SUMMARY:
The ultra-violet (UV) water treatment unit at the Sleepy Hollow
Steelhead Rearing Facility (SHSRF or Facility) was recently upgraded to cope
with biofilm accumulation within the unit and to increase radiation dosage against water-borne
disease affecting Carmel River steelhead at the facility. Under normal operating conditions at the
facility, UV unit bulbs are expected to last about three years before coming to
end-of-life. Integrated Aqua Systems,
Inc. is the sole U.S. distributor for the unit and its replacement parts, which
are made in Italy by SITA (Società Italiana
Trattamento Acque – or in english, Italian Society of Water Treatment). The quote
for the parts ($8,979.44) is attached as Exhibit 3-A.
Staff notes that the 30-day quote expires before the Board meeting date.
Staff proposes to purchase replacement
bulbs and other necessary parts to have on hand in case of bulb failure during
operations and/or difficulties with finding replacement parts in the future or
with deliveries from the global supply chain.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administrative Committee should recommend
that the Board authorize the General Manager to purchase UV unit replacement
parts for the Sleepy Hollow Facility at an approximate cost of $9,000.
IMPACTS ON STAFF AND RESOURCES: Funds for this work are budgeted under Sleepy
Hollow Operations Budget Program line item 2-3-1-A Sleepy Hollow Facility
Operations General maintenance and operations.
