Board approves force‑main flushing upgrade, sampler purchase and awning repair; tables preventive‑maintenance program
Summary
The board authorized a hardware/software upgrade to the 30‑inch force‑main flushing program, approved a replacement sampler (contingent on warranty verification), and approved awning repairs; staff will continue negotiations on a preventive‑maintenance contract.
The board approved a set of operations and maintenance items aimed at improving reliability and odor control in the district’s collection and pumping system.
Staff presented a quote for an upgrade to the 30‑inch force‑main flushing program from Poshgen Electric that adds a programmable interface and remote scheduling capability. Staff described the upgrade as a one‑time fee to add a control screen and program flushing schedules; the board approved the program as presented.
Operations staff also reported the lift‑station sampler had failed; a replacement sampler was quoted at $3,781. The board approved purchase of the sampler contingent on confirmation of a warranty period and details of materials and workmanship warranty.
Separately, after storm damage to the main lift‑station awning, staff presented two repair quotes (lower if the frame is reusable, higher if replacement is required). The board approved awning repairs not to exceed $1,979 to restore the structure and rehang new fabric if needed. A separate preventive‑maintenance program from Roadtorque (annual check of check valves and force‑main components) was discussed but tabled for further review to avoid overlap with warranty and commissioning work.
