Recommendation for Water & Wastewater Commission COA Strategic Direction: Health and Environment, Government That Works For All March 11, 2020 Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Purchasing March 26, 2020 Client: Danielle Lord, Ellery Studivant, Ayman Benyamin, Rick Coronado SUBJECT Recommend approval to negotiate and execute a contract with Lakeside Equipment Corporation, to provide a Raptor® fine screen with tank, in an amount not to exceed $130,000. AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Operating Budget of Austin Water. Sole Source N/A Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: March 11, 2020 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Sole source contracts are exempt from the City Code Chapter 2-9D Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program; therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. The contract is for the purchase of a replacement Raptor® screen cartridge and tank for use at Hornsby Bend Biosolids Management plant. The screen cartridge removes large objects, such as sticks, papers, various type of wipes and rags, bottles, and grit in the sludge that clogs the downstream pumps resulting in downtime and damaged equipment. Due to corrosion and general wear and tear, these parts are approaching the end of their life cycle making their replacement necessary to ensure proper function of the system. This sludge screening equipment was originally installed in the 1990's. Lakeside Equipment Corporation is the sole manufacturer and proprietary designer of the original and patented equipment and parts. The screen cartridge and tank cannot be retrofitted and are the only parts compatible with the existing equipment.
