Residual Analyzer Replacements to Borges & Mahoney Company, of Vallejo ($15,700); and
Appropriate $20,000
MEETING DATE: October 17, 2001
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution awarding the contract for the above project
to Borges & Mahoney Company, of Vallejo, in the amount of $15,700; and
appropriate $20,000 for the project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of replacing two 10+ -year-old chlorine residual analyzers,
which control the chlorine and sulfur dioxide dosages at the White Slough facility.
The chlorine analyzers are critical to plant operations and in need of replacement
this budget cycle.
The two chlorine analyzers were installed in 1989 and in need of more frequent repairs, which indicate they are
nearing the end of their useable life. Because the failure of either unit would cause a discharge violation, both units
require replacement at this time. One fine for a discharge violation of this type could exceed the cost of replacement.
Installation will be performed by Facility staff and our Instrumentation Contractor.
The requested appropriation is less than the budget project estimate because the original estimate, developed by our
Master Plan consultant, included engineering and installation costs. The purchase and installation by City staff will
result in significant savings. The additional appropriation over the contract amount is to cover contingencies during
installation.
Specifications for this project were approved on September 5, 2001. There were three bid packages sent out, but this
is the only bid the City received.
FUNDING: Requested Appropriation: $20,000— Wastewater Capital Budget
Budget Project Estimate (Page E 21): $55,000
Bid Opening Date: September 26, 2001
