Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The City of Hollywood, Department of Public Utilities operates a Deep Injection Well Pump Station at the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWWTP), located at 1621 North 14th Avenue, Hollywood, Florida 33022, as the primary method to dispose of treated effluent.
Deep well pump number three (3) provides operational flexibility for the disposal system at the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWWTP) and is part of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection mandated redundant system.
On Friday, December 27, 2013, deep well pumping unit number three (3) failed during routine operation as the drive shaft snapped damaging the impeller and breaking the volute of the pump.
The damaged pump is part of a system of similar pumps that form a network of equipment engineered for a common cause and must be replaced with an identical pumping unit because of the unique characteristics, design limitations and overall layout constrains of the existing Deep Injection Pump Station.
Flowserve Pumps is the manufacturer of all three deep well pumps and Carter & Verplanck, Inc. is the sole source exclusive representative of Flowserve Pumps in the state of Florida.
In an attempt to do repair versus replacement evaluation, Carter and Verplanck, Inc. provided repair costs of $151,277.00 for deep well pump number three (3), inclusive of parts and labor but excluding mounting of repaired pump to the pump base, connecting repaired pump to existing piping and alignment services.
