AGENDA REPORT <br />For the Council Meeting of July 2, 1996 <br />TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />APPROVAL: NABAR ENRIQUE MARTINEZ, CITY MANAGER' <br />FROM: LES EVANS, INTERIM WATER & WASTEWATER DIRECTOR <br />SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF EMERGENCY PURCHASE OF WASTEWATER <br />MECHANICAL DRIVE UNIT IN THE AMOUNT OF $47,936 <br />DATE: JUNE 24, 1996 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Wastewater Treatment Plant's secondary clarifier drive mechanical unit and <br />platform failed during the week of June 17. The clarifier drive mechanical unit and <br />platform to set the unit on are required to move the sewage during the secondary <br />treatment process. The Wastewater Treatment Plant personnel attempted to repair the <br />equipment, however, due to its age, repairs could not be made. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />Coombs -Hopkins Company is the maker of the unit, and provided a written quote for <br />replacement unit for a total cost of $47,936 (frieght and tax included). Due to the <br />urgency in obtaining the unit, the City Manager approved the expenditure. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />The unit is needed to process the sewage through the treatment plant. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />The FY95-96 Wastewater Salaries - Benefits Account No. 22-4040-10 is being under <br />spent due to a vacancy since July, 1995. The Wastewater Salaries - Benefits' savings <br />are sufficient to cover the cost of the clarifier unit and platform purchase in the amount <br />of $47,9 6. <br />i <br />,,. <br />Le vans, Interim Water and Wastewater Director <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that Council approve the emergency expenditure of $47,936 for the <br />purchase of a new clarifier drive unit and platform, from The Coombs -Hopkins <br />Company, and approve a budget transfer from Wastewater Salaries - Benefits Account <br />No. 22-4040-10 to the Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant Repairs Account No. <br />22-9407-89. <br />Report Prepared By: Lorraine June <br />ITEM 3 <br />
