FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MAY 2, 2023
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF MOTOR CONTROL CENTER FOR WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approving the purchase of an Eaton Motor
Control Center from Elliot Electric Supply and an ordinance to appropriate
the funds.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Utility Enterprise Fund in an estimated amount
of $148,800.
BACKGROUND: A Motor Control Center (MCC) provides the connection between the
Wastewater Treatment Plant's incoming power and the various equipment
within the plant. The Train 2 MCC has been out of service since the
beginning of this year and is critical for the proper functioning of the
WWTP Train 2 processes.
Staff is nearing completion on the design of a larger project that will
include the MCC work. Typically, we would have the general contractor
secure all equipment for a project. However, the lead time for delivery of
this equipment is 50 weeks. As such, staff is proposing to order this
equipment now and have it supplied to the contractor for installation. We
expect to bid the larger project and seek City Council approval in 3-4
months.
Eaton Corporation is the only manufacturer that can provide the
equipment specified for this project and Elliot Electric Supply is the sole
source distributor for this product.
This procurement will be made as a sole source in accordance with Local
Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter B, § 252.022. General
Exemptions (a)(7)(A). Elliot Electric Supply is the documented sole source
for this service.
Staff recommends approval.
