REPLACEMENT OF TWO (2) SEWER PUMPS LOCATED AT COMPTON
CITY HALL ($28,950.00)
SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached resolution will amend the General Services 2023-2024 Fiscal Year Budget and authorize the City Manager to establish a purchase order to Cevac Facilities Services in the amount of Twenty-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars and Zero Cents ($28,950.00) for the replacement of two (2) sewer pumps located at Compton City Hall.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton owns certain real property located at 205 South Willowbrook Avenue, known as Compton City Hall. City staff examined the sewer pumps located in the mechanical room on the basement floor and determined that the sewer pumps were malfunctioning due to improper disposal of hygiene products. Prioritizing the replacement of the sewer pumps is essential for the effective management of wastewater, ensuring the smooth operation of the restrooms.
Staff obtained quotes from Cevac Facilities Services, Mr. Rooter Plumbing, and Rescue Rooter to replace the two (2) existing sewer pumps.
The following vendors provided quotes for repairs:
CONTRACTOR AMOUNT
Cevac Facilities Services $28,950.00
Mr. Rooter Plumbing $35,260.56
Rescue Rooter $56,300.00

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The sewer pumps are crucial in maintaining the functionality and efficiency of city infrastructure. They are vital components of wastewater management systems, facilitating the smooth transportation of sewage from lower to higher elevations and ensuring the proper functioning of municipal sewage systems.
On December 20, 2024, staff inspected the sewer pumps on the basement floor at Compton City Hall and determined that the pumps were malfunctioning. Replacing the sewer pumps is critical and should commence as soon as possible to prevent backups and overflows. Without proper pump functionality, sewage may accumulate, leading to blockage, spills, and potential environmental hazards. The maintenance team has temporarily shut down the men’s and women’s restrooms in the basement to reduce the potential overflow risks. A properly functioning sewer pump is required to reduce public health and safety risks. Effective wastewater removal prevents the spread of diseases, safeguarding the well-being of Compton City Hall personnel and visitors.
Staff reviewed quotes and has determined that Cevac Facilities Services is the most responsible vendor for this project and requests that this item be approved by an emergency measure for the preservation of public, health, safety, and welfare.
Compton City Charter Section 1409 states, contracts likewise may be let without advertising for bids, if such work shall be deemed by the City Council to be of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health or property, and shall be authorized by motion passed by at least four affirmative votes and containing a declaration of the facts constitution such urgency.
ALTERNATIVE
No other alternative is offered at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT
Insurance recovery funds were provided by Lexington Insurance Company in the amount of $655,254.52 for claim 2660846043US and were deposited into the insurance recovery account number 1001-000-000-3751 on January 16, 2024. Staff has identified that repairs for certain projects through the insurance restitution have been completed, and/or other funds have been selected for those projects, therefore, creating an opportunity to redirect funding to City facilities with a critical need to reduce property damage and health and safety risks.
