Wastewater Department
Raw Sewage Pump Suction Cover Assembly
To approve the purchase of one new Raw Sewage Pump Suction Cover in the
amount of $15,800 from Xylem, of Woburn, MA. Funding will be through:
Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Account Category: 54 Property
Services.
Vendor Quote
During routine replacement of the wear plate in Raw Sewage Pump number one
(RSP-1), it was discovered the wear plate had completely worn and the impellor
had been in direct contact with the pump assembly. This caused wear on the pump
suction cover, taking it out of specification and no longer allowing us to reinstall a
wear plate effectively.
With no wear plate, we are without Raw Sewage Pump number one (RSP-1),
creating a handicap for the facility. We are proposing to purchase a direct from the
manufacturer replacement at a cost of $15,800. Our intention is to immediately
install this equipment, and determine if the current one can be machined to create
an onsite spare. Flygt is the brand of the Raw Sewage Pumps and Xylem is the
parent company, creating a sole source purchase.
