Council authorizes Woodlands Pump Station project and engineering contract
Summary
Council authorized the Woodlands Pump Station Improvements capital project (budgeted $500,000) and approved negotiating a professional-services agreement with Park Hill Corporation for up to $104,250 to design the pump station intended to remedy South Side water pressure problems.
The Graham City Council authorized the creation of the Woodlands Pump Station Improvements capital project and approved staff to negotiate and conclude a professional-services agreement with Park Hill Corporation (Arlington) not to exceed $104,250 (including a 5% contingency) for engineering services related to design of the pump station. The capital project is already included in the adopted budget with a $500,000 allocation.
Staff described the project as a public-works priority intended to alleviate persistent low water pressure for residents on the city’s South Side and credited Public Works Director Randall Dolfin for developing a viable concept. The item was presented as supporting strategic priority number 2 (water resources and infrastructure) and council approved the motion by recorded voice vote.
Next steps include finalizing the engineering contract, proceeding with design work, and scheduling work consistent with the Virginia Street waterline timeline and other water projects that staff said will continue over the next months.
