Council approves $212,745 contract to repair Rainey Well pumps
Summary
After a catastrophic failure of the Rainey Well pumps and motors, the council authorized a $212,745 contract to replace wiring and complete electrical work to restore the Stillaguamish treatment plant; work is expected to finish by the end of September.
Utility Superintendent Steven Bradshaw told the council the Rainey Well suffered a "catastrophic failure, lost both pumps and motors," and that pump two's wiring was significantly deteriorated. Bradshaw said the city solicited bids and received one bidder; the contract amount discussed was $212,745.
Council President Stevens moved to authorize the mayor to award the contract to the bidder as presented; Council member Perkins seconded the motion and the council approved it. Bradshaw told the council the pump replacement and wiring work is expected to be complete by the end of September, which will allow the Stillaguamish treatment plant to return to service.
