Council approves VFD purchase; Well #1 pump replacement quote under review
Summary
Council authorized purchase of a variable frequency drive (VFD) package for $4,788.24 and asked Thien Well for a repair quote for the Well #1 pump after receiving a $9,500 replacement quote.
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 a repair quote as an alternative to full replacement. Separately, Total Control submitted quotes for two styles of variable frequency drives (VFDs). On a motion by Joyce Gvesrude, seconded by Steve Studniski, the council approved purchase of the VFD package quoted at $4,788.24.
The council’s action authorizes the VFD purchase to improve control at the water facility; the pump replacement question remains open pending a repair estimate from Thien Well. No financing details beyond the quoted amounts were provided in the meeting record.
