Swansea approves $145,469 in wastewater equipment purchases and a master services agreement
Summary
Trustees approved a master services agreement with engineering firm TWM, a sole‑source Kaeser compressor rebuild for $119,419.90 and a pump rebuild from Hydro Kinetics for $26,050 to keep the wastewater plant operational.
The board approved three public‑works measures on July 6 to support wastewater‑plant operations and ongoing engineering needs.
Trustees approved a master services agreement with TWM that will allow the village to place project‑specific work orders under a single annual template. Public works staff described the arrangement as a cleaner contracting mechanism for recurring engineering and surveying services.
The board also approved two equipment purchases for the wastewater treatment plant. Trustees voted to accept a sole‑source price quotation of $119,419.90 from Kaeser Compressors to rebuild blowers, which staff said are required to maintain aeration and prevent bypass to local waterways. Public works described the purchase as budgeted and necessary to avoid system failures. The board approved a second resolution to authorize a $26,050 plus freight quotation from Hydro Kinetics to rebuild a CPEC pump at the plant as part of routine maintenance.
Both equipment purchases were presented as anticipated operating needs; staff said the Kaeser compressors must be worked on by Kaeser‑certified technicians and that the rebuilds were within budget planning. The resolutions passed on roll call votes.
