CITY OF
SOUTHLAKE
MEMORANDUM
(August 20, 2013)
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Director of Public Works
Subject: Authorize purchase and installation of soft start motor control
centers at pump station #2 with Brandon & Clark, Inc. in the
amount of $122,640
Action
Requested: Authorize purchase and installation of soft start motor control
centers at pump station #2 with Brandon & Clark, Inc. in the amount
of $122,640.
Background
Information: For the last two years, intermittent failures of the electrical
components which control the startup of the pump motors at
Southlake's pump station #2 have been experienced. Each of the
three pumps has its own motor control center which regulates the
voltage through the startup process and all three have failed on
more than one occasion. In an attempt to resolve these failures,
staff has sought the assistance of the motor control center
equipment manufacturer, as well as several electrical engineers
and experts from other agencies who are familiar with this type of
equipment. After trying numerous remedies to resolve the electrical
failures including the replacement of the electrical supply
transformer by Tri-County Electric, all involved ultimately suggested
replacing the existing reduced voltage auto -transformers with a
more modern solid state transformer called a "soft start".
Because the most recent failure at the beginning of the Summer
resulted in physical damage to one of the three pumps at pump
station #2, staff immediately moved forward with the purchase and
installation of the first soft start. Once the soft start was installed
and found to be operating properly, staff moved forward with the
authorization of the second soft start to improve system reliability.
The first installation has been operating without incident for 10
weeks and the second installation began on August 12t". The third
motor control is scheduled to be replaced after October 1, 2013.
These purchases are made available to Southlake through an inter -
local purchasing agreement with the City of Ft. Worth. The
purchase and installation of each soft start is quoted at a price not
to exceed $40,880 bringing the total purchase for all three
controllers to $122,640.
The purchase and installation of the first two motor controllers was
made under the emergency provision of City's purchasing policy as
a matter of public health and safety. Staff is now recommending
that the City Council ratify these emergency purchases and
authorize the third motor control to be purchased once funding for
the FY 2014 annual budget is approved.
Financial
Considerations: Funding for purchase of the first two controllers was available in the
FY 2013 operating budget for the Water Maintenance Division. The
third motor control will be purchased from the FY 2014 operating
budget of the same division.
Strategic Link: The maintenance of the city's water facilities links to the city's
strategy map relative to focus area of Infrastructure. The specific
corporate objective that is met by this approval is investing to
provide and maintain high quality public assets.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: N/A
Legal Review: Yes
Alternatives: The City Council may approve or deny this agreement.
