However, Robert Forman, the regional director for Solid Waste Management, said, “No sludge” at that near capacity, privately owned and operated dump.

An initial soliciation of septage haulers brought no bidders on the Sperryville job; a second round found Rosebud and an apparent solution to both the septage and sludge disposal dilemma.

Another problem was also resolved at the November WSA meeting, as the Authority reached a compromise with Perry Engineering on the dispute over contractual obligations regarding the completion date of work on the sewage treatment plant.

The WSA had withheld $25,500 in “liquidated damages,” alleging that the engineering company had failed to meet the Jan. 5, 1986, completion date for work at the plant. With the threat of going to arbitration if the money wasn’t released and the contention that (1) the plant was ready to receive effluent well before the final inspection for “substantial compliance” and (2) the Authority had incurred no damage due to the delay, the WSA settled on an eight-day overrun and paid Perry Engineering all but $7,600.
