RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Irvine Pipe & Supply, Inc. for the purchase of remote
water chillers in the amount of $15,980.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division uses chlorine generation
uni ts to treat water pumped from most of the City's wells and pump
stations. The units automatically shut off when the water temperature
exceeds a specified level. The recent high air temperatures caused the
uni ts to shut off repeatedly. Installation of the remote water chillers
will allow the units to have a higher tolerance for warm weather. As a
resul t, the units will last longer, and operate more efficiently during
warm weather.
