1 of Mounds View Staff Item No: 8D Meeting Date: September 23, 2013 Type of Business: Consent Agenda Administrator Review: 17E - To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8152, Authorizing the Purchase of Water Control Valves for Water Treatment Plant No. 1 Background/Discussion: One of the many responsibilities of the Public Works Department is to provide safe, clean drinking water to the city consumers in a reliable and efficient manner. Water Treatment Plant No. 1 (WTP1) has two large 10 -inch control valves. These valves control water flow from the filter tanks to the distribution system. In the summer of 2012, it was determined that these valves are no longer operating as designed and require replacement. The valves are original when the plant was constructed in 1992 and have not been replaced to date. Staff has received a quote for new valves form Larsco Water Treatment Equipment Company of Anoka, MN for $4,267 each not including tax or shipping. The total for both valves (not including sales tax or freight) is $8,534. The valves are included in the 2013 budget under 700-4823-7030 for $17,000. Public Works maintenance forces will be replacing the valves later this year. Miscellaneous additional supplies will be required, including the rental of lift equipment to raise and lower these valves and to support the adjacent piping in the plant. Recommendation: Staff recommends the purchase of two (2) water control valves at a cost of $4,267 each, or $8,534, not including sales tax or freight. Staff is also recommending a 5% contingency for any additional expenditure related to the valve replacement not to exceed $450. Funding for these valves will be taken from account 700-4823-7030. Cost for rental equipment would be funded from account 700- 4823-4010. Respectfully submitted, Domz Peterwo Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor
