Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared to furnish and deliver four bio-filter pumps to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to procure four self-priming, end suction pumps and motors for the humidification chambers of the gravity thickening building at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. The existing units failed within two years of being put in service due to high Hydrogen Sulfide concentration and the pumped water having a low Ph. The new pumps will be installed in the dry well adjacent to the humidification chamber in order to remove the pumps from the humidification chamber’s harsh environment.
The estimated cost for this contract is $145,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $7,250.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement, and the Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D are not included in this contract because it is for furnishing and delivering equipment.
