Randazzo noted that grinder calls were extremely high during the two week period of average temperatures during the middle of July. The DPW staff saw a lot of power related issues and Randazzo notified DTE of the problems. MOTION BY HOHL, SUPPORTED BY MENZIES TO NOTE THE DPW MONTHLY REPORT AS RECEIVED AND TO BE FILED AND TO ALSO FORWARD A COPY TO THE TOWNSHIP BOARD AS AN AGENDA ITEM FOR THEIR REVIEW. B. DH Simplex Grinder Pump Purchase Request. Campbell explained that at this time the Township has only eight (8) Simplex grinder pump stations available in inventory. With the current rate of construction and new sewer connections the Township will run out of grinder pumps in the next couple of months. The current charge for the sale of a grinder pump station for individual sewer connections is $2, This price was set in 2012 by the Township Board until the current inventory is depleted. Campbell has requested a quote from Dubois-Cooper & Associates for a full truckload of the new DH grinder pump stations. The cost per grinder pump station has increased recently to $2, per station with the purchase of a full truckload which consists of 59 grinders with a 50 cable and a 2-year warranty. Campbell suggests that the Township maintain the current resale price of $2, per station. This would provide the Township with a $ inventory/handling fee for each simplex grinder pump station versus the previous handling fee of $ The Committee reviewed the issue of the inventory/handling fee and Podvoyski confirmed that the new fee of $ would be adequate to cover the staff time for unloading and loading the pump stations and for inventory storage. Hohl noted that the resale cost of the grinder pump stations will likely have to be raised the next time the Township has to purchase the Simplex grinders. Page 3
