The request of Building Maintenance for authorization to purchase
two replacement pumps and float assemblies for the Five Sullivan
Brothers Convention Center was reviewed. There are four wastewater
pumping stations located in the basement level of the convention
center, sewage sumps 1 and 2 and bilge sumps 1 and 2 . Each pumping
station utilizes two pumps with floats, alarms and switching
mechanisms. Building maintenance requested assistance with the
repair from the Wastewater Treatment staff. The pump was pulled
and it was noted that it had deteriorated beyond repair and staff
recommends a replacement system that is more efficient and cost
effective than the original system. The original float systems
were ball and stem floats that caused considerable down time and
floor flooding due to higher than anticipated water flows through
the sump. Winterbottom Supply, Inc . has quoted a price of
$8, 000 . 00 to purchase the pumps and assemblies, and it was the
recommendation of Building Maintenance that said quote be approved.
Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that authorization be given to
purchase said replacement pumps and float assemblies at a cost of
$8, 000 . 00 . Ayes : Three. Motion carried.
