Agenda Item Summary:
The City of Rapid City has determined the need to procure the variable frequency drive (VFD) equipment needed to replace the existing Well 12 VFD. Well 12 is a critical water supply which provides service to thousands of customers southwest Rapid City. The VFD has reached the end of its useful life, parts are becoming obsolete, and supply chain issues are jeopardizing continued level of service.
Equipment procurement directly through the City through the competitive sealed proposal process will shorten the equipment procurement timeframe and work to mitigate impacts of long equipment lead times and supply chain issues with the intention of replacing the VFD and redundant components to be in service prior to peak summer 2023 demand months.
Once the VFD equipment is procured by the City, the City plans to advertise for an installation contract to install the City procured equipment.
