Replacement of Pump at Northgate Pump Station
To approve the purchase of a Fairbanks brand vertical solids handling pump from

be through Department 169 Wastewater.; Fund: Wastewater; Account Category:
71 Equipment.
Quote
The Northgate Pump Station is the biggest pump station within the City and
operates with two pumps - one in use and one as a backup. It is currently running
one old pump and one new pump. The Wastewater Facility would like to purchase
a spare new pump to have on the shelf in the event of a failure. The lead time on
these pumps is 12-14 weeks, and if there is failure of the pump station, it could
mean no sewer services for any of the connected area, including Nashua South.
The Fairbanks brand vertical solids handling pump that is in the attached quote is
a direct replacement to the failed pump. Hayes Pump, Inc. is the local distributer
of Fairbanks, making this a sole source purchase.
