INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this agenda item is to approve a quote for the Lift Station L16 VFD
Replacement and Back-Up Control System. Previously on November 15, 2011, City
Council authorized staff to obtain quotes for this project.
BACKGROUND:
On November 15, 2011, staff presented a proposal from WSB and Associates to replace
the variable frequency drives for the three pumps in L16 and to install a back up control
system as recommended in the emergency management plan for L16. Plans have been
prepared by WSB and Associates and quote proposals were sent out and quotes received
by three contractors. The quotes received are as follows:
Planholder Bid Amount
Total Control - $48,272.00
InControl $77,850.00
Automatic Systems $43,355.00
The engineers estimate for this project was at $80,000 and this was an estimate to be on
the high side depending on the availability of parts. During the consultation with the
design engineer, the quote proposal amount for $43,355 is an acceptable amount and the '
recommendation is to proceed with the project.

of $43,355.00 for the Lift Station L16 Variable Frequency Drive Replacement
