Resolution ratifying two (2) emergency purchase orders to NOV Process and Flow Technologies U.S., Inc., 1725 Q MacLeod Drive, Lawrenceville, GA 30043 in the amount of $62,396. The purpose of this request is to fully comply with the City Purchasing Code Section 30-52 (b) Emergency Purchases, which authorizes the City Manager to procure goods and services as necessary to effect emergency repairs or replacement of City equipment, facilities, and property. The Brennan Water Treatment Plant’s disinfection process currently needs an improved method of mixing chlorine and ammonia. The recommended solution is to replace a 48” ductile iron elbow with a tee to which a chemical mixer will be attached and installed to mix the chlorine and ammonia after they are injected into the 48” pipe. This request was to provide turnkey installation services that include: removal of a 48” elbow, installation of a 48” tee, purchase and attachment of a 10HP mixer, mount and connect all electrical equipment required, and removal and replacement of a section of sidewalk and road asphalt as needed. The need for improved chemical mixing at the plant is necessary to mitigate the formation of undesirable compounds and stabilize the effect of disinfection throughout the distribution system. Funds available in the Water & Wastewater 5% R&R Fund.
Recommendation: Business Enterprise Management Director recommends adoption of the Resolution.
