SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE AWARD OF AN INFORMAL REQUEST
FOR QUOTE FOR AN 8" SUBMERSIBLE PUMP REPLACEMENT
AT THE HILTON LIFT STATION
1:4
City Council to consider approval for the award of an informal request for quote for an 8"
submersible pump replacement for the Hilton Lift Station from FCX Performance
Company.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in 200-43370-534-0 (W/W Treatment
Infrast. Maint.) for an amount not to exceed $27,695.00.
The ABS pump being provided by Pierce Pump (an FCX Performance Company) is
needed for our Hilton Lift Station. The station is a four pump set up and two of the pumps
have developed electrical problems and are no longer operable. The cost to repair these
pumps is higher than the replacement price to purchase a new pump from Pierce Pump.
Due to the size of the station, it is of utmost importance to get this pump purchased and
installed as soon as possible. Thorough research was conducted on the best pump in
regards to pump data, price, and application for this pump purchase and replacement.
Informal quotes were taken in accordance with the City Purchasing Policy. Formal bids
and advertisements are not required for purchases under $50,000.00. Two quotes were
submitted as noted below. The department tried contacting Xylem Water Solutions several
times and the vendor would not respond. FCX Performance Company submitted the
lowest quote meeting specifications.
FCX Performance Company $27,695.00
PSI Pump Solutions $28,319.00
Xylem Water Solutions No Bid
Staff recommends approval.
