February 2, 1977 <br />TO: Thomas F. Lewcock, City Manager <br />FROM: James J. Kleinschmidt, Director of Public Works <br />RE: Pulling the pump and motor on Well No. 8, inspecting it, <br />cleaning it, and replacing impellers, shafts, bearings <br />etc., if necessary and reinstalling said pump and motor <br />The 1977 Water Budget includes $5,000.00 in Code 701 <br />Classification 4540 for pulling a pump and motor, inspecting <br />the same, cleaning and replacing defective shafts, bearings, etc. <br />Enclosed you will find four quotes for doing this work. I <br />recommend that Keys Well Drilling be awarded this work for the <br />low bid amount of $1,080.00. When this contractor pulls this <br />pump, we will inspect the shaft, bearings etc., to determine <br />if some of these parts need cleaning, repairing, or replacement. <br />We will then have the well driller do this work. This work <br />could add several thousand dollars to the cost of this work <br />or it could add nothing. Until we inspect the parts, we will not <br />know. We have 8 wells and we would like to inspect one or two <br />pumps every year until all pumps have been inspected. We would <br />then continue to inspect every pump once every 8 years. This <br />is preventive maintenance work and we hope to minimize emergency <br />repairs in the middle of the hot summer season when we cannot <br />afford to lose the use of any pump. Also, repairs made on an <br />emergency basis are more expensive. <br />JJK:bj <br />Attachments <br />ov <br />James Kleinschmidt <br />Director of Public Works <br />
