Council approves $11,372.74 repair for Route 15 lift station pump; lead time 10–12 weeks
Summary
Council authorized repair of a pump at the Route 15 lift station at a cost of $11,372.74. Staff said the station averages about 425,000 gallons per day and the repair has a 10–12 week lead time; the expense will slightly overdraw the pump‑repair budget line, to be covered by savings elsewhere.
The Mexico City Council authorized a repair to Pump No. 1 at the Route 15 lift station on June 23 at a quoted cost of $11,372.74.
City staff said the Route 15 station is among the system's busiest and has averaged about 425,000 gallons per day so far this year. Staff reported the number 1 pump was taken offline and that Van Vinder (Van der Vinder) Engineering provided a repair‑to‑return‑service quote of $11,372.74. “This repair list is actually not nearly as expensive as some that we have seen in the past,” staff said during the presentation.
Staff advised the council the lead time on the repair is 10 to 12 weeks and that the city has a budgeted line for pump repair of $80,000. Because the city has undertaken several pump repairs this year, this authorization would overdraw the pump‑repair line by about $4,000; staff proposed covering the $4,000 from savings in other line items so the wastewater services category is not overdrawn.
The council moved, seconded and approved the repair authorization by roll call. No additional motion was recorded regarding temporary replacement pumps or emergency measures; staff said current operations are adequate to hold service during the repair lead time.
