HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 19 - VFD Replacements Service Pumps 1 & 4MEMOTO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 5, 2019
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE PURCHASE OF WATER TREATMENT PLANT
VFD REPLACEMENTS FOR SERVICE PUMPS 1 AND 4
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of water treatment plant
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on service pumps No. 1 and No. 4 from
Plus 1 Services for the Public Works Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval, funds are available in the Utility Enterprise Capital Fund
201 for an amount not to exceed $66,982.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for the replacement of two existing Variable Frequency
Drives (VFDs) at the water treatment plant.These drives allow standard
constant speed motors to be operated as variable speed motors. Having
the option to run the pumps at a variable speed increases operational
efficiency of the plant by reducing energy costs when the full capacity of
the pumps are not required. The existing VFDs have failed and need to be
replaced.
Bids were taken in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 252,
Subchapter B, Section 252.021 (a) and Section 252.041 (a). The bid
advertisement was posted in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on September
5, and September 12, 2019. The RFB was issued through the City eBid
system with 1443 invitations sent out. Three bids were received. The bid
was opened electronically and publicly on September 26, 2019 at 2 pm.
Based on the evaluation of the bid by the Public Works Department and
Purchasing staff, it was determined that Plus 1 Services submitted the
lowest responsible and responsive bid.
