Council authorizes $266,733 contract to replace Well No. 3 pump
Summary
The council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to contract with Jurgensen Pump LLC to replace and install a pump for Well No. 3 for an estimated $266,733; staff said the existing equipment was near its 10-year lifespan.
The Colony City Council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a contract with Jurgensen Pump LLC to replace and install a pump at Well No. 3 in an estimated amount of $266,733, using board contract number 77-25.
Public works staff explained that the pump and associated down-well components approach a typical 10-year service life after running continuously to lift water and that the wellhead will be refurbished while the motor, replaced about a year earlier, does not need replacement. Staff identified Jenny Arthur as the water production manager responsible for overseeing maintenance.
Council members asked for clarification on prior approvals and oversight; staff said the expenditure was part of regular maintenance and capital planning. A council member moved and another seconded; the motion passed.
The contract will allow staff to proceed with the pump replacement work; no further details about the vendor contract terms were discussed on the record.
