BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Water Utilities Department currently maintains four APG-Neuros (Neuros) Turbo Blowers that need specialized preventive maintenance performed through an asset management service agreement. These blowers supply air to the San Luis Rey Water Reclamation Facility (SLR WRF) Plant 1 and Plant 2 Aeration Basins. Blower air must be supplied 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
SLR WRF has been utilizing the four Neuros Turbo Blowers since 2020. This service agreement with Neuros will ensure the blowers are adequately maintained. Because Neuros is the exclusive distributor of the four blowers, including parts and programming, staff is requesting the City Council approve this procurement as a sole source per City Code Chapter 28A.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Neuros service agreement for four blowers is $71,326 per year, for a total contract amount not to exceed $356,630 for the five-year term. The first year of the service agreement will be funded from the SLR Maintenance and Operations account, 800805721.5320, which has an available balance of $2.07M; therefore, sufficient funds are available.
