Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to issue a Purchase Order to Smith Pump Company, Inc. for the purchase of two pumps for the East Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Body

The East Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant uses a waste activated pump and return activated pump in the aeration basins and clarifier units for crucial processes in the plant.

The current pumps are past their estimated lifetime and have been repaired and rebuilt numerous times both by Brazos River Authority and the City. Smith Pump Company is the regional, sole source distributer of these pumps and can provide the City with new pumps.

The Utilities & Environmental Services Department recommends the purchase of these replacement pumps to keep the plant operating at full capacity.

The cost for the pumps will be shared by all partner Cities based on the annual operation and maintenance percentage. The City of Round Rock is responsible for 60.3 percent of the total amount of this cost which is $71,339.72.

Cost: $118,308
