REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: August 12 991 _ R Requested By: Steve Gillett Department: ..,-Public Works XXX Report Resolution Exhibits: Memorandum from Steve Gillett SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Ordinance One of the main lift pumps in the wastewater treatment plant failed on July 10, 1991. All -Pump Company, the authorized repair facility for Hydromatic Pumps in this area, was contacted for disassembly and repair estimates. A quote of eight thousand, nine hundred and eighty-five dollars ($8,985.00) was submitted for the necessary repairs to the pump. The cost of a new pump would be approximately $14,500.00 with a six (6) week delivery time. The delivery time required on a new pump does not make this a viable option. The loss of the pump is not critical to operations during normal operating conditions; however, during periods of wet weather, it would be difficult to keep the flows in the influent sewer mains at a level to prevent overflows and backups elsewhere in the sewer system. Due to the current wet weather pattern and it being hurricane season, a decision was made to authorize All -Pump Company to proceed with repairs at a cost of $8,985.00. The pump was repaired and placed back in service on July 26, 1991. Staff recommends authorization for emergency repairs to the pump in an amount of eight thousand, nine hundred and eighty-five dollars ($8,985.00) Funds for this repair are available in the Wastewater Treatment Division's Operating Budget. Action Required by Council: Authorize emergency repairs to one of the main lift pumps at the wastewater treatment plant by All -Pump Company in the amount of $8,985.00.
