Title
Seton Place Lift Station Pump #1 Replacement - Board Approval
History
On March 11, 2009, Pump #1 of the two pumps at the Seton Place Lift Station failed. This 15 horsepower submersible pump was sent to Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., of Calumet City, Illinois (the authorized service representative), for evaluation. Upon the inspection of Pump #1, which was previously rebuilt in 2001, it was found not to be cost effective to repair. The cost of a new pump is $6,149.
Due to the time delay in obtaining a new pump and the importance of having two functional pumps at the station, the replacement was ordered immediately.
On April 13, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED AS PART OF THE APRIL 13, 2009, PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING COMMITTEE PACKET.
Financial Impact
This is a non-budgeted emergency repair. There is a Board approved Contingency Fund (Account #031-6001-433.84-95) for this type of work. Funds in the amount of $6,149 will need to be transferred from this account to Machinery and Equipment Parts (Account #031-6003-433.61-70).
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the transfer of $6,149 from the Contingency Account to the Machinery and Equipment Parts Account;
And
Approve payment to 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 $6,149.
