Subject:

Discussion with possible action authorizing the purchasing agent to purchase three (3) 50 horsepower motors from Dynamic Pump Systems in the amount not to exceed $37,569.00 in accordance with the Webb County purchasing rules and regulations. [Account #7200-7050-001-470000 (Utilities Operations Capital Outlay)]

Issue: Replacement and upgrade of existing motors for River Intake Submersible Pumps is recommended to provide for water delivery from River to Plant for treatment. Existing motors have been failing for two (2) years and with this upgrade, we can provide for improved performance and consistency.

Solution: Replace failing motors with new stronger motors.

Result: Improved pumping consistency with the ability to obtain more competitive pricing for the repair of these new motors.

Background:
