RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Digital Electronic Services, Inc. to upgrade the motor
control center at the Garthe Pumping Station in the amount of $133,819.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division uses a variable
frequency drive to regulate the quantity of water pumped from most of the
City's wells and pump stations. Currently, the Garthe pump station does
not use a variable frequency drive. Installation of two variable frequency
drives at the Garthe pump station will allow the pumps to start smoothly,
use less energy and will reduce pressure surging into the water lines. In
addition, once the variable frequency drives are installed, the City will
qualify for an energy saving rebate of approximately $32,000.
