ITEM:
Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a new 70 horse power FLYGT sewer pump for Lift Station 300 for Public Works Department, Wastewater Division. (Manuel Rojas, Assistant Public Works Director)
SUMMARY:
During the upgrade of Lift Station 300, the 100 horse power Vaughn sewer pumps were installed. Over the years, staff has been repairing the sewer pumps every 2-3 years with an initial cost of $12,000.00 and currently it has increased to $17,000.00 per event. We currently have three (3) pumps at subject location, two (2) Vaughn pumps and one (1) FLYGT pump. Wastewater staff is continually looking for alternative pump brands that will provide efficiency, energy savings and minimized maintenance costs. In our collection system, we have several FLYGT sewer pumps, they have been working trouble free, other than general maintenance. With the installation of a second 70 horse power FLYGT sewer pump, we will be saving on electricity, 30 horse power pump difference due to design, hardened iron impeller/ring, and maintenance costs. Staff recommends the purchase of new FLYGT sewer pump for Lift Station 300. This is a sole-source purchase via James Cooke and Hobson, Inc. Under San Luis City Code-Purchasing Section 36.02 when, as in this purchase, there is only one provider, bidding is not required. Staff recommends purchase at the quoted price of $45,273.17.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
Discussion and possible directions to staff only, no action.
