CEQA Compliance:  Exempt under §15262.

 

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 4-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 recommends 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.
