RESOLUTION TO APPROVE PROJECT TO REPLACE THE VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFDs) AT WELL 13&14

Resolution #42-2023 — 2023-08-14

WHEREAS

the VFD at Well 13 is inoperable and unfixable and is necessary for the functioning of the Well
Well 14's VFD is operating but will need replacement soon due to age and currently functionality and Well 14 is located near Well 13
our Village Engineer, Delaware Engineering, recommends that the VFDs be located as close to the wells a possible and the VFDs are currently located at the Water Treatment Plant, approximately 200 feet away
the project was originally included in the scope of the SCADA project but the timing is now more urgent
the largest cost is the electric cost which includes excavation from the well to the WTP and installing conduit, installing the new VFDs at the wells, running fiber from the WTP to the newly located VFDs and making the connections. Delaware Engineering has received at least four quotes and Whalen Electric has the lowest bid at $16,200.00
there will be an additional cost to purchase the VFDs which will cost approximately $5,800

the project to replace the VFDs at Well 13 & 14 is approved to proceed now for a cost not to exceed $25,000
the mayor is authorized to award the electric work to Whalen Electric
the cost will be allocated to the Acct EW9710.8 – USDA Reserve
