Re: FEMA reimbursement fund use – Lift Stations #2 Pump #2
Background:
In March of 2019 there were rains and melting conditions that created flooding conditions in
the Bliss Addition area that overwhelmed the 201 Sewer system and in doing so caused one
pump to fail in lift station #2. Pump #2 was temporarily replaced by a used motor 6 years old.
The motor needs to be updated to ensure reliable pumping. The Funds secured by the Director
of Public Works and provided by FEMA, are to be used to restore this facility back to its pre-
disaster design, function and capacity (in-kind) within the existing footprint. The FEMA contract is
included as a separate supplemental document.
Issue:
Repairs need to be completed on the 201 Bliss system and the FEMA funds are now available.
The Director of Public Works seeks approval to proceed.
Proposal Details:
The Director has secured quotes for the project. Quotes are as follows:
WWW Goetsch: $5,896.00 for a Hydromatic motor, freight, and installation – 2 year warranty
Quality Flow: $5,690.00 for Barnes motor, freight, and installation – 2 year warranty
Fiscal Impact:
$5,896.00 to $5,690.00 would be the total cost of this project. FEMA funds would be used. After
these funds are used, there would be additional funds available to put toward the 201 system.
Options:
1.) Allow PW to use the FEMA funds and aware the bid to Quality Flow
2.) Allow PW to use the FEMA funds and aware the bid to www Geotsch
Recommendation:
Option #1
