Title

151^st Street Lift Station Variable Frequency Drive #2 - Emergency Purchase / Installation

History

On August 3rd, 2016, the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) #2, at the 151^st Street Lift Station, failed. This Variable Frequency Drive, one of three drives, was evaluated by an authorized service representative, Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., of Calumet City, Illinois. 

Per the attached proposal from Gasvoda & Associates, the 151^st Street Lift Station requires a new VFD Danfoss VLT 8100 Drive, the current drive installed is obsolete and cannot be repaired. The total cost of the Variable Frequency Drive is $9,906.00. The cost includes purchasing the drive, removal of the existing drive, installation, programing, and start up. Gasvoda & Associates is our local vender and has the programing parameters required for installation.  Staff recommends purchasing the new drive and installation through Gasvoda & Associates.

Due to the emergency nature and necessary timeliness of installation, this item was purchased and is scheduled to be installed October 7th.

On October 3, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.

Financial Impact

This is a non-budgeted item; funding will come from a budget transfer of contingency funds into account #031-6003-461700.

Recommended Action/Motion

I move to approve the 151^st Street Lift Station Variable Frequency Drive #2 -Emergency Purchase and Installation from Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., of Calumet City, Illinois, for an amount not to exceed $9,906.00.
