Staff Report
Date of Meeting: 10/19/2021
To: Mayor, City Council
From: Charles Fischer – Director of Public Works
Re: Bliss Lift Station 3 and 4 Pump Replacement
Background: The current pumps within Lift Stations 3 and 4 located in the Bliss drain field are
due for replacement. There is a total of four pumps, two within each lift station, which move
effluent up gradient from their location into the Sand Filters and the Infiltration Trenches.
These pumps move all of the incoming effluent from the Bliss neighborhood and serve vital
effluent transferring. If these pumps fail during normal operation all stations downgradient to
them would be required to be shut down which would be all of the properties currently utilizing
the system. To continue normal operation of the system these pumps are proposed to be
replaced.
Proposal Details: The Public Works Department proposes to replace a total of four pumps
within Lift Stations 3 and 4 including any brackets and supporting structures necessary for safe
satisfactory installation. Contractors will perform the installation and start-up of the new
pumps.
Fiscal Impact: The pumps in question are scheduled to be replaced and are included in the
2021 Capital Improvement Fund at an anticipated cost of $24,000.00. Two quotes have been
submitted to Public Works: WWGoetsch for $24,252.00 and Quality Flow Systems for
$27,440.00.
Options:
Option 1: WWGoetsch $24,252.00 (4 new Hydromatic direct match pumps and installation)
Option 2: Quality Flow Systems $27,440.00 (4 new KSB matching replacement pumps and
installation)
Option 3: Do not replace Lift Station 3 and 4 pumps
Recommendation: The Public Works Department recommends Option 1 due to lowest cost and
the new pumps are a direct match the existing pumps.
