Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 17-712-21, Furnish and Deliver Two Submersible Pumps to the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The project consists of procuring two new submersible pumps and appurtenances to replace the existing process water pumps at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant. The existing process water pumps have proven to be unreliable and problematic. The new pumps will have a semi-open channel impeller, which will increase pumping efficiency from 38% to 62%, resulting in an annual energy savings of approximately $16,000.00.
The estimated cost for this contract is $80,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $4,000.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because it is a furnish and deliver contract for equipment.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D, will not be included in this contract because it is a furnish and deliver contract for equipment.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:

Award September 14, 2017
Completion December 31, 2017
