BACKGROUND:
In September 2023, Water Utilities issued Bid 23-192, Springbrook Water Reclamation Center (SWRC) Influent Pump Station and South Plant Force Main Improvements, to replace the pumps and controls at the SWRC Influent Pump Station and to construct a second force main to the SWRC South Plant.
The existing raw wastewater influent pumps at the SWRC are nearing the end of their useful life. This will require the replacing of 2-8 pumps as well as the associated motor controls. Additionally, a new force main will be installed to supplement flow to the South Plant, which is scheduled for expansion soon. The South Plant Expansion is currently under design by Donohue & Associates / CDM Smith as part of RFP 22-343.
