Resolution approving a purchase from Ovivo USA, LLC, Order Entry Administrator, 4246 Riverboat Road, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84123-2583, in the amount of $1,460,543.  The Brennan Water Treatment Plant utilizes three softeners to remove hardness in the raw water.  Softener No.3 is the largest of the three softeners.  It has failed to operate due to worn, corroded, and aged (more than thirty years old) mechanical parts.  An assessment of the equipment and the gear drives determined that a complete rebuild is needed.  Ovivo is the manufacturer and the sole source to replace this equipment.  Funds available in the 5% Renewal & Replacement Fund.
