The City of Yakima (City) owns and operates the Rudkin Road Lift Station for the conveyance of wastewater from Union Gap and areas of south Yakima to the Yakima Wastewater Treatment Plant. One of the lift station pumps failed and an emergency replacement was required to restore lift station pumping capacity. The Wastewater Division followed the City's Emergency Purchase policy in arranging the purchase of the replacement pump and associated materials.
The final cost of the replacement totaled $51,679.79, resulting in the need to seek ratification by City Council via Resolution, in accordance with City of Yakima Administrative Code ADM 3-500 City/County Procurement Manual which requires approval by City Council for emergency costs exceeding $50,000. The approved Emergency Justification form, Purchase Agreement, and Purchase Order are attached for City Council review. The emergency pump replacement is funded through Wastewater Capital Fund 472. |
