FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 7, 2025
SUBJECT: PURCHASE, REPAIR, AND INSTALLATION FOR OAK GROVE PARK
TRANSFER PUMP
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the approval for the purchase, repair, and
installation for Oak Grove Park transfer pump from Smith Pump Company
for the Parks and Recreation Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund (Parks)
for an amount not to exceed $17,450.
BACKGROUND: This is for the purchase of repairs and installation at the Oak Grove Park
Lake transfer pump provided by Smith Pump Company. These repairs are
essential to ensure a reliable supply of water to the Oak Grove pond,
which serves as the primary water source for irrigating all Oak Grove
Complex areas, including the baseball, softball, and soccer fields. This
pump plays a critical role in maintaining adequate water levels in the
pond, especially during periods of high demand or seasonal variation.
Repairing the lake transfer pump will assist in efficient irrigation supporting
field conditions and landscape maintenance.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buy
Board) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271 and
Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Smith
Pump Company. The Parks 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.
