PINTO_ <br />DIRECTOR OF UTIL±VICES <br />JOHN FREDERICK LANG ;,/ <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: SOUTH COUNTY REVERSE OSMOSIS PLANT, MEMBRANE <br />REPLACEMENT <br />BACKGROUND <br />The original membranes at the South County Water Plant are <br />approaching the end of their life span. The plant has no spares <br />left. Eight (8) membranes are starting to fail. Arocon, a factory <br />licensee of Dupont, the manufacturers of our membranes, has nine (9) <br />membrane bundles for sale. They overbought for another project in <br />Sarasota, Florida to receive a substantial price reduction. They <br />are willing to offer them at manufacturer's cost to the County to <br />get them off of their inventory. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The Department of Utility Services needs spare membrane bundles to <br />ensure continued water production. The price quoted is $70.00 less <br />than our purchase of September 20, 1988 from Culligan International. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners approve the emergency purchase of nine (9) <br />membrane bundles for the South County Reverse Osmosis Water <br />Treatment Plant at a cost of $34,380.00. Membranes shall be <br />purchased for the Reverse Osmosis Plant utilizing earmarked Removal <br />and Replacement funds. Balance of Removal and Replacement funds as <br />of February 17, 1989 was $469,869.00. <br />68 <br />
