Recommendation
Staff recommends approval
Description/History
Pump 310 on the Upper-Pressure Plane High Service Pump Station had a mechanical failure that required rebuilding the pump. Maintaining system integrity and ensuring our ability to provide service to all of our customers is one of our top priorities. Having worked with Precision Pump Systems in the past and being on the BuyBoard, we called them in to diagnose our pump. Upon rebuilding the motor, it was determined that the motor failure was related to the wet portion of the pump needing to be replaced. With supply chain delays and unknown parts availability, authorization to move forward was given to rebuild the pump. This resolution ratifies that decision and supports the funding of this repair.
Justification
The Bud Ervin Water Treatment Plant consists of 10 high service pumps split between two pressure planes to supply water to all City of Mansfield residents. Pump 310, needing to be rebuilt, is one of four pumps on the upper-pressure plane pump station. These pumps are essential to daily operations and remain in compliance with TCEQ.
