Summary
After Utilities Director Dale Schwieger reported a pump failure at Melvern Lake, the council approved repairs with Alexander Pump & Service not to exceed $145,000 to remove, repair or replace the pump and inspect the system by camera.
The Osage City Council authorized up to $145,000 for repair services at the Melvern Pump Station after Utilities Director Dale Schwieger reported a failure of one of the station's two pumps.
Schwieger told the council several estimates were obtained and described the planned work to include removal, repair or replacement of the failed pump and a camera inspection of the station to identify any additional damage. On a motion by Council Member Mike Gilliland with a second by Jeff Tice, the council approved services from Alexander Pump & Service not to exceed $145,000; the motion carried 8-0.
The minutes indicate the authorization is to address the immediate equipment failure and to inspect for any further needs; the record does not list an exact completion date or whether the council approved a funding source transfer at the meeting.
