RESOLUTION 24R-101

APPROVING PURCHASE OF A NEW FLYGT MODEL SR-4670 SLUDGE STORAGE SUBMERSIBLE MIXER PUMP FROM XYLEM WATER SOLUTION USA, INC. FOR WASTEWATER, TREATMENT PLANT #1- 151 ROYCE ROAD:

Motion Quintero, second Doris to adopt a resolution approving purchase of a Flygt Model SR- 4670 sludge storage submersible mixer pump from Xylem Water Solution USA, Inc. for treatment plant #1 - 151 Royce Road:

The current mixer is not functional, resulting in poor mixing of the storage tank, which creates odor issues. Inadequate mixing can also lead to non-compliant sludge samples required by the IEPA and USEPA, potentially causing farmers to reject them for land application.

APPROVING PURCHASE OF A DRI-PRIME NC150S DIESEL PUMP FROM XYLEM WATER SOLUTION USA, INC.

Motion Kelly, second Carpanzano to adopt a resolution approving purchase of a Dri-Prime NC150S diesel pump from Xylem Water Solution USA, Inc.

The current pump was purchased 20 years ago and has become worn, unreliable, and difficult to source replacement parts for. A reliable and efficient pump is essential for improving emergency utility services. Additionally, having dependable backup pumps is a requirement outlined in the Village of Bolingbrook's Capacity Maintenance Operating and Management (CMOM) Plan. In the event of a catastrophic incident at either a lift station or a treatment plant, a reliable backup pump is crucial. The total cost for the new pump is $53,466.45, which is $19,019.55 under the budgeted amount of $72,486.00. Reviewed and approved by Public Services Committee.
