AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Prepared By: J. Lemons Reviewed By: A.Carlson Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to purchase equipment to service vault <br />toilets and to hire a contractor for transport. <br /> <br />2. Background. There are two vault toilets located within the Orono parks that require pumping <br />service. Most barge operators do not have the ability to carry a large septic truck to pump out the toilets. <br />Several smaller barge operators are able to go out with a smaller pump and container to service the toilets. <br />The city does not currently have the necessary equipment to service the toilets. One of the toilets is at <br />capacity and the other is nearing capacity. <br /> <br />3. Equipment Cost. <br /> <br />Vendor Description Cost <br />Wastecorp Mud Sucker Pump w/trailer $6633.47 <br />Quality Flow Systems Submersible Sewage Pump $6500.00 <br />National Tank Outlet 1000 gallon plastic septic tank $3000.00 <br /> <br />4. Transport. Transport to the island will require a barge that can carry the tank and equipment needed <br />for the pumping. Staff contacted various barge operators and most are not able to meet the requirements <br />for the pumping service. Tonka Built LLC was the only barge operator able to meet our requirements. <br />Tonka Built sent a quote for service amounting to $15,600 to complete the pumping. The price may <br />decrease as the original quote factored in for a smaller tank, the larger tank will require fewer trips. <br /> <br />5. Funding. The equipment purchase will be funded through the Park fund. The projected end of year <br />balance for this fund is $369,600. The transport will be funded from the Park Operating Budget. <br /> <br />6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the purchase of the submersible sewage <br />pump from Quality Flow Systems for $6500.00 and the plastic septic tank from National Tank Outlet for <br />$3000. Staff also recommends hiring Tonka Built for transport. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve the purchase of the submersible pump from Quality Flow Systems for $6500, the <br />plastic septic tank from National Tank Outlet for $3000, and to hire Tonka Built for transport. <br /> <br /> <br />Item No.: 9 Date: September 12, 2022 <br />Item Description: Park Equipment Procurement <br />Presenter: Joshua Lemons <br />Parks & Golf Superintendent <br />Agenda <br />Section: <br />Consent Agenda
