Item No: 07G Meeting Date: November 28, 2016 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8672, Approving Purchase of a Water Operating Valve for Water Treatment Plant 1. Background/Discussion: One of the many responsibilities the Public Works Department includes efficiently operating the water distribution system. In water treatment plant number 1 (WTP1) there is a large 10” control valve. This valve controls water flow from the filter tanks to the distribution system. In 2015 it was determined that the valve is no longer operating as designed. The valve was installed in the plant in 1992 and is original. Staff contacted a vendor to get a quote for a new valve and put this cost in the 2016 budget. This valve is similar to the other two valves that were replaced in 2013. Public Works Staff will be replacing this valve, additional supplies will be needed along with the rental of lift equipment in order to raise and lower the valve and supporting piping in the plant. Staff has received a quote for a new valve form Kudro Equipment Inc. from Chaska MN for $10,678.00 not including shipping. The valve is in the 2016 budget in account 700-4823-7030 for $35,000.00 Recommendation: Staff recommends the purchase of (1) one 10” Ross valve model 42SR-S pump control valve with emergency quick close feature at a cost of $10,678.00, not including shipping, from Kudro Equipment Inc. of Chaska MN. Staff is also recommending a 5% contingency for any unforeseen expenditures not to exceed $533.90 Funding for this valve will be taken from account 700-4823-7030 which has $35,000.00 for water treatment valves. Cost for rental equipment would be funded from account 700- 4823-4010. Respectfully submitted, Don Peterson Public Works Supervisor
