Title

AUTHORIZE PAYMENT OF UP TO $105,000 TO HAWKINS CHEMICAL FOR EQUIPMENT UPGRADES TO VARIOUS WELL HOUSES

 

Background

In June of 2017, the City experienced a chemical leak at Well House #1.   After that incident City staff went through and inspected all our other well houses and it was determined that we needed to address and upgrade equipment in other well houses as well.    Staff has worked with our chemical and equipment vendor to upgrade the equipment in the various well houses to current industry standards.

 

The total amount for these upgrades to regulators, auto-switch overs, meter panels, and emergency shut-offs will not exceed $105,000 and will be funded by the water fund.

 

Recommendation

 

By motion authorize the payment of up to $105,000 to Hawkins Chemical for equipment upgrades to City Well houses.
