Russo, City Manager <br />FROM: <br />Susan Simpson, Assistant City Manager <br />DATE: <br />2/18/2021 <br />Ratification of Expenses with MWI Pumps for the <br />RE: Golden Shores Stormwater Pump Repairs Over <br />$50,000.00 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />This item is presented for your consideration. <br />REASONS: <br />The Golden Shores Stormwater Pump Station serves to provide <br />drainage to the Golden Shores neighborhood. In 2020, this area <br />experienced torrential downpours and severe flooding. Portable <br />pumps were purchased to assist while a pump station renovation <br />could be designed. Through this process, it was realized that the large <br />pump was in dire need of an overhaul that included a new motor <br />immediately and could not wait for the full renovation. To ensure <br />continuous stormwater drainage, a rental pump was installed and the <br />repair, including a new motor, commenced. The total cost of that <br />project was an amount not to exceed $48,000 and was approved <br />under emergency authority by the City Manager. <br />While the large pump was out for repair, a leak developed in the small <br />pump and was out of service. The small pump now required a major <br />repair in which a full rebuild is more cost effective, utilizing the solid <br />components and installing a new motor and other damaged parts. The <br />cost for the small pump rebuild will not exceed $27,495 including <br />removal and reinstallation. <br />These 2 projects combined total $75,495.00 with the same vendor, <br />MWI Pumps who is the original manufacturer of both pumps. To <br />provide continuous drainage service to this neighborhood, this work <br />needed to commence immediately and was approved under the City <br />Manager's emergency authority. <br />We now seek ratification of this expenditure that, combined, will <br />exceed $50,000.00. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />These repairs, along with some other upgrades, are being performed <br />in lieu of the CIP project to completely rebuild the pump station at a <br />significant cost savings. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />Funding is budgeted for and available in the Capital Improvement <br />Projects (CIP) budget account number 300-5-5390/450-5-5380- <br />465000-20004 titled Golden Shores Stormwater Pump Station. <br />
