RECOMMENDATION
We recommend the City Council award the bid for one (1) Vertical Turbine Pump to Pump Solutions,
Inc., of Houston, Texas in the amount of $8,858.
BACKGROUND
This pump will replace one of the two existing vertical turbine pumps in the Main WWTP process water
pump station (P-2). Ten (10) bid packets were sent out and three (3) bids were received on October 9,
2002.

Pump Solutions, Inc,

The bid from Pump & Equipment of Texas does not meet the requirements of the advertised
specifications in that it is for a 6-stage pump, and has a shaft of C-1045 steel with 304 stainless steel
sleeve instead of the specified 316 SS shaft. The bid from Pump Solutions, Inc. meets the
requirements of the advertised specifications (highlighted in bold), and is therefore recommended for
award.
BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT
Funds for the purchase of this pump were approved in the current operating budget account no. 410-
1256-532.92 at $9,000, leaving a $142 positive balance. Last year, we purchased an identical unit
from this vendor for $8,936, reflecting a 0.87% decrease.
