Staff was instructed to place this item on the consent agenda for approval . At the June 12 , 1995 Council meeting, staff presented a report requesting permission to solicit quotes for replacing badly worn motor starters for wells 5 and 6 . Staff has received two quotes for equipment and installation. The bids also include the installation of power factor 1 correction capacitors for well one, which will improve that motors energy efficiency. The quotes are as follows : Bacon Electric $20, 126 Kilmer Electric $23 , 155 When the revisions at Treatment Plants 2 and 3 were being performed, there were numerous items not included in the contractors bid, that staff was to purchase and in many cases install or rebuild in-house . These items were purchased to reduce the total project cost, as was practiced earlier at the new water treatment plant . Such items included were lab tables, chemical scales, security systems, ceiling fans, check valves, and air compressor, to name a few. These items were purchased with the Water Improvement Bonds . This account was closed out as of December 31, 1995 . At the meeting when the auditors gave the financial report, staff added that we would be requesting that Council approve a transfer of the funds from the closed Bond Fund, to the Water Operational Fund to balance the accounts . Staff has included this amount in the request for funds for the motor starters, since they will be purchased from the same account .
