Request to proceed to Request for Proposals for Water Plant valves and actuators
Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Interim Purchasing Agent to solicit Requests for Proposals (RFP's) to install replacement valves and actuators for the Rio Bravo Water Treatment Plant to provide compliance with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (T.C.E.Q.) requirements.

Issue: Current valve and actuator sets are pneumatic and have not been working for approximately Seven (7) years. This has led to material degradation and stoppage of pneumatic. Therefore the plant cannot operate under automatic backwash conditions as originally designed. Project is estimated at $125,000.00.

Solution: Replace Twenty (20) pneumatic valve and actuator sets with newly functioning electrical sets including installation.

Result: Upon completion of this project, violation can be cleared and electrical control will reduce the need for air compressor services.
