RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving sole source purchase of return activated
sludge pump for White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility from
Pump Repair Service Company, of San Francisco, in the amount of
$29,000.
BAGKGROUND INFORMATION: The function of the return activated sludge (RAS) pump is to pump
sludge from the secondary clarifiers and return it to the aeration
basins. The existing No. 2 RAS pump was installed in 1991. Through
the years, the pump has been repaired and parts have been replaced. As part of routine preventive
maintenance practices, the No. 2 RAS pump is due to be replaced. The White Slough Water Pollution
Control Facility WSWPCF) has three RAS pumps, two for operation and the third for backup/redundancy.
The No. 1 RAS pump was replaced in 2010 and No. 3 RAS pump is scheduled to be replaced in 2015.
Pump Repair Service Company is the sole source equipment distributor. Once the new RAS pump is
installed by staff, the pump will be able to pump efficiently from the secondary clarifiers into the aeration
basins to maintain effective operation and continued compliance with discharge permit requirements.
Per Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070, Bidding, the bidding process may be dispensed when the City
Council determines that the purchase or method of purchase is in the best interests of the City. Staff
recommends purchase of the return activated sludge pump from Pump Repair Service Company.
