CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER -DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM <br />July 26, 1991 <br />TO: e t T. Herrera, City Manager <br />FROM: _ _ Gillett, Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Emergency Repairs to Lift Pump at Wastewater Treatment <br />Plant <br />As reported earlier to you, one of the main lift pumps at the <br />wastewater treatment plant failed on July 10, 1991. This pump is <br />not critical during periods of normal operation. However, during <br />wet weather a problem could develop in keeping the incoming main <br />line flows at a level to prevent overflows and backups elsewhere <br />in the sewer system. <br />The pump was removed by plant personnel and sent to All -Pump and <br />Equipment Company for disassembly and repair estimates on July <br />11, 1991. :Major internal problems were found and a quote of <br />eight thousand, nine hundred and eighty-five dollars ($3,93-7.00) <br />was given for repair. This company is the authorized Hydromati,_ <br />Pump repair facility in this area for the manufacturer, .American <br />Pump Company. <br />Due to the <br />current wet <br />weather pattern and being in hurricane <br />season, a decision was made <br />on July 17, 1991 to <br />authorize repair <br />to the lift <br />pump in an <br />amount not to exceed <br />$3,985.00. The <br />repair of the pump should <br />take approximately <br />one week and tl1e <br />pump should <br />be back in <br />service by July 29, <br />1991. The pump <br />repairs will <br />be taken to <br />City Council at the nett regular meeting <br />on August 12, <br />1991. <br />Should you desire further information or have any questions, <br />please contact me. <br />SG; bj <br />xr_: John Joerns, Assistant City Manager <br />Curtis Herrod, Utility Superintendent <br />
