BACKGROUND:
The Northwest Wastewater Pump Station, installed in 1993, includes a wet well, valve well, three 77-horsepower submersible sanitary pumps, a backup generator, and a motor control center. Since its installation, the pumps have experienced damage from vibration and cavitation. In 2015, the three original pumps were replaced with one 70-horsepower (HP) pump and two 115-HP pumps. However, this upgrade did not resolve the problems and the pumps at this station require rebuilding every two years due to ongoing damage. To address this, the City engaged Baxter & Woodman to conduct a study and provide recommendations to mitigate the issues.
To support the City's priority of providing infrastructure, electric service, and water/wastewater services that are reliable and safe, in November 2024, Water Utilities issued Bid 24-166 for the Northwest Wastewater Pump Station Rehabilitation project.
The scope of work includes replacing the existing pumps with three 125-HP pumps, installing new variable frequency drives (VFDs), a motor control center, and associated electrical conduits. Additionally, the project involves removing and replacing pipes and valves in both the wet well and dry well, as well as modifying the wet well structure.
