IREPORT To the Honorable Mayor and .C.,ity Council From the City Manager July 15, 2002 Subject Utility System Pump and Flap Gate Repair Recommendation By motion, authorize the repair / reconditioning of various sized water, storm and sanitary sewer pumps and storm pump station flap gates to Pump Repair Service Company of Daly City, CA for $138,728. Background Redwood City currently has 128 water, sewer and storm pumps housed in 58 pump stations throughout the City, including the three new storm and sewer stations in Pacific Shores. Each pump is controlled and operated by either electric motor or by diesel engine, with some pumps operating continuously while others operate on an as-needed basis. These pumps require periodic maintenance, repair and / or replacement. Each year the Public Works Services Department develops a list of the most commonly repaired or reconditioned pumps that may be needed during the new Fiscal Year. When a pump fails, staff cannot immediately determine whether the pump needs complete replacement or repair. The pump first must be pulled and dismantled, and a failure analysis completed by a technically qualified vendor, who then will make recommendations to staff. The bid also contains provisions for the replacement and installation of flap gates at five storm pump stations. Staff required.vendors to submit individual prices for the repair / reconditioning of existing pumps and replacement and installation of various sized storm flap gates. The cost of reconditioning a utility pump varies from$5,670 to $8,240. The cost for the replacement and installation of the storm pump station flap gates ranges from $2,902 to $6,105. The below listed bids reflect the total dollar amount of maximum repairs anticipated for assessing bids. Actual costs will be variable and historically are less than the bid amount. The City Clerk advertised the bid invitation for one month and the bid was mailedto three vendors. The one bid received was opened by the City Clerk on Wednesday, May 22, 2002 and is considered a valid bid. · Pump Repair Service Daly City, CA $138,728 · Peninsula Pump & Equipment $o San Francisco, CA No Bid · E & M Electdc Healdsburg, CA No Bid Pump Repair Service Company is able to provide the full scope of services to the many different types of sizes of pumps in our utility system.

Purchase of new pumps is not included in the bid. New pump pumhases in water and storm made in prior years lessened the need for new purchases this fiscal year. Secondarily, this year repair and replacement of ITT Flygt Submersible pumps for sanitary
