Title
Consideration and action on purchasing two transfer pump replacements at the Surface Water Treatment Plant.
Body
Summary: A total of $125,000 was budgeted it in the 2015/16 fiscal year to replace valves on the high service pumps at the water treatment plant, however replacing these valves requires that part of the plant be shut down and due to the high demand for water at this time we would like to postpone that project until the winter months when water demand is lower. At this time we would like to use a portion of these funds to replace two transfer pumps at the water plant. We have received a quote from Smith Pump Company, Inc. for $39,204.00. Smith Pump Company is on the Buy Board (contract # 509-16). Funds are allocated in the 2016/17 fiscal year to move forward with replacing the high service pumps later this winter.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact: Funds were budgeted it 40-506-4904 to cover this expense.
