<br />Lift Station Memorandum <br />January 17, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />As part of the standardization ofthe City's lift stations, we have specified two compatible pump <br />manufacturers. 1 believe we would see some reduction in the pump system costs if we rebid the project <br />with a wider field of pump suppliers. This action would complicate maintenance activities in the years to <br />come and would conflict with a central goal of the lift station rehabilitation program which is to increase <br />standardization. The Operations and Maintenance staff do not support this option. <br /> <br />Next Steps <br />After consulting with City staff and reviewing the most recent financial data, we cannot recommend <br />proceeding with four lift stations at this time. Remaining options are to delay all four lift stations until a <br />future year, or proceed with the base bid and do two lift stations. Staff is requesting additional time to <br />analyze cost implications overall to the sanitary sewer fund before making a final decision. The terms of <br />the bidding require that Contractors may not withdraw their bids for 60 days from bid opening. Based <br />upon the bid opening for this project the Council will need to take action regarding the bids no later than <br />February 13, 2006. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
