BACKGROUND:
Poplin Road Pump Station uses two Flygt pumps to transfer sewage from the Poplin Sewer Basin to the 12-Mile WRF. One of these pumps has failed and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Xylem Water Solutions USA is the sole provider of Flygt pumps in our region. Using a different manufacturer’s pump would increase costs for the County due to the need to replace several other components and requiring modifications to meet the specific requirements of the Poplin Sewer Pump Station.
We are requesting the Board to approve Sole Source Standardization for Flygt pumps manufactured by Xylem Water Solutions USA, for the Poplin Road Pump Station. This is in accordance with the Union County Procurement Policy, Section 3.8, Item iii, standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration.
We are also requesting approval to purchase a Flygt pump in the amount of $169,722.00.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding is available within the adopted FY25 UCW Budget to support the purchase amount of $169,722.00.
