Board approves lift-station fixes, software upgrade for force-main flushing and a pump purchase contingent on warranty
Summary
Officials approved a contingency purchase of a replacement sampler/booster pump, a one-time $13,680 software/hardware upgrade to permit scheduled flushing of the 30-inch force main, and a not-to-exceed repair for a storm-damaged lift-station awning.
The board approved multiple operations and maintenance items for the city’s wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, including equipment replacement, a software-enabled force-main flushing program and a lift-station awning repair.
Operations staff said a sampler/booster pump at the main lift station had failed and quoted $3,781 for a replacement. The board approved the purchase contingent on confirmation of a suitable warranty period. Staff also presented a vendor proposal to add HMI controls and programmatic flushing for a 30-inch force main to reduce odors; the one-time installation price discussed was $13,680. The board approved implementing the force-main flushing upgrade.
Additionally, staff reported storm damage to a lift-station awning. Quotes ranged from a repair-only option to full replacement; the board approved repairs not to exceed $1,979 to restore the awning and resecure the frame if required.
Board members emphasized warranty protections and asked staff to confirm warranty terms for the pump and coordination of any software/hardware work under existing bond-funded station upgrades where appropriate.
