Body

SUMMARY: 

Flygt AC (Allis-Chalmers) Pumps are standardized in the City’s wastewater facilities for filter effluent and backwash pumping applications due to the reliability of the pumps and to facilitate operational and maintenance efficiency.  Hudson Pump & Equipment is the sole regional distributor of Flygt equipment and services, a division of Tencarva Machinery Co. LLC of Greensboro. NC.

 

ITT Goulds Pumps are standardized in the City’s wastewater facilities for transferring and pumping water throughout the plants and holding tanks. Goulds pumps are also utilized at the City’s water wells to supply raw water to the plants for treatment into safe drinking water. Hudson Pump & Equipment is the sole regional distributor of ITT Goulds equipment and services, a division of Tencarva Machinery Co. LLC of Greensboro. NC.

 

Standardization of pumping equipment reduces redesign/retrofit of the piping systems and overall downtime, which is critical to maintaining regulatory compliance.  Standardization also reduces the required stocking of parts, replacement pumps, training, and the cost of maintenance operations. Replacement of existing pumps with other manufacturers’ equipment would require re-engineering and modifying existing piping, fittings, and electrical systems.

Budgeted funds are available in Public Utilities operating cost centers 550400 Operating Supplies & Materials to cover the cost of the contract for FY23.
