Discussion was held regarding the two bids submitted by Quality Flow Systems and Electric Pump.  Dana Young asked Jerry Hudlow and Owen Fuglseth if the public works crew still preferred the control panel offered by Quality Flow.  Owen Fuglseth stated that the crew is familiar with the Quality Flow panels in the Greenwood lift stations and with their service department.  Jerry Hudlow stated that he also prefers Quality Flow to Electric Pump.

 

The Committee questioned why Quality Flow Systems official bid was approximately $10,000 higher than their original quote.  Dana Young left the meeting to call Jeff Seaton, Sales Representative with Quality Flow.  Dana Young stated that he was informed that the original quote did not include the cost of installing the panels.

 

The Committee recommended that the City Council approve the bid submitted by Quality Flow Systems, Inc. in the amount of $148,600.00 for nine lift station control panels on a motion by Jon Monson, seconded by Owen Fuglseth.  Motion carried 5-0.
