Re: Village Parkway Pump Station
Addition of Pump Number 4
Dear Mr. Griffin:
We are now in receipt and have reviewed the Operation and Maintenance Manuals for the Benshaw motor
control center and the test report of the cables for the Addition of Pump Number 4 to the Village Parkway
Pump Station, submitted by Architectural Utilities, Inc. This is the last submittal required in order to final
and close the project. By copy of this letter, we have forwarded six sets to Mr. Glenn Hollowell, P.E., for the
City's records.
Pump Number 4 was placed into service on June 1, 2000 and the project was determined substantially
complete at that time with only the ancillary work and punch list items to complete. It is our understanding
the final punch list items dated June 8, 2000 are now complete to the City' s satisfaction. Record drawings
were delivered to Mr. Larry Davis on June 13, 2000 and electronic files were delivered to Mr. Marco
Martinez at the City' s Engineering Department on June 20, 2000.
As a reminder, on May 22, 2000 AUI made us aware of the conflict with the isolation butterfly valves
installed under this contract and the existing steel pipe mortar linings. We responded with written direction
for corrective measures suggested. Corrections were made to the discharge piping for Pump Number 4, but it
is now apparent the isolation valves installed for Pumps 1,2 and 3 were damaged when forced open by City
personnel and are not sealing properly. We are enclosing copies of correspondence with documents this
Ot. rt~situation and recommended resolution.
