Background/Discussion
The Southwest sanitary sewer pump station is one of the larger stations within the City’s sanitary sewer collection system and is critical to providing sewer service for the community.
The existing vertical 4-wire mechanical trash rack and controls within the station are dated and difficult to maintain.
The consultant will perform an on-site condition assessment of the pump station structure, control panel(s), MCC(s), and associated equipment to identify and evaluate alternatives. The proposed scope is to remove and replace the trash rack and controls, with another vertical trash rack utilizing proven and reliable technology that can be manufactured to work with the existing station.\
The project will remove the existing trash rack, and install a new vertical rake trash rack system with associated control upgrades. The station will operate more reliably after completion of these improvements.
Five firms from the City’s pre-qualified consultant list were asked to submit their qualifications for providing engineering services for the project. Three responses were received and reviewed by a three person committee. Each proposal was scored based on the team qualifications, past experience, project approach and understanding, and clarity, conciseness and organization of the proposal. McClure was selected as the most qualified to perform the work for this project. They have a clear understanding of the project, and have successfully completed several past projects with similar scopes.
This project was included in the FY25 CIP and includes a budget of $800,000 in Sewer funds.
