Title
Authorizing the expenditure of $26,000 from the Sewer Operating Fund for the purchase of bar screen parts from the original equipment manufacturer for the Bay View Pump Station; waiving the competitive procurement provisions of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Bar screens at the Bay View Wastewater Treatment Plant filter out large solid objects such as rags, plastics, paper, and other materials from the incoming wastewater. These materials would otherwise not be broken down by the treatment processes and would result in the plugging up of pumps and/or increased wear of the pumps. Either of these conditions would lead to the Plant not being able to treat all of the incoming wastewater. Headworks, Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer and sole source of replacement for bar screen parts at the Bay View Wastewater Plant. The parts are proprietary and patented, and the purchase of the parts must be done through their Ohio authorized sales representative, BL Anderson, Inc. The Division of Water Reclamation is seeking a contract with BL Anderson, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $26,000 for the purchase of parts necessary to repair the bar screens in order to maintain efficient operation of the Plant and protect downstream equipment. Funds are available in the Sewer Operating Fund.
