BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Naper Boulevard Stormwater Lift Station was installed in 1985 with the purpose of preventing Naper Boulevard from flooding during rain events at the Burlington-Northern Rail Tracks. The lift station has a design capacity of 3950 GPM and consists of a wet well, three submersible pumps, and pump control systems. The original three pumps were replaced with the current three 50-hp submersible pumps in March 2006. Currently, all three pumps' guide rails are either missing or corroded, which prevents the pumps from being pulled out for maintenance. Additionally, the pump electrical cables are stiff and dry-rotted, raising safety concerns.
In February 2023, the Water Utilities issued Bid 22-277 for the Naper Boulevard Stormwater Lift Station Rehabilitation project. The project includes replacing the existing three submersible pumps, guide rails, piping, wet- well hatches, and installing new cables and conduits. The project will also include the installation of new sidewalks to access the wet well and associated retaining walls. Furthermore, the project will replace the existing VFDs and upgrade the pump control system.
