MEMO FROM: Steve Brown
Assistant Operations Mgr.

SUBJECT: Replacement of Pump Station Alarm Panels

cluase be advised that as a result of a pump failure at the Brand Sanitary
Pump Station of February 19, 1990, in which no audio alarm was received at the
Fire Hall, Standard Electric was called upon to investigate and initiate
repairs, It was determined that the audio alarm module to the E.S.C. Control .
Panel monitoring six sewer Lift stations and the Citadel Water Booster
Station, was faulty and requiring immediate replacement.

Failure to immediately replace the equipwent may have resulted in damage
to private property and possible liability claims, as a result of pump
failures which would have been undetectable to our staff.

Terry Day, the City's Purchasing Manager was informed of the urgency of
the necessary remedial work. Subsequently a new panel was purchased and
installed.

A list of the total equipment and labour costs are submitted below for
your review:

Total hardware including panel package $4,900.00

Total labour including all repairs and modifications $2,400.00
TOTAL $7,300.00

Additionally, it is recommended that all of the existing hardware be
transferred to completely renew the system to the Edwards 6500 Alarm Panel.
The cost of completing this portion of the necessary work will add $4,800.00
to the repairs.

Respectfully submitted,

Mitgn Lamasers
