Overview
Overview
The Engineering Division opened bids for Project 23-12, North and South Pumping Station Upgrades. The project includes rebuilding four existing older pumps at the north and south pumping stations and replacing worn-out check valves, couplings, and flow switches at these stations in order to improve pumping efficiencies and ensure reliability. Five contractors picked up bid documents and three bids were received. The lowest responsible bid was submitted by Morrison Constriction Company in an amount of $396,500, which is over the budgeted amount for this project. There are available funds from deferred projects to cover the additional costs. Construction work is planned to start this fall following the completion of work in the central pump station and last until 2024 due to long lead times on materials.
