District approves sampler pump replacement, software flushing upgrade and awning repair at lift station
Summary
The board authorized a warranty-contingent purchase for a sampler booster pump, approved a $13,680 one-time software/hardware upgrade for force-main flushing, and approved up to $1,979 to repair a damaged lift station awning.
Lift-station staff reported several maintenance needs and the board approved procurement actions for three items: a replacement booster pump for a sanitary sampler, a programming upgrade to automate force-main flushing, and repair of a storm-damaged awning.
The lift-station operator (voice 5) said the existing sampler pump is failing and presented a quote for a replacement at $3,781; the board approved the purchase contingent on confirmation of a warranty. Staff then described a Poshgen Electric upgrade to the HMI and flushing controls for a 30-inch force main that would let operations run flush sequences at selected hours and durations; the one-time cost reported in the packet was $13,680 and the board approved the upgrade by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved a not-to-exceed $1,979 repair to replace awning frame and fabric at the main lift station after storm damage; staff noted a lower quote ($1,660) might apply if the frame is undamaged but sought authorization for the higher amount to ensure funds are available.
Next steps: staff will confirm warranties for the sampler pump, finalize the Poshgen installation and schedule awning repairs as weather and parts permit.
