Casey awards $3.049 million contract to replace Pump Station 1 pumps and controls
Summary
The council approved a $3,049,000 contract to State Utility Contractors to replace pumps, VFDs and controls at Pump Station 1; funding includes $1,047,217 in designated ARPA funds, a $540,000 EPA grant and $1,461,783 from the wastewater renewal/replacement fund.
City staff told the council that Pump Station 1 has experienced repeated failures and cannot reliably handle extreme flows during heavy rains because its pumps, variable-frequency drives and controls are past their useful life. "Pump Station 1 currently receives approximately 13,000,000 gallons per day of wastewater coming from the city and surrounding service area," staff said during the Aug. 21 meeting.
American Engineering Consultants designed replacement equipment and recommended awarding the work to State Utility Contractors with a bid of $3,049,000. Interim city manager (staff presenter) said the work will include new pumps, VFDs, controls and related piping with an expected additional 15–20 years of service life.
Staff recommended funding the project with $1,047,217 in designated ARPA funds and a $540,000 EPA grant, leaving a balance of $1,461,783 to be drawn from the wastewater renewal and replacement fund. Council moved, seconded and voted to award the contract and to authorize the interim city manager to execute the contract.
