Up until that <br />time the City had several different types of pumps, different controllers and different software <br />operating the controller. Through several months of evaluating different pump and controller <br />manufacturers, including site visits to two repair facilities, the Public Works Department <br />developed a standard for all lift stations. <br /> <br />Since that process was completed, the City totally rebuilt three of our oldest lift stations (#1, #12 <br />and #13) and retrofitted six others (#2, #4, #5, #7,#8 and #9). In addition, the City changed the <br />way the lift stations are monitored by converting all 14 stations to the Omni System. <br /> <br />The proposal includes an optional piece of equipment that will sense a power failure and <br />automatically start a generator. Staff believes that this is an important option to include and is <br />most economical to incorporate this with the initial construction as the control cabinet size needs <br />to accommodate room for the automatic transfer switch. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A: Electric Pump Proposal for the pumps and control panel for Lift Station #11 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS – 8B <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
