Body

 

Background Information:

The Dunn Offsite Reclaimed Water Pump Station Improvements: The pump station was originally constructed in 1987. In 1998, modifications were made to add four strainers on the discharge side of the pumps. Components including the vertical turbine pumps, electrical gear and strainers have reached the end of their useful service life. The pump station provides Reclaimed water to the north county’s public access reuse system as well as providing critical in-plant water needed to support various treatment processes.  The pumps are not able to operate in the preferred operating range and therefore are not able to provide the design flow rates needed. Recently, the pumps have required significant maintenance and have been rebuilt multiple times. 

The Purchasing Division issued an invitation to bid on June 3, 2024. Two submittals were received with award recommendation to TLC Diversified, Inc. as the lowest responsive responsible bidder.
