Title
4-Inch Auto Prime Trash Pump Replacement - Purchase
History
Funds are budgeted for the purchase of one (1) replacement 4” Auto Prime Trash Pump for the Public Works Department, Utilities Division. The new pump will replace an existing 1972 4” pump and minimize the need for future pump rentals during emergency situations. Legal notice was provided through the Daily SouthTown newspaper on July 15, 2015. One (1) sealed bid from Xylem Dewatering Solutions, Inc., of Lansing Illinois was received and opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Wednesday, July 29, 2015. After careful review of the submitted bid it was determined that the pump proposed did have some variances to the specifications as written, however after a product demonstration staff has determined it to be acceptable and fit the needs of the organization.
Staff recommends the purchase of one (1) 2015 Godwin CD103M at a cost of $31,159.00 and to purchase the following optional items; One (1) 6” Male X 4” Flange Quick Disconnect Fitting at $288.40, One (1) 6” Female X 4” Flange Quick Disconnect Fitting at $251.60, One (1) Male Quick Disconnect large Hole Steel Suction Screen at $259.20. The pump along with the listed option is a total purchase cost of $31,958.20. Xylem can deliver the pump and fittings in 3-4 weeks after receipt of order.
On September 8, 2015, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
