City seeks expedited repairs at Petro and Henrietta lift stations; staff to sign quotes
Summary
Engineering staff reported urgent repairs at Petro ($52,500) and Henrietta ($299,663) lift stations after contractor inspection; council consented to staff signing quotes to expedite replacements and bring formal approval at the next meeting.
Staff reported findings from a lift-station inspection recommending immediate work at two facilities. At the Petro Lift Station, contractor recommendations include replacing two base elbows and vertical piping with an estimated cost of $52,500. At the Henrietta Lift Station, the contractor recommended bypass pumping and replacing four flight pumps (more than 20 years old) with an estimated cost of $299,663. The work is budgeted in the sewer fund.
Given the condition and the operational importance of the Henrietta station, staff requested authorization for the city administrator (Steve, as referenced) to sign quotes now so the city can get a two-week lead time on equipment arrival; formal approval will be returned to council at the next meeting. Council members indicated consent for this approach, with one member suggesting the approval be retroactive when formal paperwork is presented.
