BackgroundInformation
Theexistinganaerobicdigesterswerebothconstructedaspartofthe1982projectthat

SteelCovers

Re: Proposal to Amend the Engineering Services Agreement for Design, Bidding, and Construction of
Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) Phosphorus Reduction Improvements to Include
Anaerobic Digester Improvements
City of Monticello, MN
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council:
WSB & Associates, Inc. (WSB) is pleased to present this proposal for professional engineering services as
they relate to amending the Facility Plan and adding the design, bidding, and construction of anaerobic
digester improvements to the phosphorus reduction improvements. The proposed scope of services
presented in this proposal is based on our discussions with City staff, Veolia staff, and the following
project understanding.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Anaerobic Digester Improvements
Secondary Digester Cover
The secondary digester cover is a steel, floating cover that was installed in 1993. The cover was
rehabilitated nine years ago by patching, sandblasting and painting. In late July, the cover sank. Inspection
revealed that the space (attic area) between the ceiling plates and roof plates of the cover had filled with
biosolids through holes in the ceiling plates. The additional weight of the biosolids in the attic area caused
the cover to lose buoyancy.
The biosolids were removed from the attic area. The digester was emptied and the cover inspected from the
interior. Inspection revealed extensive corrosion of the ceiling plates and the truss support system in the
attic area. Ultrasonic thickness testing of the ceiling plates indicated that in some areas over ½ of the
original steel section (1/4” thick) has corroded away. Approximately 25 holes in the ceiling plates were
patched with 13 patch plates. Some of the plates covered a single hole and others covered multiple holes.
Welding the patch plates to the ceiling plates proved to be difficult because the heat generated by the
welding operation literally burned through the thin steel remaining in the plates.
Although the secondary digester is now back in service, the repairs made should be considered temporary
in nature and the cover should be replaced in the near future. Further rehabilitation is not practical and
would not be cost-effective.
Primary Digester Cover
The primary digester cover is also a steel, floating cover. It was installed in 1995, but has not failed to this
point. Unlike the secondary digester cover, it has never been rehabilitated. Although it is two years newer
Honorable Mayor and City Council
September 22, 2014

K:\01494-730\Admin\Docs\Agenda Items\092214 Digesters\LTR PROP-09172014 TAR Final Digester Contract Amendment-hmcc-09222014.doc
than the secondary digester cover and has not failed, it is subject to the same severe environment as the
secondary digester cover. Considering the environment it has been subjected to, the fact that it has never
been rehabilitated and is approaching 20 years old, it is reasonable to expect that it, too, is in poor
condition and replacement should be considered.
650,000 Gallon Storage Tank
The 650,000 gallon storage tank was used to store biosolids following anaerobic digestion between the
spring and fall land application of biosolids. However, now that the biosolids are being dewatered and
landfilled, the only purpose of the storage tank is for emergency storage should the screw press fail or
when it has be taken out of service for overhaul.
The Facility Plan completed for the phosphorus reduction improvements concluded that chemical addition
was the cost-effective approach to removing the additional phosphorus required by the re-issued NPDES
permit for the WWTF. Chemical addition will increase the volume of biosolids by 20 to 30% due to both
additional total suspended solids removal and chemical solids production. This additional biosolids
production will reduce the hydraulic retention time (HRT) in the existing anaerobic digesters and their
efficiency in destroying volatile solids. Volatile solids are the organic compounds in the biosolids. Volatile
solids destruction is the conversion of these organic compounds to water, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
The purpose of anaerobic digestion is to reduce the volume of biosolids that have to be dewatered, hauled
and landfilled.
WSB is recommending that conversion of the 650,000 gallon storage tank into a secondary anaerobic
digester be evaluated in the Preliminary Design phase that will be discussed below. The evaluation will
estimate the cost of converting it into a digester and compare it with the cost savings of a lesser volume of
biosolids to be processed. Reducing the volume of biosolids to be processed will result in a cost savings for
each of the following:
Operator time to operate the screw press
Electric usage to operate the screw press
Polymer usage in the screw press
Biosolids hauling cost
Biosolids landfilling cost
Facility Plan Amendment
The Public Facilities Authority (PFA) administers the Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund. Low interest
loans are made from that fund for WWTF improvements. WSB contacted the PFA regarding the
possibility of a low interest loan for Monticello’s WWTF improvements. They indicated an interest rate of
between 1 and 2% with a probable rate of approximately 1-1/2%. The City sold general obligation (GO)
revenue bonds for the Phase 1 improvements that carried an interest rate of approximately 3%. Therefore, a
PFA loan would reduce interest rate by approximately 50%.WSB filed an Intended Use Plan (IUP)
placement request on behalf of the City. The City is now on the fiscal year (FY) 2015 IUP for a low
interest loan. It should be noted that placement on the IUP does not obligate the City to take out a loan
through the PFA. The City can turn down any part or all of the loan request and bond for the
improvements instead.
The PFA also administers the Point Source Implementation Grant (PSIG) program which makes 50%
matching grants for phosphorus reduction improvements. WSB filed a PSIG application on behalf of the
City. The City is now on the PSIG list for a $580,000 grant which will help to defray the cost of the
phosphorus reduction improvements.
Honorable Mayor and City Council

K:\01494-730\Admin\Docs\Agenda Items\092214 Digesters\LTR PROP-09172014 TAR Final Digester Contract Amendment-hmcc-09222014.doc
Both the PFA loan and PSIG programs require a Facility Plan. For the anaerobic digester improvements to
be eligible for a PFA loan, the Facility Plan completed for the phosphorus reduction improvements must be
amended to include the anaerobic digester improvements. The Facility Plan amendment will be completed
in conjunction with the Preliminary Design phase discussed below.
PROJECT APPROACH/SCOPE OF SERVICES
WSB’s project scope and proposed work plan are based on our understanding of the project, discussions
with City staff, Veolia staff, and experience on similar projects. The work plan has been separated into key
components which are discussed below:
1. Project Management and Coordination
1.1 Project Management
Project management is a key task included in each phase of the project. For each phase, this task
consists of management and administration, project coordination and communication with the City
of Monticello. Additional work included as part of this task involves attending meetings with City
staff, WSB, subconsultants of WSB, and Veolia staff, as well as City Council meetings for
acceptance of the plans and specifications, authorization to bid the project, and award of the
contract. Proper completion of this task will allow for open lines of communication and routine
updates on project issues, as well as keeping the project on schedule and within budget.
2. Anaerobic Digester Improvements
2.1 Facility Plan Amendment and Preliminary Design
Facility Plan Amendment
As noted in Project Understanding, a Facility Plan amendment must be completed for the
anaerobic digester improvements to make them eligible for a low interest PFA loan. WSB will
complete the Facility Plan amendment and assist the City with the public hearing required for the
amendment.
Preliminary Design
Primary and Secondary Digester Cover Replacement
During the preliminary design phase, WSB will evaluate replacing the digester covers with new
steel covers, as well as, alternative membrane covers. The advantage of membrane covers is that
corrosion and re-painting are eliminated. However, the membrane covers require a blower to keep
the cover air-supported. Construction cost estimates will be prepared for both types of cover, as
well as, operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. The type of cover with the lowest life-cycle cost
(construction cost plus O&M cost) will be then be recommended and designed.
650,000 Gallon Storage Tank
During the preliminary design phase, conversion of the tank into a secondary digester will be
evaluated. The cost of conversion will be compared to the cost savings for reductions of the
following items as the result of improved biosolids digestion:
Operator time to operate the screw press
Electric consumption to operate the screw press
Polymer usage in the screw press
Honorable Mayor and City Council
September 22, 2014

K:\01494-730\Admin\Docs\Agenda Items\092214 Digesters\LTR PROP-09172014 TAR Final Digester Contract Amendment-hmcc-09222014.doc
Biosolids hauling cost
Biosolids landfilling cost
If the evaluation shows a cost savings for these items greater than the cost of converting the
650,000 gallon tank into a secondary digester, WSB will then design the conversion of the
650,000 gallon storage tank into a secondary digester.
Note:
The anaerobic digester improvements will be constructed in conjunction with the phosphorus
reduction improvements in a single construction contract. Tasks 2.2 through 2.6 below are
the same tasks that will be performed for the phosphorus reduction improvements. These tasks will
simply be extended to both elements of the project.

Re: Waste Water Treatment Facility Secondary Digester Cover and Primary Digester
Mixer Repairs
Monticello, MN
Dear Tom,
Per your request, I have determined pricing to clean, inspect, and repair the digester
cover and to remove and replace the mixer. We currently have a hole in our schedule
this summer that this work would fill nicely. If we can get started right away we will
discount our labor from $85.00/hr to $75.00/hr. The Standard contractor fees will apply
to all work that is completed. This work has too many unknowns to provide a firm price,
so I have determined budget pricing and we will bill this out as time and material. These
budget numbers are our best estimates of the cost of the work, actual costs may vary.
Digester Cover
Cleaning the attic of the cover
This is the breakdown of the expected costs to clean out the attic space in the cover
of the secondary digester. The City will supply the vac truck and pump truck at no
cost and MBI will work with the city crew to use the vac truck and pump truck from
the WWTF. Our crew will suck the sludge out of the secondary digester cover and
into your vac truck. From there it will go into the pump truck and be pumped to the
primary digester. At this time we will also suck the remaining sludge from the bottom
of the tank so it is ready for scaffolding. The following is a budget; the final price will
be determined by the actual cost of the work based on these rates.
Labor
$85.00/ hr $75.00/ Man Hour
- Budget $9,000.00 to $18,000.00
Possible Equipment Rents
Pressure Washer $35.00/Hr
Other Rental and Small Tools as Needed.
Cleaning the Attic Budget: $9,000.00 to $18,000.00
Scaffolding
This is the breakdown of the work and materials to pick up the scaffold, bring it to the
site, lower everything into the tank with a crane, and set it up. Once inspection and
repairs are complete this estimate covers removing the scaffold, pulling it out of the
tank, and returning it. The following is a budget; the final price will be determined by
the actual cost of the work based on these rates.
Labor
$85.00/ hr $75.00/ Man Hour - Budget $8,000.00 to $14,000.00
Equipment Rents
Systems Scaffold (28 days) - Budget $3,000.00
Truck/ Trailer (pick up & return) $60/ Hr - Budget $400.00
Subcontractor
A&B Crane Service -Budget $1,680.00
Scaffolding Budget $13,080.00 to $19,080.00
Ceiling Investigation and Repair
This is the breakdown of the work once the scaffolding is set up for MBI to clean test
areas on the ceiling for the testing company to do ultrasonic testing. The frequency
and location of these tests will need to be directed by the engineer. Once the testing
is done it can be determined the extent of the damage and the work required to
make the repairs. The testing company could be hired directly by the city and
removed from our work. The following is a budget; the final price will be determined
by the actual cost of the work based on these rates.

6. Consideration of a request for appeal of Administrative Decision as related to
application of Monticello Zoning Ordinance Chapter 4, Section 2 - Tree
Protection. (AS)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The Monticello Planning Commission, acting as the Board of Adjustment and
Appeals, is asked to consider an appeal of an Administrative Decision made by the
Community Development Department as related to the application of zoning
regulations pertaining to tree protection, Chapter 4, Section 2 – Tree Protection.
Specifically, the appeal is of the determination that a subject tree does not meet the
required 36” diameter at breast height (DBH), which is the required measurement for
consideration as a “specimen tree” as defined by the zoning ordinance. Chapter 4.2
regulations for tree protection, unless otherwise exempted, are applicable to those
trees considered as a “specimen tree”. A specimen tree is defined as “any canopy
tree with a DBH of 36 inches or more and any understory or ornamental tree with a
DBH of 10 inches or more that is not exempted as a specimen tree by this
ordinance”.
The subject tree, a silver maple, is located at the property line between 612 West 4th
Street and the recently approved Vine Street Place plat, proposed by Benoit
Properties, LLC. The Monticello Planning Commission considered the preliminary
plat of Vine Street Place on July 7th, holding a public hearing on that date for the
preliminary plat and variance request related to lot access. During the public hearing,
the property owners at 612 W. 4th Street, Brent and Lanette Aitchison, noted the
presence of a large tree at the rear of their property, at or near the property line. The
Planning Commission added a condition relating to considerations for tree protection
to their resolution recommending approval of the plat and approval of the variance.
Exact information on the tree size or its location was unknown at the time.
The City Council reviewed the preliminary and final plat on August 11th, 2014. The
presence of the tree was again noted as a concern by the Aitchison’s during
discussion on the plat. The approval condition relating to tree protection was carried
forward in the City Council resolution.
Subsequently, to address the required condition of approval relating to tree protection,
the applicant was requested by the City to provide definition as to the location and
size of the tree and recommended tree protection measures. Benoit Properties, LLC
Planning Commission Agenda – 12/02/14
2
consulted with Delwyn Colwill, a certified arborist with Tri-County Tree Service.
Mr. Colwill measured the tree at 34” and provided recommended protection
measures. This information was forwarded to the City. At 34”, the City’s ordinance
for tree protection is not applicable. However, the applicant would still be required to
prepare and provide tree protection measures to meet conditions of approval.
However, the Aitchison’s also hired an arborist to complete an evaluation of the tree.
Certified master arborist Faith Applequist of Tree Quality Inc. prepared a Tree Protection
Plan for the subject tree. During her evaluation, Ms. Applequist measured the tree at 38”
for purposes of DBH. Ms. Applequist’s report was also forwarded to the City by the
Aitchison’s attorney.
With the above information on the size of the tree supplied to the City, it was
recommended by the City Attorney that the City obtain an independent measurement of
diameter at breast height (DBH) for purposes of application of ordinance.
Mr. Manuel Jordan of Heritage Shade Tree Consultants was engaged by the City to
measure the subject tree and provide an explanation on the methodology of the
measurement. Heritage Shade Tree’s analysis yielded a measurement result of 34” DBH.
Northwest Associated Consultants, the City’s consulting planner, also reviewed this
analysis as related to the zoning ordinance and concurred. The Community Development
Department’s determination is therefore based on these analyses. Mr. Jordan will be in
attendance at the meeting.
The City’s zoning ordinance does not define diameter breast height (DBH). The appeal
information provided by the Aitchison’s, as well as the sources cited by both Heritage
Shade Tree Consulting and NAC, illustrate that measurement of diameter at breast height
is variable and can depend greatly on the tree being measured. While measurement at
4.5’ is a commonly cited height for this measurement, multiple sources cite that factors
individual to the tree and its site may require measurement at a different location on the
tree.
The Board of Adjustment and Appeals is therefore asked to evaluate the information
presented and decide on the appeal of the administrative decision for determination of
diameter breast height (DBH) for application of Chapter 4, Section 2 – Tree Protection to
the subject tree.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Motion to deny the appeal and affirm the determination by the Community
Development Department that Monticello Zoning Ordinance Chapter 4, Section 2
- Tree Protection is not applicable to the subject tree, based on findings as
follows:
a. Diameter at breast height is a variable measurement based on
characteristics of the tree being measured for ordinance.
Planning Commission Agenda – 12/02/14
3
b. The subject tree has been measured at 34” diameter breast height by the
City of Monticello’s consulting arborist, using commonly accepted and
practiced methodology.
c. The determination by the Community Development Department that the
tree is not a specimen tree is reasonable and supported by the record.
2. Motion to find Monticello Zoning Ordinance Chapter 4, Section 2 - Tree
Protection is applicable, based on findings to be made by the Board of Adjustment
and Appeals.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the information prepared by the City’s consulting arborist, Heritage Shade
Tree Consultants, the Community Development Department has determined the size
of the tree to be 34”, less than required for classification as a “specimen tree”. Staff
recommends that the appeal be denied.
Either side has the right to appeal the decision of the Board of Adjustment and
Appeals to the City Council.
It should be noted that the condition relating to tree protection measures is still
applicable to the plat per the approved resolution of the City Council. As such,
Benoit Properties, LLC will still be required to provide the surveyed location of the
tree, recommended tree protection measures, and implementation of those
recommended measures.

applied to all existing trees retained on a site that are not specimen trees that
comply with the credit standards of this subsection. Credits are offered only for
trees that are not required to be retained by other sections of this ordinance.
Credits shall be granted in accordance with the following standards:
(a) Credit Amount
A credit of one-and-one-quarter (1.25) multiplied by the aggregate caliper of
trees that are not specimen trees shall be credited and applied towards the
landscaping standards in Section 4.1, Landscaping and Screening, when the
trees that are saved comply with the following minimum size standards:
(i) Canopy Trees
Canopy trees, whether deciduous or evergreen, of seven inches in caliper
or greater, measured six inches above ground level.
(ii) Understory/Ornamental Trees
Understory or ornamental trees, whether deciduous or evergreen, of four
inches in caliper or greater, measured four inches above ground level.
(b) Credit Applied Towards Required Plantings
The credit shall be applied to the aggregate tree caliper inch standards for
