Purchase of Variable Frequency Drives (Replacements) for the Water Resources Department (Sole Source) (Citywide) The Brown Road Water Treatment Plant must replace the Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) serving the washwater recovery basin pumps, as well as the six VFDs operating the flocculator drives for basins 1-6. The existing drives have exceeded their useful life and have become increasingly unreliable due to age and component obsolescence, making ongoing maintenance difficult. These VFDs play a critical role in regulating pump flow and controlling flocculator mixing speeds (functions essential to maintaining stable treatment processes), consistent water quality and compliance with regulatory standards. The Water Resources Department and Procurement Services recommend awarding the contract to the sole source vendor, Border States, at $157,000 based on estimated requirements.
