Council approves engineering proposal to design Main Lift Station renovation
Summary
Council approved a not‑to‑exceed $47,000 engineering proposal from Bolton and Menk to design replacement pumps and other upgrades at the city’s aging main lift station on Kasuth Avenue.
The Marshall City Council approved a not‑to‑exceed $47,000 engineering proposal from Bolton & Menk for preliminary design and bidding work on the Main Lift Station near Justice Park, staff said.
Nut graf: The station, placed in service in 1972, handles sanitary sewer from roughly two‑thirds of Marshall and requires pump replacements and other system updates, Wastewater staff told the council.
Wastewater staff described the Main Lift Station as originally built in 1972 and serving about two-thirds of the city. Scott Truetz said the station’s pumps have been rebuilt many times and staff want to replace four pumps, check valves and update drawings for an older submersible lift station dating to 1958. The work is anticipated in the 2026 capital improvement program; staff recommended starting design and bidding now to secure better pricing next year.
Staff proposed an hourly‑basis, not‑to‑exceed agreement with Bolton & Menk for up to $47,000 of engineering services; the wastewater budget included $60,000 for engineering services. A council motion to approve the proposal carried.
Ending: Staff said they will proceed with the design work and bring future construction bids back to council under the 2026 CIP schedule.
