RE: Replace Pumps at Stations 2 & 4; Proposal 24-17967
DearJason,
Thank you for allowing JETT Pump & Valve, L.L.C.to provide you with the following proposal for your consideration. We value you as
a customer and appreciate your business.
Summag of Services & Diagnosis:
Per your request, JETT Pump & Valve is proposing the replacement of the pumps in stations 2 & 4 with Keen chopper pumps.
Chopper pumps allow for debris that would typically clog a regular impeller to be chopped up into smaller pieces to allow it to pass
through the pump with no issues. The Keen pumps also have a higher ?ow rate than the existing Gorman Rupp allowing for shorter
runs times on the pump cycles.
Scoge of Supply: Station 2
As per the station speci?cations, JETTPump and Valve is proposing the following:
Two (2) Keen Chopper Pumps
-
4" Discharge, 5Hp, 3Ph, 230V, 1750RPM, 6.5" Impeller
Two (2) Motor Start & Overloads for Control Panel
—
Due to the slight differences in amperages between old and new pumps we will increase the size of the motor
starts and overloads for the station to operate properly.
Lot (x) Installation Materials
- 4" Ductile Iron Elbow, 8" x 4" Reducing Filler Flange, 4” Weld Pipe, 4” Weld Pipe Flanged (Slip—on& Spigot),

Clarifications:
The following are clari?cations that we use for all repairs and service work as well as clarifications relating to the specific
requirements of this proposed project:
- If this project has been identi?ed as a ’confined space’ and there are hazards that cannot be mitigated resulting in a 'permit
required confined space', we will need to stop work and return at a later date once the hazards have been addressed and
removed by others or with additional crew and equipment to perform the work safety. If we are required to return to site,
additional charges will be incurred. These hazards include but are not limited to; valves that will not isolate, residual sludge
Page 14 of 24
materials, and not controllable electrical disconnects.
-
Unless expressly indicated by the customer, all existing materials being replaced will be scrapped after their replacement.
-
JETT Pump will not warranty repairs if a customer opts out of a portion of the proposed repairs.
-
JE7T Pump & Valve, L.L.C.,upon approval of the proposal, may install the control panel or VFD,the conduit to the wet well,
and make proper connections to the level controls IF required by this proposal, however, all electrical permits and other
servicing must be done by others. JE‘IT Pump & Valve, L.L.C.can collaborate closely with the electrician on-site to ensure
proper installation.
—
Delivery will be determined at the time of order for the longest lead time item. The project timeline or any deadlines must
be advised ARO. Expedite fees and premium service rates are not included in this proposal.
-
Terms are NET30 days from date of invoice.
-
JETTPump & Valve, L.L.C.withholds the right to add additional charges if our terms of payment, as stated above, are not
met. Charges will be made at a rate of 1.5% ofthe unpaid balance from the date of invoice.
- Currently Jett Pump does acceptall forms of credit cards for payment. A 3% fee will be assessed against the total amount
charged. it would be in addition to any amount quoted unless otherwise stated in the proposal and our contracts.
—
Allwork will be done in a timely and professional manner. If any problems or concerns arise an advising call, fax, or email
will be sent.
-
Freight and Taxes are included in our pricing unless expressly indicated.
—
Freight is an estimate and is subject to change.
-
This proposal will be good for 30 days from the date of bid. This proposal is subject to the Terms & Conditions set forth by
JETTPump & Valve LLC.
-
"Asspecified” is based on our interpretation of plans. We ask for field measurements and other veri?cation (quantities,
descriptions, etc.) which are to be con?rmed by others.
- Any additional time, or return trips, to finish the installation and commissioning will be charged at our current hourly rate,
this will include driving time.
-
Submittals will take approximately one week to complete.

Subject: Holiday Closure Info
Good Afternoon Ross,
We are in the process of updating our employee handbook and one item we are reviewing is our holiday
closure schedule.
Historically, we have only closed for major holidays such as Christmas, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving,
Memorial Day, etc... However, we are evaluating whether to adjust our schedule to align with other local
municipalities. For example, Clare County and Hayes Township both closed for Presidents Day, and will
close for MLK day, Juneteenth, and Veterans day and we do not close for any of those.
However, we do close for Good Friday and Deer Day, which they do not.
Would you be able to provide a list of holidays that the Village of Farwell closes for?
Thanks!
