Report
Summary
The Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants are in the process of replacing EIM actuators that have failed due to control board and circuitry issues. These actuators open and close process valves and gates within the water and wastewater treatment process. The availability of EIM actuators and components is decreasing as they are no longer supported by the manufacturer and becoming obsolete. The Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants are converting two Rotork actuators which are supported by the manufacturer and are more cost efficient. The actuators will be installed by the WSD staff.
Procurement Information

Contract Term
The term of the contract is five years and will begin on Jan. 1, 2021.
Financial Impact
The contract value for T.W. Associates dba MISCOwater, will not exceed a total value of $260,000 over the life of the contract. Funding is available in the Water Services Department Operating and Capital Improvement Program budgets.
