Consent Agenda - Roll Call Vote
Replacement Thickener Transfer Pump Purchase

BACKGROUND: 

The Marquette Area Wastewater facility uses a progressive cavity pump to transfer liquid waste activated sludge to the belt filter press for dewatering. The pump has been in operation for 13 years and needs a rebuild or replacement. After getting quotes for parts, it was determined it would be more cost effective to purchase a new pump.  There is only one vender that serves the area.


FISCAL EFFECT: 

There are sufficient funds in the facility’s replacement reserve fund for this repair.


RECOMMENDATION: 

Approve the purchase of one Moyno pump for an amount not-to-exceed $29,431 from PFC Equipment Inc.


ALTERNATIVES: 
As determined by the Commission.
