Description

This is for the purchase of a Walker Gear Drive Assembly for the Water Reclamation Plant in the amount of $27,950 from Walker Process Equipment.

 

The gear drive assembly drives the main rake in the clarifier. The rake is an internal component that removes the settled sludge from the bottom of the clarifier. On a daily basis, 900-1100 gallons of sludge are removed from the clarifier. This assembly has been in service since 1994. Failure to remove the proper amount of sludge will result in bio-solid carry-over and denitrification which can result in permit deviations.  

 

This is a sole source procurement because this vendor is the only proprietary supplier of these parts.
