Replacement of Differential Pressure Flow Transmitters
Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to award Sendero South Company (Los Fresnos, Texas) our annual contractor, the amount of $15,220.00 for the purchase of materials, installation and calibration of Five (5) Rosemount Differential Pressure Transmitters for replacement of existing non-operational transmitters without calibration detail. This equipment is needed to be able to provide automated filter controls. [Account #745-3001-8801-7 (Capital Outlay Water Utilities)]

Issue: The Rio Bravo Water Treatment Plant utilizes differential pressure transmitters to provide flow measurements of the four (4) gravity filters and one (1) backwash pump. This equipment is needed for added manual control of the water being filtered but also needed to place filter backwash service back under standard controls.

Solution: Purchase five (5) new transmitters and have annual contractor install them fully calibrated.

Result: This will provide us with the next steps to gain automation at the plant and identify flow going through filters.
