Please include the following item on the City Commission Agenda for consideration at the February 7, 2012 meeting:

Set a bid opening date of March 13, 2012 for Bid Number B1213 for 2012 Utilities Department Pump & Motor Rehabilitation Program. Bid documents to be available Wednesday February 01, 2012.

Project Description

Utilities Department is requesting to bid forty two (42) pumps and motors (out of 532) for rebuild or replacement from the maintenance management system. These are the pumps and motors used in the transportation of water and wastewater used at the treatment plants and throughout the city. This is the Pump and Rehabilitation Program that the Department has used to maintain the reliability of the pumping system for numerous years. In an effort to consolidate and make the process more efficient for city personnel and vendors, the forty two (42) pumps and motors will be bid at once instead of individually, as had been done in years past.

Project Funding

Funding for the work is from the Utilities Department 2012 Operations and Maintenance Budget.

Action Request

Set a bid opening date of March 13, 2012 for Bid Number B1213 for 2012 Pump & Motor Rehabilitation Program. Bid documents to be available Wednesday February 01, 2012.

Thank you for your assistance. Please advise if you have any questions.
