W.O. 19-20, Water Treatment Plant Solids Hauling, will excavate and haul approximately 10,000 cubic yards of river sediment to the Landfill.  The Water Treatment Plant dredges the sedimentation basins on a yearly basis and places the material into drying beds.  Once the material is dry, it is hauled to a designated site.

The project was advertised on December 21st and 28th, 2018, and January 4th and 11th, 2019, in the Yellowstone County News and on the City's website. Bids were opened on January 15, 2019, and 7 bids were received. Warren Transport, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid.

City Council may:

• Approve the construction contract with Warren Transport, Inc. for W.O. 19-20 Water Treatment Plant Solids Hauling in the amount of $102,150.50, or;
• Do not approve the construction contract.  If the project is not constructed, the Water Plant will not have sufficient room in the drying beds to dredge the sedimentation basins which will make it problematic to get the raw water into the treatment process to provide drinking water to the City.  

Funding for the project will be water revenues budgeted for FY19.
