Body
Dear Sir:
Authority is requested to add Contract 19-717-21 Furnish, Deliver and Install an Upgraded Operator for TARP Gate I at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant, to the Construction Fund, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
This Contract is to remove the existing hydraulic operator and accumulator assembly for TARP Gate I at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant and install an electric actuator. In addition, the Contractor shall block open and decommission five redundant hydraulic sluice gates at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant. The existing gate operator is beyond its useful life, requires frequent repairs, and requires some proprietary parts which are no longer supplied by the original equipment manufacturer. The replacement will increase equipment reliability and reduce maintenance and downtime.
The estimated cost of this Contract is $450,000.00.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, EJS:SO’C:MAG:JR:JMC:WB
Respectfully Submitted, Frank Avila, Chairman Committee on Finance
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for May 2, 2019
