Board approves operations upgrades: force-main flushing program and lift-station replacements
Summary
The authority approved a one-time programming upgrade for the 30-inch force-main flushing program and authorized a replacement sampler booster pump contingent on warranty confirmation; staff also discussed a preventive maintenance program and approved an awning repair not to exceed $1,979.
The board approved an operations upgrade for force-main maintenance and several smaller procurement items aimed at improving system reliability. Staff presented a Poshgen Electric quote to add programmable remote control to the 30-inch force-main flushing routine so the city can schedule and adjust flushing from the station HMI; staff indicated this is a one-time programming fee (transcript notes $13,680) and the board voted to approve the program.
Separately, staff reported that the sampler booster pump at the main lift station is failing; a vendor quote of $3,781 was presented and the board approved the purchase contingent on confirmation of a warranty period. The board also reviewed a preventive maintenance program from Roadtorque and chose to delay committing to a multi-year maintenance contract until warranty overlap issues are clarified.
Staff brought a damaged lift-station awning to the board; repair estimates ranged from $1,660 for rehang/repair to $1,979 for new frame and fabric. The authority approved repair or replacement not to exceed $1,979.
