River Ridge board OKs $7,026 repair work order for nano‑bubbler systems
Summary
Premier Lakes' one‑time work order to repair nano bubble machines and replace nonstandard pumps was approved for $7,026 as a lower‑cost alternative to a $25,000 manufacturer replacement proposal; Lake H1‑B prioritized.
Bill Kurth of Premier Lakes told the board the lakes and dry retention areas (DRAs) "are in good condition," but his inspection identified nano bubbler issues on Lakes H1‑A, H1‑B and E7‑A. Kurth presented a manufacturer proposal to replace nano bubblers for $25,000 but proposed Premier’s One‑Time Work Order to replace two nonstandard 8‑horsepower pumps, an aeration compressor and several check valves as a lower‑cost diagnostic and repair approach.
The board discussed warranty terms, the priority of Lake H1‑B and the difference between Premier's contract terminology and the district’s standard agreement. On a motion by Mr. Blumenthal, seconded by Mr. Twombly, the board approved the amended Premier Lakes One‑Time Work Order Agreement to repair the nano bubble machines on Lakes H1‑A, H1‑B and E7‑A in the amount of $7,026. Staff noted the repair work will make the aeration and pump systems operable to allow fuller evaluation, but additional repairs may still be necessary.
