C <br />MEMO T0: Mayor and City Council FROM: Public Works Foreman Ulrich/#/4 <br />DATE: November 9, 1969 <br />SUBJECT: Rebuilding of Grove_and Lift Station <br />Groveland lift station hay been in existence an excess of <br />approximately twenty years and has provided the City with an <br />exceptionally effecient and inexpensive operation. To date this <br />equipment has experienced the least amount of breakdown due to <br />proper maintenance and application. Even though effective <br />preventative maintenance can reduce breakdown maintenance, it <br />cannot prevent normal wear. This year we have had to replace <br />bearings, and continually retorque shafts and pump heads due to <br />the wearing of these parts. The need for rebuilding has been <br />reviewed by our staff and outside experts in the field. <br />We have solicitated the only two venders that provide this <br />service in the metro area for bids. They are Waldor Pump and <br />Techni Flow. Waldor Pump is a dealer for the current equipment we <br />have in use and has provided us with a quote. Techni Flow does <br />not handle this equipment , thus having to purchase it from <br />Waldor. 1 have talked to a representative from Techni Flow <br />numerous times to work with them on comperably specified <br />equipment, but he has declined to submit a proposal. Since our <br />current equipment has performed so well for so long we recommend <br />that we replace it with the same updated pumps. For that reason <br />we have only one bid to submit. Waldor Pump is a reputable firm <br />and has performed work for us in the past. Their bid accompanies <br />this memo for your review but is as follows: <br />Waldor Pump ----------------------------------- $10,963.00 <br />We have E29,000.00 budgeted for sewer inspection and <br />repair, and lift station pump and motor repair. At this time we <br />have completed all the inspection for the year thus having <br />adequate funds remaining for this project. <br />RECOMMENDATI_M: Staff recommends the award of bid to Waldor Pump <br />to rebuild Grov:land Lift Station for $10,363.00 to be charged to <br />41 the Sewer Utility Repairs Account 0730-4122-515. <br />
