Commission approves purchase of two trailer-mounted pumps for storm/sewer response
Summary
The commission approved buying two trailer-mounted pumps (for sewage bypass and storm drainage) under the capital-improvement program; Public Works Director Dale McDowell said the two pumps cost about $147,000 and procurement used multiple quotes.
The City approved the purchase of two trailer-mounted pumps intended for sewage bypass and storm-drain response. Public Works Director Dale McDowell said the equipment is specified to improve response where pump stations are compromised and that staff pursued multiple quotes (three) as part of procurement practices.
Commissioners asked about standardizing pump types and generator placement to reduce reliance on towable generators; McDowell said staff is compiling a parts list and plans to add or replace generators at pump stations in upcoming budgets. The motion to approve the purchase was moved and seconded and passed on voice vote.
