The 6th Avenue sanitary sewer pump station is the third largest station in the sanitary collection system with nearly 35% of the city’s sewage passing through this station.  Through the process of collecting and treating wastewater, nuisance odors are emitted and often become a point of concern.

 

 Larger pump stations, like 6th Avenue, can be equipped with an air scrubber system to reduce the foul odor issues.  The station still has the original odor control units constructed in 1992. This project will replace the system which has now exceeded its service life limit. The newer technology of a modern air scrubber system will provide more reliable and improved odor control for the surrounding neighborhood.

 

 The project will also include the necessary modifications to the electrical motor control center to accommodate the new system.

 

 This project was included in the FY24 CIP and is funded with Local Option Sales Tax funds.

 

The project schedule is as follows: Award July 14, 2025
Construction Start August 2025

 

 

Recommendation

Approval of this resolution to accept the bid of Building Crafts, Inc. for the 6th Avenue Pump Station Odor Control project.
