July 1 Agenda Item – Award Bid for Bid Number B1444 Blower #1 Rehabilitation at Wastewater Treatment Plant |
Project Description
The Utilities Department received approval to bid the rehabilitation of Blower #1 at the wastewater treatment plant at the June 3 City Commission meeting. The rehabilitation is part of the preventive maintenance program. The blowers are a critical component to the secondary treatment process, so their continual operation is necessary for reliability of the treatment system and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. This is the only remaining blower of the three that has not been rehabilitated in the 15 years of service. Maintenance staff tracks the vibration analysis and trending to indicate when the blower needs to be rebuilt. The blower has currently been placed out of service to prevent any further damage. One bid was received from JCI Industries, Inc. in the amount of $17,333.
Project Funding
The work will be funded from the 2014 Operations and Maintenance budget.
