MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER 0
MEETING DATE: APRIL 17, 2001
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF PUMPS AT THE
MINTERS CHAPEL LIFT STATION AND THE RESOLUTION
THAT RATIFIES THE INITIAL PURCHASE
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider award of a contract to North Texas Pump Co., Inc. for the
purchase of three lift station pumps at the Minters Chapel Lift Station in the total amount
of $42,100.00. A bid tabulation is attached for review.
FUNDING SOURCE:
200-43370-534-0 Utility Enterprise Fund/Perm. Capital Maintenance/Treatment
Infrastructure Maintenance.......................................................$42,100.00
BACKGROUND:
This purchase is being made as an emergency purchase in accordance with Local
Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter B, Section 252.022 (a) (1) (2).
Minters Chapel sewage Lift Station suffered a catastrophic failure of two of the three
pumps in the station. The pumps and motors were completely worn out and the third
was in similar condition but still operational. Continuous operation of the lift station is
critical to the health and welfare of the citizens of Grapevine and compliance with the
Environmental Protection Agency and Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission law. The existing pumps were damaged beyond repair and staff
immediately began locating pumps that met the operating parameters and could be
delivered without delay. The purchase price of the new pumps is $42,100. The limit for
purchase without formal bids is $15,000. Staff declared an emergency due to the health
and welfare provisions of the above referenced Local Government Code and initiated
the purchase.
Staff solicited quotes from three vendors as shown on the attached bid tabulation. North
Texas Pump Co., Inc. was the low bidder. Staff recommends ratification of the purchase
of the new pumps for the Minters Chapel Lift Station in the amount of $42,100.
