Four years prior to the <br />county taking over, the plant was expanded, including the head works rag removing bar rack and grit <br />removing Pista Grit chamber. The chamber removes the grit from the incoming wastewater before it <br />enters the plant process. Over the last 25+ years, the equipment received routine maintenance, but the <br />equipment is beyond its useful life span of 10-15 years and is in need of total replacement. This is a sole <br />source item due to the structure being built for Smith & Loveless equipment. Sanders Company is the <br />exclusive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) municipal representative. <br />FUNDING: <br />Funds for this project are derived from the R&R operating funds. Operating funds are generated from <br />water and sewer sales. <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />South WWTF Grit Removal <br />47123536-044699-17516 <br />$86,924.00 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The staff of IRCDUS recommend that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) waive the bid requirement <br />and authorize the Purchasing Division to issue a purchase order to the Sanders Company for $86,924.00 <br />forthe OEM Smith & Loveless Model 7 Pista 270 Grit Chamber, and authorize the County Administrator to <br />sign the sales agreement, after approval by the County Attorney. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.
