PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members
of the City Council with information for the purchase of sole
source equipment replacement for the Water Department .
BACKGROUND
The Water Department uses Wallace & Tiernan 1000 lb/hr lime slakers
at the Airlite Water Treatment Plant . Lime slakers convert calcium
oxide into calcium hydroxide for the softening process . The lime
slaker creates a by-product, "grit" , which is separated and removed
by a "grit remover" . The grit remover can only be replaced with
one manufactured by Wallace & Tiernan.
Peterson & Matz Inc. , of Elgin IL, is the authorized Wallace &
Tiernan representative for this area and is the sole source of the
equipment . A letter from Wallace & Tiernan confirming this is
attached. Peterson & Matz, Inc. has provided a quote for
replacement of the grit conveyor. Option #1, which includes
standard steel construction, costs $9, 688 . 98 plus freight . Option
#2, which identifies housing construction using 304 stainless
steel, for a discounted price of $11, 272 . 00 plus freight . Two of
the existing five grit conveyors used in the Water Department have
been replaced using stainless steel construction.
