| | Subject: | Authorize issuance of an emergency purchase order with Flo-Services for a pump repair at the Tiffany Sewage Lift Station. (Cost: $61,895.23) (Action Item) | Date: | 8/22/2023 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To receive Sanitary District Board authorization of an emergency purchase order for a pump repair at Tiffany Sewage Lift Station. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Garden Grove Sanitary District (District) operates three (3) sewage lift stations, which include Partridge Lift Station located at Partridge Street and Garden Grove Boulevard, Tiffany Lift Station located at Tiffany Avenue and Valley View Street, and Belgrave Lift Station located at Belgrave Avenue and Valley View Street. The District’s sewer system is designed to make use of existing gravity levels; however, at certain intervals the sewage flow needs to be lifted or pumped to a higher elevation to continue flowing by gravity to the Orange County Sanitation District’s sewage treatment collection system. On August 18, 2022, a pump failure had occurred at Tiffany Lift Station.
|
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Staff solicited repair services from Flo-Services. The pump had to be repaired by rebuilding the pump. Parts were ordered from a foreign country and due to supply chain issues, it caused significant delays. The pump also had extensive damages and it took additional time to rebuild it. An invoice was issued by Flo-Services, Inc. in the grand total amount of $61,895.23 for the emergency service. This emergency work is necessary for the proper operation of this sewage lift station. Failure to conduct this emergency work may have resulted in sewage spills. Hence, affecting the safety, health and property of the community at large. Therefore, staff is seeking to designate these costs as emergency repairs and issue an emergency purchase order.
|
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of this emergency repair totaling $61,895.23 will be absorbed in the District’s adopted FY 2023-24 operating budget. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Sanitary District Board:
- Authorize the Finance Director to issue an emergency purchase order with Flo-Services for a pump repair at Tiffany Sewage Lift Station, in the amount of and not to exceed $61,895.23.
