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 wastewater entering the pump station is screened for solids and debris. This removal process protects the pumps from clogging and limits the potential for damage. Larger stations, like Southwest, utilize a mechanically operated trash rack to clean the screens.  This project will replace the trash rack system which has reached its service life limit. The newer technology of a modern trash rack will provide reliable removal, handling, storage, and disposal of the screenings.

 

 The project will include the necessary modifications to the screenings room and electrical controls to accommodate the new system.

 

 This project was included in the FY25 CIP and has a budget of $600,000 in Sewer funds.

 

 

The project schedule is as follows: Award June 23, 2025
Construction Start July 2025

 

 


Recommendation

Approval of this resolution to accept the bid of Minturn, Inc. for the Southwest Pump Station Trash Rack Rehab project.
