' • • <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />T0: Robert T H~rera, City Manager <br />Ott Director of Public Works <br />FROM: Ste ~ , <br />DATE: July 17, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: Well Motor Repairs <br />As I informed City Council July 5, 1989, the motor on #1 <br />Well was damaged during the storm on June 2b, 1989. There was <br />severe damage to the motor caused by an apparent direct lightning <br />strike. The motor was removed and taken to Westinghouse for <br />inspection and a cost estimate for repairs. <br />The estimated repair cost is approximately Three Thousand <br />Five Xundred Dollars ($3,500.00). This includes the inspection <br />fee, complete rewind, bearing replacement, and balancing. The <br />approximate replacement cost of this motor is Ten Thousand <br />Dollars ($10,000.00). <br />Due to the problems with the well #2 motor and auxiliary, we <br />feel it is critical to move forward as fast as possible with <br />repairs to the #1 motor. We request that an emergency be <br />declared and repairs be authorized in an amount not to exceed <br />Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000.00). Funds are available in the <br />Water/Wastewater Operating Budget for this repair. <br />It is our intention to place this item before the City <br />Council at the July 24, 1989 regular meeting. <br />SG:ke <br />
