INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES TO: Members of the Board of Public Works Michael Schmidt, Assistant City Attorney Public Works Theresa Heffner, Clerk of the Board of Public Works FROM: Jacob M. Klosinski, P.E., Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT: Agenda Request — Professional Services 124-058 Locust Water Booster Pump Station Improvements (PROJ# ; PR# DATE: November 5, 2024 The Division of Engineering and Division of Water Works request the Board of Public Works open and received public quotations for the Locust Water Booster Pump Station at its Regular Meeting on November 12, 2024 Background The City of South Bend Department of Public Works, Division of Engineering, and Division of Water Works have been working with Donohue & Associates to provide an improved pumping configuration for the Locust Water Booster Pump Station. Since the pump station was built, the impact of the pump station has resulted in very little impact to the water distribution system because the pumps that are in the booster station are not able to effectively overcome of the head pressures or pipe restrictions in the water distribution system to provide any significant improvements to pumping in this area of the City. This is partly due to the pump selection by the initial designer and partly due to pipe size restrictions in this area of the water distribution system that results in friction losses. Please note that a project is being added to DFO by the financial officer so the project can be tracked. A purchase requisitions will be entered once quote award has been confirmed post -bid review. Funding for this project was provided through Water Works Capital — Capital, Account 622-06-604-620-442010. For questions regarding the subject Agenda Request, contact Jacob M. Klosinski (Ext. 9496) at the Division of Engineering.
