Title
Consideration of and action on the purchase and installation of gas and diesel fuel pumps at the City Maintenance Facility.
Body
Summary: The Fleet Maintenance Division was budgeted $65,000, this current fiscal year, to replace the diesel and gas suction pumps and install a new automatic tank monitoring system. We had several vendors perform a site visit to look over the existing equipment. During the site visit they found the fuel lines running beneath the concrete had collapsed under the suction of the existing pumps and need to be replaced as well. The current pumps were installed in the 1980’s and are old, outdated, often shut down for repairs, and are no longer reliable.
We are requesting authorization to purchase the pump replacements from JF Petro Group, which is a member of the Buy Board, for a total cost of $109,499.73. The budget overage amount of $44,500 is being funded out of the Capital Improvement Fund contingency.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact: $65,000 in Fleet Maintenance budgeted funds and $44,500 out of Capital Improvement contingency funds for a total of $109,500.
Recommended action
Staff recommends council approve purchase and installation of the gas and diesel fuel pumps and replacement of the braided fuel lines.
