HYDRAULIC for the Utility Operations Department, Wastewater
PUMP HEAD
Treatment Division.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend the City Council authorize the purchase of a Diesel Driven Hydraulic Pump Head from
National Pump and Compressor, of Beaumont, TX, in the total amount of $5,250.
BACKGROUND
This pump will enable our personnel to pump heavy sludge from any of our basins into dewatering units
such as drying beds (at the Main WWTP) or our new sludge dewatering container (at the other plants).
This pump head will work with the hydraulic power unit purchased in the FY2008 budget year.
Historically, we have rented this type pump for around $3,000/month. Our plants are getting to the age
where we will be utilizing this type system much more often, and we can also use it to clean lift stations.
We received the following two (2) bids for this unit:
Bidder Total Bid
National Pump and Compressor $5,250.00
Beaumont, TX
Sunbelt Rental
Houston, TX
$5,745.73
The bid from National Pump and Compressor meets the specifications and is therefore
recommended for award.
BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT
Funds for these items are available in account #410-1256-532.92-00 and were budgeted at $5,000,
leaving a negative balance of $250. This slight overrun is covered by savings on other capital
equipment in this year's budget.
STAFFINGIEMPLOYEE EFFECT
City staff will install and operate this unit.
