Pump cost
(OP)
Can anyone recommend a website or manufacturer that can supply a pump cost? We are looking at replacing an existing pump and well constructed in 1962. Our client needs to establish a budget for the well replacement costs. The budget needs to be approved by its Board of Directors before design & construction. I know pump costs change but we just need something to put in the budget.

I have contacted 5-6 local pump suppliers and all of them are reluctant to provide a quote because we are not inquiring about a purchase. Unless you are a contractor or some entity that is ready to purchase the pump, they don't even want to give a ballpark number.

Seems to me that this looks like a genuine enquiry for a pump order in the near future.
If all else fails - let me know what you need and I will ask a supplier (Australia) for a price - no problem from here.

If you haven't already done so, contact your local Goulds Industrial pump rep (find them at www.gouldspumps.com). Give them the details, and ask for a budget quote. Done all the time.
If that doesn't work, and you have a couple of weeks (I'm really busy right now), shoot me an email, and give me the details, and I'll come up with at least a ballpark estimate.
RE: Pump cost
You can have an estimate of the cost of your new pump by one of two ways (for budgetary effects an error of +-30% in the initial estimation is commonly accepted so you won´t have problems):
1) If you know the cost of the pump in 1962 you can, using CEPCI (or other index like that - you can use the attached file), have a nice estimation of the current price of that pump:
Today's cost = 1962 cost * (CEPCI 2008/CEPCI 1962)
2) You can use a cost estimation expression like the one attached, developed by the US National Energy Technology Center:

Note: In this study the prices are for 1998, so you'll have to apply the expression in 1).
I hope my answer helped you.
