Recommend approval of Contract Modification No. 1 for pump repair for the President Street and Regional Plants with GoForth Williamson in the amount of $200,000.

The original contract was for pump repair at the City’s Water Reclamation plants. These pumps are critical components of the wastewater conveyance process. Timely pump repair and maintenance prevent sewage spills which can lead to compromised health and safety of City residents.

In 2019, each of the four treatment plants experienced unforeseen pump failures. Currently, the Water Reclamation staff continues to perform preventative maintenance on the systems; however due to age, wear, and tear, the systems will continue to fail if additional repair actions are not taken. This modification is needed to address the necessary repair measures.   

This contract was originally approved by Council on June 20, 2019 in the amount of $100,000.  The total amount of this contract to date, including this modification, is $300,000.
