ISSUE STATEMENT

 

A resolution authorizing the Mayor to accept a proposal from Omni Pump Repairs for the City’s water system in an amount not to exceed $15,800.00 to re-build internal critical components of three pumps at Plant Two-1220 Plainfield Road.

 

RESOLUTION

 

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

 

The proposed expenditure is for the maintenance of the City’s water variable speed water pumps. The pumps are independent inline components of the water system utilized to deliver potable water to maintain pressures. The pumps maintain lubrication through the City’s water system and are inspected on a daily basis. The visual inspection consists of water that should be “dripping” at both pump bearings. Through normal wear and tear the bearings become worn and the “dripping” develops into a “stream” indicating that the pumps require servicing. The pumps were installed in 1992 and have not been re-built since. 

 

Staff is requesting a contingency amount not to exceed $5,000 for internal parts or machining if required.

 

The City has requested competitive quotes for the rebuilding of the two forty horsepower pumps, and has received four responses.
