FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JULY 17, 2018
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE
OF CENTRIFUGAL BLOWERS REPAIR
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider a resolution authorizing a sole source purchase of
repair services for three centrifugal blowers for the Wastewater Treatment
Plant from Evans Enterprises.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds for this purchase are available in account 200-43370-534-000
(Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund) for an amount not to exceed
$38,585.
BACKGROUND: This repair is for the three centrifugal blowers in treatment train 1. These
blowers are critical for treatment purposes as they provide oxygen to the
aerobic bacteria in order to remove organic wastes per TCEQ (Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality) requirements.
This equipment has been out of service for an extended period of time and
Evans Enterprises was hired to perform an inspection and assessment of
required repairs. The blowers were dissassembled in order to assess the
condition. The needed repairs are extensive and staff recommends a sole
source purchase for the necessary repairs.
The purchase of the repair services for the centrifugal blowers will be
made as a sole source purchase from Evans Enterprises in accordance
with Local Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter B, §252.022.
General Exemptions (a) (3).
Staff recommends approval
