ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON DISCUSSED THE NEED FOR A <br />PUMP AT THE LANDFILL AS PER THE FOLLOWING MEMO FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR: <br />October 31, 1978 <br />� MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Jack G. Jennings, County Administrator <br />SUBJECT: Landfill Pump <br />The pump at the Landfill that is used for de -watering the <br />borrow pit is too small to adequately do the job. Rainfall, <br />seepage and an uncovered stream has produced more water than <br />anticipated. <br />Two pumps have been used previously at the landfill. Both <br />of these are Road and Bridge Department assets. They are rated <br />about 4,000 GPM and because of the overload, fail often and <br />require repairs. A 12,000 GPM pump is required to do the job. <br />This size pump and engine required to drive it will cost <br />approximately $30,000. It will also take six to eight months <br />for delivery. Pump specifications and request for bid is being <br />published. <br />Money that may be used to purchase the pump is provided for <br />in the renewal and replacement fund established by the initial <br />bond issue. Therefore, it is requested that upon receipt of these <br />bids, the Commissioners will choose a supplier and authorize the <br />purchase of this pump. In the interim, using funds provided by <br />the operating reserve of the original bond issue, the County <br />Administrator will lease a pump required to continue landfill <br />operation. <br />Any comments regarding this action would be appreciated; <br />0 <br />Jennings, C n Administ r <br />. JGJ/ep - , <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED WHY THE FUNDS FOR THE PUMP COULD NOT <br />BE OBTAINED FROM THE NEW EQUIPMENT ACCOUNT. <br />$ MR. NELSON EXPLAINED THAT THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR <br />RESEARCHED THIS, AND IT IS HIS RECOMMENDATION THAT THE PUMP BE PURCHASED <br />OUT OF THE RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT FUND BECAUSE BY THE TIME IT IS <br />OBTAINED, WE WILL HAVE COMPLETED A YEAR'S OPERATION OF THE SANITARY <br />LANDFILL AND WILL BE REPLACING THE PUMP. <br />74 <br />NOV 1 197 gg p <br />
