BACKGROUND: This legislation is for the option to establish a UTC contract for Seepex Pump Parts for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, the sole user. This contract will provide for the purchase of replacement parts for progressive cavity pumps used to convey secondary settled raw sludge from gravity thickening facilities to the sludge control buildings for dewatering at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant. The term of the proposed option contract would be approximately two years, expiring March 31, 2016, with the option to renew for one (1) additional year.
