ITEM:
Discussion on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a new 70hp 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, 100hp 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 and currently it has increased to $17,000.00 per event, we currently have 3 pumps at subject location. Wastewater staff is looking for alternative pump brands that will provide efficiency, energy saving 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 new 70hp Flygt sewer pump, we will be saving on electricity, 30hp 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 vendor.
