ITEM TIICLE:
Resolution /o ~j',f Approving transfer and expenditure of funds for
purchase of a diesel fuel pump
SUBMITT D BY: Director of Public Works Operations ~ (4/5ths Vote: YesX No )
~--
T e diesel fuel pump at the Public Works Yard, 's worn out beyond economic
r pair and needs to be replaced this fiscal year. It is my
COMMENDATION: That Council authorize the transfer and expenditure of funds
r purc ase of a diesel pump.
BpARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DaSCUSSION:
e diesel fuel pump at the Public Works Yard does not pump at an adequate
te. It pumps about 3 to 4 gallons per minute and should be pumping about 17
lions per minute. This causes an undue delay at the fuel island, especially
the end of the day when heavy equipment is fueled, resulting in increased
rsonnel costs for the City. Additionally, Aztec maintenance personnel are
ving to work about 1-1/2 hours overtime fueling their buses which could
timately result in increased costs to the City. The work hours lost while
iting to fuel will soon offset the cost of replacing the pump. Hence, I am
questing authorization to purchase the pump this fiscal year rather than
iting until budget time.
e diesel fuel pump has been repaired three times this fiscal year at a cost
$363.00. The cost to overhaul this pump will equal or exceed cost of a
placement pump. A replacement pump was not budgeted this fiscal year
cause I believed the present pump would last at least another year.
nds are available in the Equipment Maintenance Fuel Account 700-7000-5311
cause the price of gasoline has not increased as much as anticipated.
SCAL IMPACT: $1650.00 - Transfer funds from Equipment Maintenance Fuel
coun - 00-5311 to Capital Outlay-Other Equipment Account 700-7000-5568.
