From: Mike
Thornton, Purchasing Manager, for
Jimmy
Feagle, Deputy Director Public Works
Subject: Purchase request 44585
by the Public Works Department for the purchase of lift
station remote telemetry units from the Sanders Company, Inc.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff
recommends approval of a purchase request by the Public Works
Department/Wastewater Division for the purchase of three lift station remote telemetry units and six new lift station
retrofit kits to the Sanders Company, Inc. for a total amount of $49,782.00.
Analysis:
The
Remote Telemetry Units (RTU) are used to monitor what is happening at
individual lift stations within the Leesburg wastewater system. The RTUs transmit the data collected to the
wastewater Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). Wastewater operators can then respond to
events requiring a response. Without the
RTUs, the data cannot be reported back to the operators.
The
nine Remote Telemetry Units (RTU’s), (three new units and six retrofit kits) will
be installed by City forces. The three new
RTU’s will be installed at lift stations within Highland Lakes that currently
does not have remote monitoring. The
remaining six new RTU retrofit kits will be used to retrofit obsolete D620I
controllers at existing lift stations.
This
is a single source purchase, as Sanders Company, Inc. is the exclusive designer and provider
of the SCI-TEXT product line. A letter
of sole source provider has been provided by Sanders
Company, Inc. and is
attached for reference.
Options:
1. Approve the purchase to Sanders Company, Inc.
for $49,782.00,
or
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may
deem appropriate
Fiscal Impact:
The purchase
cost of $49,782.00 will be funded by $50,000.00 that is specifically budgeted
for this purchase in the current fiscal year.
