SUMMARY: Pump No.1 at pump station OB -1 has been in service since 1999, and is continuing to
have mechanical issues on a consistent basis and is reaching the end of its useful life.
The current pump No.1 is a Fairbanks Morse 100 HP dry pit submersible pump, and we are
proposing to replace it with a high efficiency 85 HP Flygt dry pit submersible pump from Whitney
Equipment Co., Inc. in the amount of $77,560.48, including Washington State sales tax and freight.
This will complete the pump upgrades at this station, as we have previously replaced the other two
(2) pumps with Flygt pumps.
I have reviewed the current pricing and discounts with Whitney Equipment, which are beneficial to
the City. The reasoning and intent of Resolution No. 3165 are applicable to this purchase. We still
recommend the purchase of Flygt pumps as we have strived to standardize all of the City's pumps
with Flygt for ease of maintenance and repair parts. Under the circumstances, it is in the City's best
interests to purchase the pumps through direct negotiation, pursuant to BMC 2.76.090 and 2.76.010.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Staff Memo; 2) Proposal from Whitney Equipment Co., Inc.; and 3) Resolution

FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): This pump purchase is budgeted through the 2017
WW CIP and has a budgeted amount of $250,000. The total cost for the purchase of one (1) new 85
HP Flygt dry pit submersible pump is $77,560.48, including Washington State sales tax and freight.
