body
DEPARTMENT: Water Utilities
SUBMITTED BY: Darrell Blenniss, Director
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Water Utility operates and maintains 47 water supply sites and wastewater pumping stations throughout the city. In support of the City’s priority to provide infrastructure and utilities that are reliable and safe, in March 2024 the Water Utility worked with Graybar to inspect and evaluate all critical electrical components at each water/wastewater site.
These inspections revealed that the main electrical disconnect switches are obsolete and can no longer be serviced or repaired at three water supply sites and one wastewater pumping site. If these switches fail, the sites will no longer operate, which will affect the reliability of the water supply and wastewater pumping systems.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has identified an approved cooperative contract, Omina Partners Public Sector, Contract EV 2370 through Graybar. Graybar will supply and install new upgraded electrical disconnect switches at the above water/wastewater sites. These new switches will meet the National Electrical Code. The Water Utility has worked with Graybar on several other projects with satisfactory results.
The term of the contract is from the date of award to December 31, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP# WU038 & WW034
Electrical systems and components for the water supply and wastewater sites are budgeted as part of the department’s capital improvement programs. The budget includes $350,000 for electrical equipment and controls required for system rehabilitation at various waterworks and sanitary lift station sites. The requested award is accommodated within the budget.
