INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
UTILITY OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT-
ADMINISTRATION
Date: May 20, 2015
To: Brian McDougal, City Manager
From: Jimmie Johnson, Ph.D., Director of Utility Operations
RE: Proposed Resolution No. 19013
Nature of the Request:
I recommend that the City Council rescind Resolution No.15-177 authorizing the
execution of a contract in an amount not to exceed $42,459.00 for Purchase of Motor
for Vertical Pump at Main Lift Station to Houston Motor & Control, of Houston, TX,
for the Utility Operations Department.
StaffAnalysis, Considerations:
This project was to install and furnish a new vertical pump at the Main Lift Station. The
original vertical pump has burnt up and is important to operation usage. The Main Lift
Station is one of our largest stations that pump wastewater to our Main Wastewater
Treatment Plant. Six bids were received in April, 2015, and the lowest responsive bid
was submitted by Houston Motor& Control. Houston Motor& Control was not able to
provide the vertical pump specified. The Utility Operations Department will also make
changes to the specifications for this equipment. This equipment will be re-bid and
brought before Council at a future date.
Recommendation:
I recommend that the City Council approve Proposed Resolution No. 19013.
Budget Considerations:
None.
