Title
151st Street Lift Station Emergency Repair - Proposal
History
During routine inspection at the 151st Street Lift Station, the Pump #1 motor end ball assembly (100 hp. motor) was found to be cracked. This station services approximately 20% of the Village - pumping 2.6 million gallons of sewage per day. To prevent a catastrophic failure, the pump was immediately taken out of service. The manufacturer’s representative, Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., of Calumet City, Illinois, was contacted and the part placed on order due to the expected long lead time. The part was replaced and reinstalled the week of May 17, 2010. Additionally, the motor and rotating assembly were balanced. The total cost for this work was $7,324.
On June 7, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
