FISCAL IMPACT
The Booster 11 Generator Replacement CIP Project (60047) was approved by Council in the Capital Improvement Plan with a project budget of $1,920,200 in Water operating funds. $351,446 have already been allocated for the design phase. We are currently requesting approval up to the remaining project balance of $1,568,560 for the equipment and installation.
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
Per City of Goodyear Resolution 08-1255, all expenditures of budgeted funds in excess of $500,000 must obtain Council approval. The city has developed and approved a Capital Improvement Program for FY2022 through FY2026. The existing generator replacement at the Booster Site 11 is planned to be replaced in FY2022 per this plan.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Per the approved CIP, the generator at Booster Site 11 which includes the Bullard Water Reverse Osmosis Treatment Facilities is planned to be replaced in FY2022 due to the age of the unit. These facilities are critical to the operations of the production and treatment systems in order to supply potable water at required pressures to meet the daily demands of our customers.
