Department/Division: Water Services <br />Project/Initiative Title: Valve Operator and Vacuum Excavator <br />Total Estimated Cost: $70,000 <br />Funding Source: Water Fund (Fees) <br />Annual Operating Budget Impact: N/A <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Project/Initiative Description: <br />City staff is requesting a new piece of equipment to be purchased through the Water Utility Fund for the <br />purpose of maintaining and testing the 1,600 valves across the City. Larger valves are very difficult to <br />turn and requires a great deal of repetitive motion. Using a valve operator will make the operation quicker, <br />safer, and prevent repetitive injuries amongst the maintenance workers. <br /> <br />The vacuum operation will allow staff to clean out around the valves in order to better maintain and repair <br />the valves. It can also be used to clean out catch basins and other utility structures. <br /> <br />Location: <br />Not applicable. <br /> <br />Item 7: Attachment A <br />47
