A. The Project is at the Blue River Primary Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), located at 7300 Hawthorne Road in Kansas City, Missouri and the Birmingham Land Application Site (BLAS) located at 10801 NE 28th Street in Kansas City, Missouri and is adjacent to the Birmingham WWTP. B. The City of Kansas City Water Services Department (City) is in the process of upgrading its Blue River WWTP to include a thermal hydrolysis process (THP), which will enable the Blue River WWTP to produce Class A Biosolids and increase biogas production. C. Initially Class B biosolids will be produced, and then Class A biosolids will be produced at the Blue River WWTP. Biosolids will be dewatered using centrifuges post-THP, with concentrated cake being conveyed to truck loadout stations. D. The City will utilize land application as the primary disposal mechanism for biosolids. The City currently does not have an alternative plan for Class A biosolids; however, through the duration of this Project, one may be developed. 1. Initially, the City will utilize land application as the primary disposal mechanism for biosolids. 2. The City endeavors to create beneficial use opportunities for Class A Biosolids in a future contract which will redirect biosolids from land application. E. The City may request the lime stabilization of unstabilized sludge as part of this contract due to planned or unexpected equipment outages. F. Additional sludge generated at the Birmingham WWTP and other WWTP’s operated by the City will also be treated as part of this Project. G. The Work to be performed by the Contractor under this section covers complete responsibility for receiving biosolids (sludge), lime stabilization (if needed), transportation, storage, and off-site land application of Class A and B Biosolids. H. The City does not anticipate any permanent facilities being put in place to facilitate this work.
