RECOMMENDATION
We recommend the City Council award the bid for a Vertical Line Shaft Mixed Flow Pump for the
Main Wastewater Treatment Plant to Jersey Equipment Co. of Houston, Inc., of Houston, Texas,
in the amount of $11,775, to be charged to account 410-1256-532.92.
BACKGROUND
This will be the second pump replaced of six existing units in the trickling filter lift station (L 1B), and
was installed during the expansion of this facility in the mid-1980's. Four of these six pumps operate
continuously (24/7/365). Currently, the pump to be replaced does not function on high speed, and
repairs are estimated to equal or exceed the replacement cost of the unit. Ten (10) bid packets.
were sent out and two bids were received on October 9, 2002.
