Description

This is to procure a 12’ mechanical bypass pump for Lift Station 193 with Mersino in the amount not to exceed $109,997. The pump will be an emergency backup in case of electrical and generator failure for Lift Station 193. The lift station will have increased flow due to the new Hyundai Plant requiring a much higher pumping capacity than currently available through existing bypass pumps. Having this pump in place will ensure the uninterrupted flow of sewage to the Travis Field Wastewater Treatment Plant via Lift Station 194 preventing a massive sewage spill if the lift station electrical and generator systems go down.

Co-op contract # FSA23-EQU21.0 expires September 30, 2025.

Delivery: As needed. Terms: Net 30 days. The vendor is:

C.P. Mersino (Conyers, GA)(D) $109,997
