Board approves $7,603 pump repair for county’s 2005 pumper after annual test failure
Summary
After an annual pump test failure on a 2005 Pierce pumper, staff requested and the board approved an emergency repair quote of $7,603; funds were available in the vehicle repair line.
Michael Smith reported a failed annual pump test on a 2005 Pierce pumper—the newest pumper in the county fleet—and requested approval to proceed with repairs. "The repair total would be $7,603," Smith said, and he told commissioners the part would be a new loaded impeller assembly. Smith said the county has $20,000 in the vehicle repairs line and adequate operating budget availability to cover the cost.
Smith said the vendor that performed the pump test is a specialist located in Claremore and has worked for the county previously; staff recommended using that vendor because of their familiarity and because obtaining other estimates would carry additional trip charges. A motion to accept the vendor quote was made, seconded and the board voted unanimously to authorize the repair.
