Award a contract to Irvine Pipe & Supply, Inc. for the purchase of variable
speed digital pump drives in the amount of $12,437.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division uses chlorine generation
units to treat water pumped from most of the City's wells and pump
stations. The existing pump drives in the chlorine generation units
operate with low efficiency and need to be replaced in order to maintain
system reliability. Once installed, the variable speed digital pump drives
will improve the accuracy of the chlorine generation units and the
operating efficiency of the City's water production system.
