FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 6, 2024
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF FEEDER WIRES FOR HIGH SERVICE PUMPS FOR
THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of feeder wires for high
service pumps for the Water Treatment Plant from Graybar for the Public
Works Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Utility Enterprise Fund for an amount not to
exceed $63,000.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is to replace existing wiring to high service pumps to
ensure this is a continuous full run without any splice points. This will bring
wiring and drives back within specifications and help with reliability,
serviceability, and longevity.
This purchase will be made in accordance with existing and interlocal
agreements with Omnia Partners Public Sector, Region VIII Education
Service Center in Texas as allowed by Texas Local Government Code,
Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Section 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Graybar. The Public Works and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for
departmental specification compliance and pricing and determined that
the contract would provide the best service and pricing for meeting the
needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval
