Resolution 11598CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 11598
AUTHORIZING THE EMERGENCY REPAIR OF PUMP AT
BRIDGEWAY SANITARY SEWER PUMP STATION PURSUANT
TO SECTION 3 -15 OF THE CITY CHARTER, FUNDED
FROM THE SEWER SERVICE FUND
WHEREAS, the Bridgeway Pump Plant, located at Bridgeway
Road and Packet Landing Road, is the major pump plant for moving
sanitary sewage from Bay Farm Island to the East Bay Municipal
Utility District operated pump station at Krusi Park; and
WHEREAS, on October 24, 1988, the Public Works Department
was advised that there was 3 to 4 feet of sewage on the pump
floor of the Bridgeway Pump Plant; and
WHEREAS, investigations determined that one of the two
50 -HP pumps had been substantially broken; and
WHEREAS, since these pumps alternate every other pumping
operation, every time the broken pump tried to work, the majority
of the sewage flowed onto the floor; and
WHEREAS, since the operation of this pump plant is of
major importance and since it was not reasonable to allow this
plant to operate with only one pump, which was known to be of
questionable condition, it was necessary to make an immediate
emergency repair or replacement of the broken pump; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that PACO Pumps of Oakland,
the major supplier of pumps for Alameda's pump plants, could
repair the existing pump at a cost of $8,904.91 and funds are
available in the Sewer Service Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City
of Alameda that pursuant to Section 3 -15 of the City Charter, the
Public Works Director is hereby authorized to make such public
work without contract in the open market.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the expenditure of $8,904.91
for the subject pump repair is hereby authorized and approved
with the project cost to be funded from the Sewer Service Fund.
I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing
Resolution was duly and regularly adopted and passed by
the Council of the City of Alameda in regular meeting
assembled on the 15th of November, 1988,
by the following vote to wit:
AYES: Councilmembers Arnerich, Camicia, Monsef, Thomas
and President Corica - 5.
NOES: None.
