The Project consists of improvements to convert the existing wet well / dry pit pump station into a submersible pump station with six (6) new variable speed submersible wastewater pumps and appurtenances. Four of the pumps will be high-flow pumps, and two will be low-flow pumps to match off-peak duty flow conditions. Isolation valves will be installed on the two pump station effluent force mains. Two magnetic flow meters will be installed in a concrete vault on the force mains. The existing Electrical Building will be demolished, and two prefabricated electrical buildings (eHouses) will be provided to house the variable frequency drives (VFDs), electrical distribution, motor control equipment, and SCADA controls with temperature and humidity control. The Owner is proceeding with early procurement of the new pumps, VFDs, plug valves and actuators, flow meters, and eHouses, to be included in the Contract as Allowance items. All bid questions must be submitted to the Owner by 10:00 A.M. on August 20, 2024. The Project will be awarded in one Contract.
