Board approves $82,448.31 to replace Highway 20 lift-station pumps
Summary
Trustees approved replacement of worn pumps at the Highway 20 lift station; staff said the existing pumps are not serviceable and the chosen replacement matches pumps used at other village stations.
Jason (staff member) explained that the pumps at the Highway 20 lift station are worn beyond economical repair and proposed replacing them with the same style installed at the village’s other lift stations.
Tom (staff member) said the existing pumps were likely lower-cost and not serviceable because they lack a replaceable wear ring; replacing with the village-standard pumps will allow future adaptability by changing impellers or motor size. Staff presented two quotes: one from LW Allen to purchase pumps and one from Saba for installation; trustees were told to add the two bids plus shipping to compute the total cost.
Trustee (unnamed) moved to approve the Highway 20 pump replacement project for $82,448.31. A second was given and the motion carried by voice vote. Trustees discussed whether the upgraded pumps would accommodate future sewer extensions; staff said the chosen pump style allows for adjustments to impeller and motor size and should be adequate for foreseeable expansions.
The board approved awarding the purchase and installation consistent with the two bids and recommended shipping costs. Staff will schedule installation and update the board on timing and any required piping modifications.
