Title
Seton Place Lift Station Pump #2 Replacement - Proposal
History
On March 11, 2015, Pump #2, one of two pumps at the Seton Place Lift Station, failed. This 15-horsepower submersible pump was sent to the authorized service representative, Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., of Calumet City, Illinois, for repair. Itemized repairs would require a new motor, impeller, bolt and washer, volute, lower seal plate housing and a complete overhaul kit. Based on historic repair experience, staff concluded that the repairs would exceed the cost of a new pump. Staff recommends purchasing a new pump along with a warranty. The cost to purchase a new pump is $6,471.00. Based on the above, attached is the replacement pump proposal for your review and consideration.
On May 4, 2015, 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 emergency replacement. Sufficient funds exist in the machinery and equipment account 031-6003-461700 to cover the cost.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve to accept the proposal from Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., of Calumet City, Illinois, for the purchase of a 15-horsepower replacement pump for the Seton Place Lift Station in an amount not-to-exceed $6,471.00.
