Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Water & Sewer Fund Budget for emergency repairs to a turbine pump at the Water Treatment Plant.
Body
Summary:
One of the vertical turbine pumps at the Water Treatment Plant gave out during Hurricane Harvey and needs to be repaired or replaced. The plant supervisor had hoped to replace these pumps during the 2018-2019 fiscal year, but the hurricane accelerated that timeline. This budget amendment will cover the services needed to evaluate what work will be required to reinstate this particular pump following the hurricane, such work to include a crane to remove the pump, loading and transporting of the pump to the shop in order to be disassembled, cleaned, and inspected, and an inspection report with findings and a recommendation. Northstar Industries provided these emergency services for the amount of $7,250.00.
An amendment in the amount of $7,250.00 for the cost of the emergency services needed to inspect and evaluate the repair or replacement of this vertical turbine pump is proposed for the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Budget.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Increase the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Water & Sewer Fund Budget by $7,250.00 to be funded by the prior year revenues of the Water & Sewer Fund, which are available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Water & Sewer Fund Budget.
