SUMMARY
There are fourteen REXA valve operating mechanism actuators currently in operation at the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF). The performance of these actuators is essential for the proper function of two biological treatment unit processes. As part of the FY 2017 Capital Improvement Program, Council approved funding for the WPCF REXA Valve Replacement Project, 07692, in the amount of $235,000. REXA actuators were identified as part of the engineer’s design. The actuators have been in service for more than ten years and have proven effective. To date, the maintenance of these valves has consisted of parts replacement due to normal wear. Some of the units that are located outdoors and exposed to the elements, have begun to show signs of failure due to corrosion, and are due for scheduled replacement. Because of the superior performance of the REXA actuators, staff recommends executing a sole source purchase agreement with REXA Electraulic Actuation, in an amount not to exceed $235,000.
