Pump Statton I STAFF SOURCE Stewart H. Fonda , Dlroctor of Utilities COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS, COUNCIL ACTION Council approved purchase of val14ble frequency drive units for the Allen Filter Plant on November 5, 1990 , RECOMMENDED :.CTION The Utilities De~artment staff recommends Council approval by Resolution for the purchase of a variable frequency drive and amp surge suppressor from Ryal Electric in the amount of $30, 112.40 . BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS , AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED The Unlor, Avenue Pump Station has three 250 hp pumps. One pump has a soft starter for energy savings , bu1 is on a fixed speed . The other two motors share one variable frequency drive that allows running only one pump at a time . Variable speed drives are needed to match the flow produced to the flow required by the pretreatment units . The Un ion Avenue Pump Station Is the sole water provider from the S Platte River to the Allen Filter Plant, as ide from the City Ditch that can be used only In the summer. This is made even more critical because of the new construction at the Allen Plant ; the North Reservoir will be out of service for an extended period of time for cleaning and maintenance . Even aft er maintenance is completed , the North Reservoir will only be used as an emergency water supply, The amp surge suppressor will be required for the periodic power surges at Union Ave from Public Serv ice and will pro .eel the integrity of the drive. FINANCIAL IMPACT The suggested supplier, Ryal! Electric is recommended as a sole •sourc~ supplie r in the amount of $30 ,112.40 . Ryal! Electric has provided a written statement that they are the sole supplier and the quoted price is the lowest available . They will not be selling the same equipment to anyone e!se (like a sub-contractor) at a cheaper price . We '1ave previously purchased 12 VFD drives from this supplier and found the equ ipment to be satisfactory with exemplary service from both the local supplier and the corporate headquarters . In an emerge ncy, technical support and parfs would be available in 24 hours from their Golden office .
