AGENDA TITLE: Emergency Purchase of Pump for White Slough Treatment Facility
MEETING DATE: June 2, 1993
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: This is for Council information only.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: One of the City's ten sludge pumps at the White Slough
Treatment Facility recently failed. It was not cost
effective to repair this pump because it would cost more
than $7,000. Since we did not have the time to go to bid
on this item, the replacement pump was purchased under the emergency provisions of
the procurement procedure.
When the plant was constructed, in 1967, there were four Moyno sludge pumps. In the
1976 expansion, two other -brand sludge pumps were added which the City found to be
more difficult to maintain and repair. Prior to the recent expansion of thA White
Slough Facility, the City standardized on the Moyno sludge pump because of its
overall quality, ease of maintenance, and to reduce our parts inventory.
There are only two suppliers of Moyno pumps in California, one in Northern
California and one in Southern California. The purchase was made from the Northern
California supplier because of price and franchise sales area requirements. The
cost of the pump, including sales tax and freight, was $9,460.
FUNDING: Sewer Fund. ^
