MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 19, 2017
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE AND
INSTALLATION OF A WATER BOOSTER PUMP
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for the purchase and installation of a water
booster pump from Texas AirSystems, Inc.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in 174-74004-118-001 (City Hall Repairs&
Maint.) for an amount not to exceed $22,949.00.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The domestic water pump that we are replacing is a constant speed pump that is over 20
years old and is at end of life for this type of equipment. The new Armstrong domestic
water pump is variable speed, which will save up to 60% on energy cost for this piece of
equipment.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with the
Region VIII Education Service Center in Texas. Purchases through this program are
authorized under Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and Texas Government
Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the cooperative and a contract was awarded to Texas AirSystems, Inc.
The Facility Services Department and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for
departmental specification compliance and pricing and determined that the contract would
provide the best product, service and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
