WATER PLANT FILTER VALVE ACTUATORS
1-.1we] TIkTA'I: I nirT_�C�7►�i
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for the purchase of water plant filter
valve actuators from REXA, Inc. a sole source vendor.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 200-43360-534-0 (Water
PCMF) for a total amount not to exceed $69,979.00.
This sole source purchase will be made in accordance with Local Government Code
Chapter 252, Subchapter B, Section 252.022(a)(7)(A) per the specifications written by
the Public Works Department.
To meet TCEQ Turbidity and Disinfection Regulations, we need effluent valves with a
very high degree of modulation accuracy. These valves, with very small adjustment
capabilities, allow us to adjust the effluent flow through the valves in very small
increments. These small incremental adjustments allow us to adjust the flows without
the filter media disturbance from higher rates of flow which leads to high turbidity
readings, effectively violating TCEQ's potable water rules.
Staff recommends approval.
