Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Smith Pump Company, Inc. for utility pump and motor repair services.
Body
The City's water and wastewater system has a number of pumps and motors that moves water and wastewater in the City. Smith Pump is the area dealer for many of the City's water pumps and motors, specifically Pleuger motors and Flowserve pumps. The raw water pump station at Lake Georgetown consists of 9 Pleuger motors with Flowserve pumps. This is a critical site that ensures the City of Round Rock has water for public health and safety in our community. Also, several Flowserve pumps are located at pumping stations in our Water Distribution System. Smith Pump has the ability to build pumps to meet design specifications that lessens the out of service time of equipment. They have the equipment and knowledge to pull and repair any pump in the City's water system. This contract eliminates having to go out for public biding for these services, which greatly increases getting equipment back to normal operations in a timely manner. Any time saved in the repair process helps with keeping the water system flowing to our customers. Smith Pump is a member of Buy Board for labor and services that helps keep costs down and competitive.
