CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
o
AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Emergency Automatic
Transfer Switch Replacement at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility
MEETING DATE: July 3, 1996
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project will provide for the replacement of the existing
twenty -year-old emergency automatic transfer switch. The transfer
switch was severely damaged five years ago when worn contacts
shorted out. Since then, routine maintenance shows further
deterioration is occurring. When the unit was last repaired, it was discovered that parts were unavailable
and had to be manufactured. This becomes prohibitively expensive with further age and as more parts
are needed. Additionally, manufacturing parts results in severe time delays, during which the facility
would have to function without an alternate power source as mandated by our discharge permit.
FUNDING: The money for this project will be coming from the Sewer Reserve Fund. A request for
appropriation of funds will be made at contract award.
Project Estimate: $140,000
Planned Bid Opening Date: July 24,1996
