BACKGROUND <br /> The proper operation of the City's pressure reducing stations are critical in maintaining <br /> adequate working pressures in the City's water system. Pressure reducing stations are <br /> used in areas of lower elevation to that of the water supply source and function to <br /> reduce water pressure to adequate values. Pressure reducing stations also help control <br /> flow under abnormal operating conditions such as fire flow scenarios. The pressure <br /> reducing stations at Golden Eagle Estates have control valves that are significantly <br /> beyond their useful life and have deteriorated to the point where replacement is the only <br /> viable option. Replacement of the control valves will extend the life of the pressure <br /> reducing stations and allow continued proper operation. <br /> The City previously entered into a purchase order agreement with R&B Company for FY <br /> 2018/2019 with a not to exceed limit of $85,000 for the purchase of goods to facilitate <br /> maintenance of the water system. Recently, two pressure reducing stations at Golden <br /> Eagle Estates experienced control valve failures that require replacement. Staff <br /> received bids for these replacement items and the lowest bidder was R&B Company at <br /> a cost of $85,763.11. An amendment to the original purchase order agreement with <br /> R&B Company from $85,000 to $170,000 is required for purchase of these pressure <br /> reducing station repair goods, as well as purchase of other miscellaneous goods <br /> required for maintenance of the water system throughout the remaining portion of the <br /> fiscal year. <br /> Submitted by: Fi cal Review: Approved,by: <br /> I4P-1 <br /> Kathleen Yurchak Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Operations and Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Water Utilities <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
