CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS MEETING OF JUNE 1, 2021 TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff FROM: Tim Nyander, Utilities Director DATE: May 12, 2021 CITY COUNCIL MEMO SUBJECT: Purchase of Two Denitrification Pumps for the Paul R. Noland WRRF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the purchase of two replacement pumps from Jack Tyler Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $117,034.00 plus applicable taxes and freight charges for the denitrification process at the Noland WRRF, and approval of a project contingency in the amount of $17,555.10. BACKGROUND: Nitrates are essential plant nutrients, but in excess amounts they can cause significant water quality problems. Together with phosphorus, nitrates in excess amounts can accelerate the richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, causing dramatic increases in aquatic plant growth and changes in the types of plants and animals that live in the stream. Denitrification is the microbial process of reducing nitrate to gaseous forms of nitrogen, which removes it from the treatment process and returning it to the atmosphere. To accomplish denitrification at the Noland plant, the wastewater is pumped through a dissolved oxygen free zone (anoxic) where the bacteria is forced to use nitrogen for respiration, removing it from the wastewater and releasing it to the atmosphere. DISCUSSION: One of the two denitrification pumps at the Noland Plant failed and was sent out to JR Stewart Pump & Equipment for hidden damages evaluation. The quote for repairs was $71,345.99, plus applicable taxes and shipping charges. The regional pump supplier, Jack Tyler Engineering was asked to provide a quote for a replacement pump because the repair costs seemed high. The cost of a new pump is $58,517.00, plus applicable taxes and freight charges. The equipment is a FlygtTM pump, which has a specialized volute and motor arrangement for the application at the Noland Plant. Furthermore, the manufacturer's representatives for FlygtTM work in established territories, and Jack Tyler Engineering is the Flygt representative for our area. Therefore, a bid waiver is requested for this purchase. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 During the research and discovery process to finding the best value for the City the second denitrification pump failed. We now have two failed pumps. The pumps are critical for the process. The process issues that may develop from the lack of denitrification pumping would be loss of the conversion to nitrite and further denitrification of the mixed liquor. Currently, the plant processes have been adjusted to reduce the amount of nitrogen build-up, but this is a short-term solution. The total cost for two pumps would be $117,034.00 plus taxes and freight charges. Additionally, due to the volatile nature of materials purchases that is occurring in the market, it is requested to add a 15% contingency of $17,555.10 for a total amount of $134,589.10 plus applicable taxes and freight charges. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: Funds are available in the Plant Pumps and Equipment project within the Water & Sewer Fund. ��Net E lg - JACK TYLER ENGINEERING, INCORPORATED 6112 PATTERSON AVENUE, LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72209 (501) 562-2296 FAX (501) 562-4273 WATTS 1-800-562-2296 � a Ooorpove QUOTATION NUMBER: SJ3821 D QUOTATION DATE: March 8, 2021 PAGE: 1 OF 2 TO: City of Fayetteville Noland Treatment Plant 1400 N Fox Hunter Road Fayetteville, AR 72701 ATTN: Josh Alleman COPIES: James Spann Phone: 479-502-0963 Email: Joshua.alleman@jacobs.com Noland Denitrification Pump: FLYGT model 3301 NP818-14 60/460V/3Ph/60Hz, with FLS, 14" discharge, suitable for VFD service and 50ft of cable.
