Mayor __ J <br />Councilmen present: <br />and Larry McGee. <br />and Acting City <br />Mayor Graham stated the purpose of the meeting was to consider <br />authorization to advertise for bids for pumps for the Sewer Lift <br />Station. <br />Acting City Manager Greene advised the Council that an emergency <br />situation exists at the Campbell Lift Station in that the pumps are down <br />at the present time. <br />Dan Brotton, Director of Public Works, stated that this station had been <br />down on several occasions in the past twelve months for various reasons, <br />but the primary reason being that the present pump is "-too small to <br />handle the flow and has to run constantly resulting in burning out of <br />the motor. <br />He state he had located two 8 ", 60 HP used pumps which could be <br />purchased for $7,200.00 and would have a 1 year warrant which could <br />be delivered within two weeks. <br />He explained that the two 8" pumps would provide adequate flow at <br />the Campbell Station and increase the capacity at the Woodard Station <br />to handle the increased flow generated by the Kimberly Clark Plant. <br />An alternate plan would be to purchase a new 6" pump to replace the <br />one at the Campbell Station and wait to correct the situation at the <br />Woodard Station. This would be the least expensive, approximately <br />$5,000.00 for the two. Delivery of a new pump would take from 6 to 8 <br />weeks. <br />City Attorney Haynes entered the Council Room at this, point and took <br />his seat. <br />Mr. Brotton recommended buying the two 8" pumps as it would solve <br />two problems. <br />Following discussion, Councilman Wilson made a motion to authorize <br />emergency purchase of the two 8" pumps if delivery could be made <br />within 3 weeks and to authorize bids for a new 6 ", 30 HP pump <br />should delivery time be longer. Councilman McGee seconded the motion <br />which carried 5 ayes, 0 nays. <br />There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. <br />i <br />JOE GRAHAM, MAYOR, CITY-OF PARIS <br />ATTEST: <br />JOE N.
