Authority approves equipment and maintenance work: force‑main upgrade, sampler purchase and awning repair
Summary
Board approved a software/hardware upgrade for automated force‑main flushing, a sampler purchase contingent on warranty, an awning repair not to exceed $1,979 and an asbestos removal contract for plant work.
The board approved several operational purchases and contracts intended to improve system performance and safety.
Operations staff (Bill) described three maintenance items: a quoted replacement sampler for the main lift station (quoted at $3,781) with uncertainty about warranty; a Poshgen Electric quote for a one‑time hardware/software modification to enable scheduled and remote flushing of a 30‑inch force main (quoted at $13,680); and an awning repair for the main lift station (repair or full replacement not to exceed $1,979). The board approved the sampler purchase contingent on staff providing warranty documentation. The force‑main flushing modification was approved as a one‑time upgrade to allow more frequent, scheduled flushes. The board also approved the awning repair quote and directed staff to proceed.
Separately, the board approved a contract with Aircom for asbestos remediation work at the wastewater treatment plant and base shop; staff said prior inspection indicated no asbestos, but the contract finalizes the remediation scope where needed.
Moderator (S3) and operations staff discussed preventive maintenance proposals from Roadtorque and decided to table a full preventive‑maintenance program pending clarification of warranty overlap and possible multi‑year pricing alternatives.
