Title
One-Year Renewal of the Term Contract for Centrifuge Parts and Service for the Water Resources Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
A total of nine centrifuges are used with four located at the Northwest plant and five located at the Greenfield Plant. Centrifuges are large pieces of machinery that thicken and dewater sludge, which increases efficiency and lowers hauling costs. Because of the fine tolerances needed to keep the equipment working properly, it is critical that manufacturing specification be maintained by using factory authorized service and parts.
Water Resources and Purchasing recommend authorizing a one-year renewal with the sole source vendor/contractor, GEA Mechanical Equipment US, Inc., at $400,000.00, based on estimated requirements.
