Title
Authorization to purchase filter parts for the Filter Set #1 at the Water Treatment Plant from SUEZ Treatment Solutions.
Body
Summary:
A budgeted item was approved for this fiscal year to replace the syphon, annular flume, inlet flume, and vacuum tank of the original filter set. The existing structure has been modified due to age with straps to hold up the syphons because they rusted and would not support themselves and the vacuum tank has multiple rust out spots. The annular flume has multiple leaks. Other parts have been replaced that had rusted through.
SUEZ Treatment Solutions is the owner of the Greenleaf Filter technology. The parts are being replaced with stainless steel parts, which the new filter set was designed with. SUEZ is the sole source provider for the parts we are replacing. The parts are $80,023.17. The total budgeted for this project is $100,000.00. The remaining funds are for parts needed for installation which is being done by plant and other city personnel.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
This purchase is budgeted in 400-503-4904.
