Enclosed please find a copy of the amendment for your records. Sincerely, /s/ Hillary Horvath Hillary Horvath, Clerk Page 1 of 1 INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION OF ENGINEERING TO: Hillary Horvath, Clerk Board of Public Works FROM: Jacob M. Klosinski, PE, Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement – Arcadis US, Inc. Wastewater Treatment Plant Belt Filter Press Piping and Chemical Addition DATE: March 16, 2026 The Division of Engineering and Division of Wastewater requests the Board of Public Works approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Arcadis US, Inc. at its March 24, 2026 meeting for engineering design of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Belt Filter Press Piping and Chemical Addition project Background The Division of Wastewater has been working with its Operations and Maintenance staff to determine issues with shaking and vibrating piping at its Dewatering Building. The Digester effluent piping that distributes digested solids to the Dewatering Belt Filter Press Building was opened and examined. Upon inspection, it was determined that there is heavy struvite building inside the cast iron piping. Struvite is a white crystalline phosphate mineral that can cause scaling and build up in pipes. The resulting scaling has caused a reduction in the cross-sectional flow area of the pipes. This restriction results in higher velocities in the pipe during normal pumping conditions. The higher velocities are causing pipes to shake and has reduced the treatment capacity of the belt filter presses. The belt filter presses cannot be fed at a higher speed (higher gallon per minute pumping rate) due to the reduction in volume caused by the struvite build up. The project with Arcadis includes two critical elements of the design phase. The first design project will include pipe replacement. The second design project will include a chemical feed system, mechanical piping (or tubing), electrical, and programmable logic control improvements for flow pacing volume and chemical feed distribution. Design Services Fee: $73,980.00 The Division of Wastewater has allocated funds from the Sewage Works Capital, Treatment & Disposal Fund 642-06-605-514-442005 for this project. Contact Jacob M. Klosinski at the Division of Engineering at Ext. 9496 for questions regarding this project.

At typical dewatering influent solids concentrations of approximately 2.3%, this equates to a hydraulic throughput rating of approximately 140 gpm. South Bend O&M staff have reported concerns with operating the BFPs above 80-85 gpm, due to concerns with the structural integrity of the feed piping. At flows above 80-85 gpm, the pipes will noticeably shake. It is not recommended to operate the BFP feed piping with constant shaking because it will damage the structural supports of the piping, lead to leaking piping joints/seals and ultimately damage the piping. South Bend dismantled portions of the influent piping and observed a significant build-up of what appears to be struvite in the piping. This build-up limits the cross-sectional area of piping that solids flow through to the BFP’s, which increases the velocity in the piping as well as headloss that the feed pumps must overcome – potentially causing the observable shaking. This dewatering capacity limitation is a bottleneck that reverberates through the rest of the WWTP, as solids can’t be removed quick enough from digesters, which in turns means that new solids can’t be sent to digesters, resulting in excessive solids inventory in the aeration tanks. To mitigate this, the presses are run at lower flows for longer hours than originally intended, which has impacts on staffing as operator attention is required for the additional operational hours. Belt Filter Press Piping Improvements. To address this in the short-term, it is recommended that all BFP feed piping is removed and replaced with new ductile iron piping and supports. Alternatively, this piping could be cleaned to remove struvite scaling, but due to the age of the piping and the amount of labor required for an unclear result, a full replacement is preferred. The only piping that cannot be removed are wall / floor pipes and it is recommended that these are cleaned as thoroughly as possible with mechanical and/or chemical means. The piping replacement can be performed in phases to allows a minimum number of BFP’s to remain online. The opinion of probable construction cost for such a BFP Piping Replacement project is approximately $250,000, which provides various bidding options as discussed below. Struvite Control Improvements. To address struvite build-up in the long-term, it is recommended that a chemical feed system be added to mitigate the likelihood that struvite build-up will occur in significant quantities. Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate, MgNH4PO4‐6H2O) is a crystalline material consisting of equimolar concentrations of magnesium (Mg2+), ammonium (NH4+), and ortho‐phosphate (PO43- or OP). Struvite precipitates when available concentrations of these three exceed the struvite solubility limit, which is highly dependent upon pH. It is often an operation and maintenance nuisance in post-digestion processes for facilities that utilize anaerobic digestion, as it will often form deposits in pipes and on dewatering equipment, particularly at locations where CO2 is released and changes in pH occur – such as piping bends, pressure drops, etc. arcadis.com Page: 2/6 The most common method of struvite mitigation is to add ferric chloride to the digester or digestate flows. This method relies on precipitating the soluble phosphorus (OP), so that the “struvite trifecta” as discussed above, is not present. Ferric chloride addition will increase the amount of solids yield in the dewatering process, as it precipitates an iron phosphate complex. Magnesium Hydroxide addition will also be evaluated. This method requires an extra tank for the chemical addition and can cause a significant increase in alkalinity and is generally a less suitable and more complex solution than ferric chloride addition. “Dispersant” polymers inhibit the formation of struvite, but do not remove any of three struvite forming chemicals. This can result in the need to increase ferric chloride use upstream (in the aeration tank or primary clarifiers) because OP does not leave the system with solids in this scenario as it does with ferric chloride addition. Dispersant polymers will not be evaluated. It is anticipated that the opinion of probable construction cost for such a Struvite Chemical System Prevention project will be less than $300,000, which provides various bidding options as discussed below. Arcadis will prepare a basis of design, design drawings and specifications for the BFP Piping Replacement project and the Struvite Chemical System Prevention project. The City will bid the each project separately without requiring public bidding due to the estimated construction cost being less than $300,000 each. Arcadis will also perform construction administration services. The City will perform construction inspection. A SharePoint site will be established for use during design. Arcadis will rely on record drawings and a field verification site visit. The Struvite Chemical System Prevention project assumes that the existing ferric chloride building and existing ferric chloride storage tanks do not require modification, and that dosing can occur at the digester feed pumps on the east side of the plant near the existing ferric chloride pump system. The design assumes one new ferric chloride dosing pump with associated piping to dose ferric chloride to the digester feed pumps. Should more improvements be required for struvite control following further evaluation, this will be discussed and optional services can be provided. The scope of engineering services shall include the following: 1. Project Management. Provide project management including scope, budget and schedule control; project coordination; maintenance of records; project setup, invoicing, and close-out. 2. Kick-off and Design Review Meetings. Meet with the City to kick-off the project including a site visit to perform initial above-ground field investigations.
