Title
Consideration of and action on entering into a contract with PAX Water Technologies.
Body
Summary: We received a sole source quote from PAX Water Technologies for water quality improvements in the Coy Street water storage tanks. This system provides a mixer in both the elevated and ground storage tanks and a residual control system in the ground storage tank. It provides a more efficient and uniform method to boost the chlorine residual at the site and will have a direct impact on the water quality of the neighborhoods served by these tanks.
The proposal, totaling $148,595.00, includes a water quality station, a PAX Smart Controller, a chemical feed system for ammonia, a mixer for the ground storage tank, a mixer for the elevated storage tank, SCADA control and feedback, training, and installation.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact: This project is funded out of the FY 2016-2017 Water Sewer Contingency Account, 40-500-4510. A budget amendment is also being proposed at the July 18, 2017 Council Meeting to increase the funding in this account.
Recommended action
Staff recommends that City Council approve the agreement with PAX Water Technologies.
