Council authorizes JCI to attempt two pump installations at water plant on contingency
Summary
Crawford’s council approved a contingency plan for JCI to attempt installing two field-service pumps at the water treatment plant during a first visit for $4,461 if the company can supply required bolts and parts; councilors debated installing one vs. three pumps but agreed to the contingency approach.
The Crawford City Council authorized JCI to attempt installing two field-service pumps at the water treatment plant during an initial visit for $4,461, on the condition that JCI could supply all bolts and additional parts needed to complete the work.
Council Member Brent Gebbie proposed the contingency to avoid repeated service visits and to determine whether two pumps could be installed during the same visit; Council Member Scott DeBock seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to approve the plan.
Members discussed operational concerns and whether it is cost-effective to install one pump now or replace all three at once. The council asked staff to monitor parts availability and return with a plan if additional visits or parts are required. Work is expected possibly in March depending on parts and scheduling.
The council did not commit to replacing all pumps at once; the approved action authorizes the initial attempt and gives staff and JCI discretion to address related issues that arise during the visit.
