equipment or other property.
The clarifier at the wastewater treatment plant is a vital part of the wastewater treatment
plant process which allows us to separate the solids from the waste stream. One unit in
our system has failed and is in need of repair. The unit has been in service for over 20
years and is in need to be rebuilt by a certified factory representative. That
representative will only use certified parts and factory trained personnel in order to
maintain the reliability of our system. This repair is beyond the scope of plant personnel
and has some specialized equipment that needs to be utilized in order to get the full.
benefit of warranty and service. This unit is in a position that will require several parts of
this unit to be removed and replace in a meticulous fashion in order to maintain
structural integrity and functionality. This unit is only serviced by the factory
representative for this area which is Environmental Improvements Inc. (See attached
letter).
Staff recommends approval of a-resolution to award a purchase order to Environmental
Improvements, Inc. to rebuild a clarifier drive at the Wastewater Treatment Plant for the
estimated cost of$30,213.60.
