SUBJECT:

Res 25-31 Approve Purchase of Flow Meters from William/Reid, a Division of Gasvoda & Associates, for Contract 24-17 Water Filtration Plant Ozone Equipment Installation ($76,177.67)

BACKGROUND

On November 20, 2024, the Department of Public Works (Department) requested a quote for flow meters for the Water Filtration Plant (WFP) ozone equipment installation from William/Reid, a division of Gasvoda & Associates, Inc. These flow meters are necessary for the operation of the new ozone equipment and must be functional early in the Ozone Equipment Installation Contract to allow the Department to correctly measure flow to dose ozone during low flow conditions. Currently, there is not an accurate way to measure flow of the ozone system. The quote includes installation and technical assistance to ensure accuracy.

ANALYSIS

William/Reid was contacted to provide this quote due to their experience and success in installing flow meters at difficult locations and providing product support to ensure accurate data.

FISCAL IMPACT

The total fiscal impact of the flow meter purchase will be $76,177.67. This purchase will be funded from Account #03221810-7204-65006/Water Capital Fund-Machinery & Equipment-WFP – Ozone Residual Mntr Replcmnt.

RECOMMENDATION

Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a specialized nature may be procured without the use of formal, sealed quotes. I have reviewed this quote and, in accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby recommending the Common Council approve this purchase.
