NO. -047) <br /> <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Award a contract to Digital Electronic Services, Inc. to upgrade the motor <br />control center at the Garthe Pumping Station in the amount of $133,819. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division uses a variable <br />frequency drive to regulate the quantity of water pumped from most of the <br />City's wells and pump stations. Currently, the Garthe pump station does <br />not use a variable frequency drive. Installation of two variable frequency <br />drives at the Garthe pump station will allow the pumps to start smoothly, <br />use less energy and will reduce pressure surging into the water lines. In <br />addition, once the variable frequency drives are installed, the City will <br />qualify for an energy saving rebate of approximately $32,000. <br /> <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on March 17 and 20, 2006, and bids <br />were solicited.
