Pulaski approves single-source purchase of four water-plant mixers ahead of November testing
Summary
The board approved a single-source purchase, estimated at about $41,000, to replace four mixers at the city's water plant; staff said the mixers are functionally single-source because of control-panel compatibility requirements.
The Pulaski Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Aug. 26 approved replacing four mixers at the city's water plant and authorized a single-source purchase estimated at about $41,000.
Water-department staff told the board that mixers have burned out in the past and that replacement units must match the plant’s existing control panels and wiring. Because the replacements must be compatible with the current control system, staff said only a single source could provide the necessary configuration.
Staff said the purchase is time-sensitive because the plant faces a testing period in November that the city needs to meet. The board approved the single-source authorization by roll call.
Next steps: staff will issue a purchase order and proceed with installation; procurement documents will reflect the single-source justification.
