ACTION REQUEST
Seeking Commission approval of Purchase of Pumping Equipment for Moses Lake Stormwater Pump Station
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
On February 27, 2025, the City of Texas City received one (1) bid for the above-referenced project. This project involves the purchase of four (4) engine-driven stormwater pumps and four (4) diesel engines, and accessories. These pumps will aid in moving stormwater from Moses Lake back into Galveston Bay while the floodgate is closed during tropical systems or heavy rain events. In doing so, this will greatly reduce the risk of flooding, whereas currently, we are limited to the existing capacity of Moses Lake with the floodgate closed. The proposed pumping equipment is very specialized, in that the pumps are of a very high capacity, and are driven by a direct-drive, engine-driven shaft rather than driven by an electric motor. For that reason, IPS Pump Services, Inc. was the sole bidder. For more details about the bid, please see (Exhibit A)
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Public Works Department to consider and approve this item.
