RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Leed Electric, Inc., to upgrade the motor control
center at Wells 28 and 38 in the amount of $317,076.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division operates 21 water wells
that provide approximately 70 percent of the City's water supply. The
Agency is upgrading the motor control centers at the wells located at 730
Memory Lane and 2736 N. Cambridge. A variable frequency motor drive is
used to regulate the quantity of water pumped from most of the City's wells
and pump stations. Currently, Wells 28 and 38 do not use variable
frequency motor drives. Installation of variable frequency motor drives at
Wells 28 and 38 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 $73,000.
