  <br />  <br />  <br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF PLANS AND <br />SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR CITY <br />PROJECT 17-15, LIFT STATION 7 REPLACEMENT <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD’S APPROVAL: Craig Schlichting, Director of Community Assets and <br />Development <br />CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: <br /> <br /> <br />No comments to supplement this report _______ Comments attached ______ <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />1. Approve the plans and specifications for City Project 17-15, Lift Station 7 Replacement. <br />2. Authorize staff to advertise for bids for City Project 17-15, Lift Station 7 Replacement. <br /> Includes manholes and piping <br />3. Authorize staff to solicit quotes for New Lift Station Equipment and Pumps. <br /> <br />Legislative History: The City hired Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC to analyze Lift Stations #2 <br />and #7, and this report was finalized in January of 2014. <br /> <br />June 10, 2014: The City Council authorized the purchase a Permanent Standby Power Generator for Lift <br />Station 7, and worked with a Professional Land Surveyor and the City Attorney to negotiate a 20-foot x <br />40-foot sewer easement for placement of the generator, SCADA equipment, and future anticipated Lift <br />Station 7 improvements. <br /> <br />Explanation: <br />Pumps- <br />The purpose of this item is to obtain Council authorization to solicit quotes for Vortex Pumps and <br />Accessories for a new Cleveland Avenue Lift Station 7. The lead time to acquire these pumps is 6-8 <br />weeks upon approval. To prevent delays, the City would like to purchase this equipment directly from <br />the supplier and store it until a contractor is awarded the project. The City has other Hydromatic pumps <br />and this quote will allow the City to be consistent with the type of pump we install to minimize <br />maintenance issues, spare parts required, etc. Sticking with one type of pump makes our system more <br />uniform and easier to operate and maintain. <br /> <br />Wet Well- <br />The purpose of this item is to advance the project to the next step which is to publicly advertise for bids. <br />Bids are tentatively scheduled to be opened in late June, 2018, with construction to begin in mid-August. <br />The project consists of the removal and replacement of the existing wet well, and the reroute of existing <br />sanitary sewer gravity and force mains. <br />AGENDA SECTION: Consent <br />REPORT DATE: May 15, 2018 <br />MEETING DATE: May 22, 2018
