CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING WSB
& ASSOCIATES TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING
SERVICES FOR THE 2003 LIFT STATION REHABILITATION
PROJECT, CITY PROJECT NUMBER 03-05
HISTORY
Staff has identified the need to rehabilitate a number of lift stations in the
2002 and 2003 Capital Improvement Plan. Staff has been working on an
audit of all the lift stations in the past year to ascertain the status and
inventory the components of each lift station. This has shown that there is a
significant need for major renovations to a number of lift stations. Staff is
trying to put together a more comprehensive management and rehabilitation
plan and schedule than what has been done in the past due to the age and
condition ofthe majority of the lift stations.
In 2002, due to Craig Eldred's leadership, Public Works Maintenance
repaired in house two lift stations that were failing at the time. Literally, all
of the internal parts inside one of the lift stations fell to the bottom when
Maintenance personnel arrived to fix it. They did an admirable job in
completing these rehabilitations. The Estate station was also totally rebuilt
in conjunction with the 2002 street reconstruction project.
The purpose of this item is to authorize WSB and Associates to provide
engineering services for the 2003 Lift Station Rehabilitation project. Staff is
requesting this assistance due to the magnitude of the repairs needed on 6
key lift stations. A copy of their proposal is attached.
The six lift stations we are recommending to be completed in 2003 are:
. No.3 on Franklin Trail
. No.5 on Sycamore
. No.7 near Lakers
. No.8 on Condons
. No. 17 on 150th Street
. No. 24 on Lime Road

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
These lift stations all require major rehabilitation including replacement of
pumps, guide rails, electrical panels, other electrical components and panels,
wet well covers and hatches. A more detailed list is found in the WSB
proposal. Generally the concrete wet wells are in good condition and do not
require replacement.
The Sycamore station is proposed to be totally rebuilt in a different location.
It currently is very close to a house and the piping to it needs to be relocated.
The Franklin station is one of our larger stations serving a large area north of
CSAH 21 including the Cardinal Ridge and Brooksville Hills
neighborhoods. The Lakers station is another one of our larger lift stations
and has two other lift stations pumping to it. The Lime station is another
large lift station which is fed by two other lift stations.
Three of the lift stations, Franklin, Lakers, and Lime, are proposed to be
connected to the City Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
system. This computerized system will enable staff to respond to failures
faster, and know a little more about what the failure is. Lime and Franklin
are proposed to have permanent stand-by electrical generators constructed
with the rehabilitation of the lift stations.
Our estimate of the cost to perform this work is $550,000 plus the
engineering fees. WSB's proposal is to prepare the plans and specification
and perform the construction engineering inspection for a cost not to exceed
of $115,000. WSB will be using Kaeding and Associates to perform the
electrical engineering work and this is included in the proposal. System
Control Services performs our SCADA system maintenance and additions to
the system. If authorized to move forward, WSB and staff will complete the
plans and specifications and request City Council approval on May 19, have
the bid opening and award the project in June, and complete the project by
late fall, 2003.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funding for the project will come from the Sewer Operating fund, since
it is the rehabilitation of existing sewer infrastructure. Staff estimates the
total cost of engineering and actual repairsto be approximately $665,000.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are two alternatives for the City Council to consider:
I. Approve a resolution which authorizes the City to enter into its standard
professional services contract with WSB & Associates to provide
engineering services for City Project Number 03-05 for a fee not to
exceed $115,000.00.
2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction.
