Most recently the vent <br /> assemble has malfunctioned. When this happens, fuel will spill out of the <br /> vent pipe onto the ground. This obviously is not an acceptable situation. <br /> In recent months of cold weather, there has been instances when the pump <br /> won' t shut off when tanks are full and the automatic nozzle has been <br /> activated. Both of these situations can potentially cause great safety <br /> hazards, for operators, equipment, and the environment . <br /> Staff purchased this fuel pump used when the diesel tank was installed <br /> about five years ago. At the time it was a good pump, and as expected with <br /> any piece of equipment, it will require periodic maintenance and repairs . <br /> This pump has fulfilled it' s useful life expectancy and it is no longer <br /> feasible to continue to repair. Staff did not foresee this occurring, <br /> because of the good performance of the pump -for the past year. <br /> Staff request Council authorization to purchase a new diesel pump. The fuel <br /> accounts in Water, Wastewater and the Garage have sufficient funds <br /> remaining in them to purchase this equipment . <br /> Staff has received quotes for a new pump, and they are as follows : <br /> Minnesota Petroleum Equipment $1, 995 <br /> Pump and Meter Supply $2, 290 <br /> Staff recommends the award to Mn. Petroleum Equipment for $1, 995 to be <br /> funded from the following fuel accounts, Water - 700-4121-170, Wasterwater <br /> 730-4121-170, and Garage - 100-4260-170 . <br /> � 7 __(://4.- <br /> C� / C �, <br /> Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Council award the purchase of a new diesel pump to Mn. Petroleum Equipment <br /> for $1, 995, to be funded from fuel accounts, Water 700-4121-170, Wastewater <br /> 730-4121-170 and Garage 100-4260-170 . <br />
