SUMMARY
The Valle Vista Lift Station currently utilizes submersible pumps to pump wastewater to the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) for treatment and disposal. Currently, two of the four pumps are obsolete and must be replaced in order to avoid interruption of services. The City has standardized using Flygt submersible wastewater pumps, which are considered the industry standard and have an outstanding performance record in every sewer and storm water lift station. In addition, they require less maintenance with significant savings in electricity use. As such, staff recommends that the City Manager be authorized to execute the sole source purchase of this equipment from Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc., in an amount not-to-exceed $331,893.60. Council has previously approved funding for the purchase of this equipment as part of the FY 2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
