Title
131st Street Lift Station Pump Impeller Replacement Project - Proposal
History
The 131st Street Sanitary Lift Station is located at 10000 Creek Road in unincorporated Palos Township. The pumps at the station have been in operation for over fifteen (15) years and are showing significant signs of wear. The impellers on each of the three pumps were found to have excessive wear resulting in decreased capacity and efficiency.
The pump manufacturer’s representative (Gasvoda & Associates, Inc. (GAI) of Calumet City, Illinois) was asked to provide impeller replacement costs for the three (3) pumps in the station. The total cost for the project was submitted at $11,160 (copy attached).
On February 18, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds for this replacement were rolled over from Fiscal Year 2012. In the water fund.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from Gasvoda & Associates, Inc. (GAI) of Calumet City, Illinois, for the purchase and installation of impellers on three (3) pumps at the 131st Street Lift Station at a cost not to exceed $11,160.
