Ratification of Emergency Purchase for a Centrifuge Scroll (Replacement) for the Water Resources Department (Citywide)
This emergency purchase provided a replacement thickening centrifuge scroll at Northwest Water Reclamation Plant. Given the 26 to 30 week lead time to manufacture a new scroll, and that we are already 12 weeks behind schedule for placing an order due to protracted contract negotiations between the City and GEA, the order needed to be placed immediately. It is critical to avoid reaching the end of service life on the current scroll to maintain ongoing treatment operations at the plant.
The Water Resources Department and Purchasing recommend ratifying the purchase with GEA Mechanical Equipment US, Inc., at $400,000.
