PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None.
BACKGROUND
The City of Laredo Utilities Department obtained three (3) cooperative contract quotes for the purchase of two (2) submersible pumps. Staff is requesting approval to purchase these pumps from the second lowest quote submitted by Zone Industries. These replacement pumps are the exactly the same as the existing ones and will not affect the current effluent flow system already in place. Purchase from the lowest quote would result in a retrofit of the current engineered system, and would require new construction plans for its installation adding time and money to replacement of the pump base and related appurtenances.
