Division. Hurricane IKE Damage.
We recommend the City Council authorize payment for Repairs to a Vertical 300HP Motor to Pump & Power, of
Houston, Texas, in the amount of $10,615.
BACKGROUND
Subsequent to Hurricane Ike, we operated the Main Ouffall Lift Station using an emergency generator. For
several days, this generator ran intermittently due to mechanical problems, causing low voltage to the LS.
According to the repair shop,. this caused damage to the only two motors we used during the outage. We have
already repaired the smaller unit. This large 300HP motorwas rewound last year and should have lasted another
decade. The following quotes were received to complete this work:
