Notification of emergency purchase of an odor control system for President Street Bio-Solids Facility in the amount of $118,449.00.  The nature of the emergency is due to the unanticipated odor resulting from sludge precipitates from the new Bio-Solids program initiated by the City of Savannah.  This is an interim solution to serve until a permanent solution is installed during the first quarter of 2020.  Staff estimates that hauling wet bio-solids to the landfill costs the City $45,000 per month.  This emergency procurement will reduce the amount of wet material required to be hauled to the landfill by 85%, thus saving the city approximately $38,250 per month.
