Council approves $54,000 change order for park lift station pumps and generator
Summary
Engineers confirmed capacity issues at the park lift station. The council approved a $54,023 change order to install two 15‑hp pumps and a new generator to address head loss and capacity constraints.
The La Cygne City Council approved a change order to the sewer improvement project that will increase pump capacity at the park lift station.
Ponzer‑Youngquist engineers reported that the park lift station was reaching capacity given additional head loss in the force main. After evaluating options, the council approved Change Order #3 for $54,023 to install two 15‑horsepower pumps, upgrade controls and provide a new generator expected to restore and extend lift‑station performance. Engineer John Brann said the pumps should arrive in approximately eight weeks and the generator in roughly ten.
Why it matters: the upgrade is intended to resolve immediate capacity issues and reduce the need for frequent emergency interventions as development and usage grow. The council approved the change order and pay requests formally in a recorded vote.
