Committee approves $57,515 sole‑source purchase to replace failed recirculating pump at Westside plant
Summary
The finance committee approved a sole‑source purchase to replace a failed recirculating pump on tank 1 at the Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant; staff said the replacement is a direct swap requiring no piping changes and is funded in the current budget.
Public Service Director Robbie Stone told the committee a recirculating pump on tank 1 at the Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant failed and must be replaced to prevent the sludge from becoming septic.
Stone said there are two liquid sludge tanks at the Westside plant and each has a recirculating pump; the failed pump will be replaced with a direct replacement that requires no piping changes. He recommended approving Ibera Hayward Gordon as the sole‑source vendor for the purchase at $57,515 and said funds are available in the current budget.
No committee members raised questions. A motion to approve the item was made, seconded and passed.
Staff characterized the purchase as a direct replacement to restore normal operation and did not describe additional system upgrades or schedule beyond the immediate replacement.
