Due to the timing of the failure and the critical need to maintain a reliable water supply to this portion <br />of the city, staff recommends proceeding with the bronze rotating assembly option, as it will allow the <br />pump to be repaired and returned to service within a shorter timeframe. Restoring the pump as <br />quickly as possible is essential to maintaining adequate water pressure and ensuring uninterrupted <br />service to residents in the southern service area. <br />Following the successful rebuild and reinstallation of the failed pump, it is highly recommended that <br />the second pump at the booster station also be inspected and repaired if necessary. Because the <br />station relies heavily on both pumps to meet daily water demands, evaluating the remaining pump will <br />help reduce the risk of a future failure and improve the long-term reliability of the system. This work <br />would be scheduled for a later date when overall water demand has decreased, allowing maintenance <br />to be completed with minimal impact to water service. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />Expected cost to repair the current pump is not to exceed $19,650 with an inspection of pump 2 to cost an <br />estimated $1800. Current expenses for removal of the pump and motor with initial evaluation is $6,800. <br />These repairs are unexpected and were not planned in the 2026 Public Works budget. Staff expect to use funds <br />from the contracted services under the water enterprise fund. This fund currently has a balance of <br />approximately $58,000 <br />RECOMMENDATION: (if pulled from Consent) <br />“Motion to approve making the necessary repairs to the booster station pump not to exceed $30,000.”
