Title
Consideration of and action on entering into an agreement with PSI Water Technologies for improvements to the Avon Elevated Storage Tank and the P Street Ground Storage Tank.
Body
Summary: We received a sole source quote from PSI Water Technologies for water quality improvements in the Avon Elevated Storage Tank (EST) and the P Street Ground Storage Tank (GST). This system is designed the same as the system that was installed at Coy Drive and Pasadena Blvd., providing a mixer and a residual control system in the tank of each site. 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, a combined total of $212,100.00, includes two (2) water quality stations, two (2) PAX Smart Controllers, two (2) chemical feed systems for ammonia, a mixer for the ground storage tank at P Street, a mixer for the elevated storage tank at Avon, SCADA control and feedback, training, and installation.
The two systems that were previously installed at Coy Drive and Pasadena Blvd have proven to be an effective treatment process in increasing the chlorine residual in the tank and distribution system, preventing nitrification from occurring.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
This project was budgeted and is funded out of the account 400-503-4904.
Recommended action
Staff recommends that City Council approve the agreement with PSI Water Technologies.
