To resolve this concern, staff recommends the purchase and installation ofa Lift Station Odor Control Unit at a cost of $25,000.00. In -Pipe Technology is the sole source provider that completely treats noxious gases (including hydrogen sulfide). Other comparable systems in the industry require monthly to quarterly replacement of costly treatment media while the recommended unit only requires maintenance every 14 months (10,000 Hours). fkkann[al Imp t: This purchase will be funded through the Sewer Division Machinery and Equipment Account - 35-535640, which has $120,000 available, inchuding $25,000 budgeted for this purpose. Proposed Action:, Staff recommends the City Commission approve the purchase of a, AOP-16 Lift Station Odor Control unit at a cost of $25,000.00. Attachment: 1. Agenda 2. Sale Quotation 3. Sole Source Letter a IN -PIPE T`CHNOLcI::c3'' PROPOSAL To: City of Opa-locka Advanced Oxidation Process Lift Station Odor Control Unit (AOP-16) LS 11A Date: October 23, 2023 Proposal Number 2023-WA99 IN —PIPE Because Efficiency Counts TECHNOLOGY Lift Station Odor Control In -Pipe Technology (IPT) is pleased to present this proposal for the capital purchase of our AOP- 16 Lift Station Odor Control unit. The unit uses photohydroionization (PHI) to produce safe, environmentally friendly hydroxide ions that are very efficient at oxidizing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to reduce odor problems from lift station wet wells. Via the venturi effect created by an airflow eductor, negative pressure is created in the headspace of the wet well to slowly draw hazardous gases from the wet well and oxidize them inside of the unit itself. Please see the attached equipment cut sheet and specification for details on the unit's benefits and operation. In general, an average of 80-95% reduction in H2S gases can be achieved. For stricter control of H2S emissions requiring either 100% removal or less than 5 parts per million (ppm), small amounts of activated carbon (less than 1-2 Ibs total) can be added to the exhaust of the AOP- 16. This proposal will outline the costs of our unit if purchased. The AOP-16 is meant for continuous operation. Maintenance of the AOP-16 should be performed every 10,000 hours or every 14 months. In general, maintenance involves replacing the (6) PHI (UV) light cells, and ensuring other components are operating as intended (and replaced as needed). If the unit is left installed and not operational, there is a significant risk of damage and corrosion to the internal PHI mechanisms from exposure to H2S. Please see below for a schedule of maintenance options available. Summary of Scope • The supply of one (1) AOP-16 Lift Station Odor Control Unit at lift station 11A, including all required piping. 725 N. Central Avenue • Wood Dale IL 60191 • (630) 509-2488 • in-pipe.com IN -PIPE Because Efficiency Counts FECHNOLOSsf' • Installation of the unit to the lift station exhaust valve. The exhaust valve must be detached of any other equipment prior to installation. • Electrical hookup to 110v MUST be performed by the City or a county -approved licensed contractor. • Sufficient space on a concrete pad must be provided by the City Available Maintenance Services Maintenance can be performed by City personnel (maintenance manual to be provided upon installation). Alternately IPT can perform the following services (prices are per unit): • Full Service - $500/month. This includes a full replacement of all parts (as identified on our parts list) every 10,000 hours, monthly inspection on the unit and the monthly replacement of any optional additional carbon as required. • Full Service Plus $1,500/month. We will continuously monitor via H2S Acrulog (which remains our property) and fully replace the parts (as identified on our parts list) every 10,000 hours. Includes a monthly inspection on the unit, monthly replacement of carbon filters (if selected), and monthly reporting of H2S levels at the exhaust of the unit. • Monthly Inspection and Carbon Filter Replacement - $300/month. We will inspect the unit monthly and notify the customer if/when the unit requires maintenance — we also will replace the carbon (if using) monthly. • One Time Service (recommended every 10,000 hours/14 months of operation) - $4,000. We will replace all 6 PHI cells and any other parts as necessary (provided the unit has not corroded due to H2S gasses allowed in due to the unit being inoperative) and ensure the unit is ready for an additional 10,000 hours of operation. • Replacement Activated Carbon and filter bags- $500/501b box. • Complete replacement of internal PHI unit - $7,500 (e.g. if unit is left installed inoperative and is corroded due to exposure to H2S gasses for a prolonged period of time) 725 N.

The Ozone produced is a safe low concentration, produced by a targeted high intensity UV light technology. This method is far safer than the traditional ozone generators. Targeted UV ozone generators do not produce nitric oxide gas or nitric acid and they have a very high efficiency rating. The additional oxidizers provide a broader range of applications and redundant oxidation gases. All gases are very aggressive friendly gaseous oxidizers.
