Staff seeks quotes for pump-house heating; members note $5,100 in bond funds and October spending timeline
Summary
Staff reported they are gathering quotes to heat the pump house to reduce startup/shutdown labor and antifreeze use; members said about $5,100 in bond funds may remain and that funds must be spent by Oct. 1 to meet timelines.
Staff reported they are collecting quotes to install heating in the pump house before winter to reduce time spent on daily startups and shutdowns and to eliminate the need for antifreeze. A staff member said the contractor who handles shutdowns had not previously worked on these pumps, so the department will monitor costs and savings once quotes are in.
Members asked about funding sources; one participant said an earlier check with staff indicated roughly $5,100 remained from bond funds. Staff noted funds needed to be spent by Oct. 1 to meet the applicable spending timeline; staff said they expect more complete information at the next meeting and will return with cost estimates.
