MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Directors, Lake County Sanitation District
FROM: Jan Coppinger, Special Districts Administrator
DATE: September 17, 2019
SUBJECT: (a) Waive the competitive bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 2-38.2, based on the determination that competitive bidding would produce no economic benefit to the County; and (b) Authorize Special Districts Administrator/Assistant Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order not to exceed $128,000.00 to R.F. MacDonald for a New Bowl Assembly for Goulds Pump.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The 600 hp booster pump for the B Street pump station, which pumps treated waste to the geysers, is in need of major repair. R.F. MacDonald Company specializes in these very large pumps. They dismantled and assessed the damage. Trying to obtain three quotes for the pump which weighs over 1 ton and is now dismantled would be very expensive and would not produce an economic benefit to the County.
The impellers and wear rings could be replaced for $116,235.76 and an entire new bowl assembly which includes the new impellers is quoted at $127,726.
Due to the size of the pump and the critical need for it to be operational for long term, heavy use, staff recommends the entire new bowl assembly.
