system modules are at the end of life, and filtration effectiveness and efficiency have been reduced, limiting process flow through the IWTF system.
• Pall Corporation is the manufacturer of the microfiltration system. The modules are proprietary to the system. Trojan Technologies Corporation (formerly Pall Corporation) has the regional exclusivity rights to maintain and replace system components.
• The agreement is for a total not to exceed amount of $696,936.98 until project completion or September 30, 2025, whichever is sooner.
• Funding is partially budgeted under the Industrial Waste Treatment Facility Rehabilitation and Replacement Project (002423A) and partially in the Sod Farm Slurry Wall Project (003363A), included in the Capital Improvement Plan funded by the Solid Waste Trust Funds. Total available funding is the amount of the full project allocation as represented in the approved Capital Improvement Plan.
Contract No. 25-0131-N for a contract total not to exceed $696,936.98; Authorize the Chairman to sign and the Clerk of the Circuit Court to attest.

Summary:
Summary
The Pall microfiltration system was originally installed in 2013 as part of the IWTF system project. Trojan Technologies Corporation (formerly Pall Corporation) installed the original equipment. The microfiltration system modules are a critical subsystem within the IWTF, which filter contaminants before the reverse osmosis process. The modules have reached their end-of-life expectancy and filtration effectiveness, and efficiency have been reduced, limiting process flow through the IWTF system.
Body
Background Information:
The IWTF system is a critical asset at the Solid Waste Disposal Complex. On-site leachate and storm water is pumped to the IWTF for processing for use at the waste-to-energy facility as evaporative cooling system and boiler make-up water. Maximized flow rates through the IWTF is crucial as it reduces on-site water levels, which are extremely elevated due to major storms during Summer 2024.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding is partially budgeted under the Industrial Waste Treatment Facility Rehabilitation and Replacement Project (002423A), and partially in the Sod Farm Slurry Wall Project (003363A), included in the Capital Improvement Plan funded by the Solid Waste Trust Funds. Total available funding is the amount of the full project allocation as represented in the approved Capital Improvement Plan.
