Subject:
The Black River WWTP is requesting approval for an emergency purchase order to cover the cost of renting a 12” backup portable pump from Ohio CAT. The rental was necessary due to forecasted heavy rainfall while two of the five headworks pumps were out of service. Given the anticipated weather conditions, I felt it was necessary to secure a backup pump to help ensure the plant did not experience flooding. One of the pumps has since been repaired, bringing us back to four operational pumps, with a new fifth pump expected to arrive within the coming weeks. The total cost for the rental was $8,557.44. Funding for this emergency request will be provided from Account: 6130.P613.6310.6700.1500. Facility Improvement.
