Wrenshall council approves $4,788.24 VFD purchase; seeks repair quote for Well #1 pump
Summary
Council authorized purchase of a VFD package for $4,788.24 and asked Thien Well for a repair quote to compare with a $9,500 pump replacement estimate for Well #1.
The city’s water operator reported a $9,500 quote from Thien Well to replace the pump at Well #1 and said staff will request an additional quote to repair the existing pump as an alternative to replacement. Total Control supplied quotes for two styles of variable frequency drives (VFDs) to support pump control.
On a motion by Councilor Joyce Gvesrude, seconded by Councilor Steve Studniski, the council approved purchase of the VFD package quoted at $4,788.24. The motion carried. No additional budget authority or financing details were provided during the discussion.
