PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS <br />2026 PMP Street & Utility Improvements ǀ 25X.137753 Page 12 <br />It is recommended to utilize an In-Situ Vulink with a Rugged Troll 200 water logging device. <br />This device will sit in an anchored Rugged Buoy near the deployable pump location in Karth <br />Lake. The Rugged Troll 200 Data Logger is capable of monitoring surface water and will allow <br />the city to monitor the water level of Karth Lake from an online application. The batteries <br />included with the In-Situ Vulink will power the logger with a manufacturer estimated 10- <br />year lifespan. <br />a. Approximate Construction Cost: $10,000 <br />Annual inspections of the system are recommended to keep the system operating as it <br />should but battery replacement and an annual telemetry subscription are the only <br />anticipated ongoing maintenance/costs over the life of the system. <br />Option 2 <br />Install a new 48-inch diameter, 6-foot deep concrete manhole structure to place the existing <br />deployable pump in. Install a submerged 18-inch RCP skimmer pipe below the normal lake <br />level to direct lake water from Karth Lake to the pump manhole while also mitigating the <br />influences of wave action and wind on the water logging device. This installation to connect <br />the system to the lake will require specialty installation measures to allow for installation of <br />the culvert within the lake footprint, such as temporary steel sheet piling or similar. Install <br />water monitoring logger and create automated on/off water elevation triggers. The existing <br />~350 GPM pump will be deployed from spring to fall and will operate automatically to <br />maintain desired water levels. The pump will connect from the new location to the existing <br />6-inch forcemain that outlets to the gravity storm network on Cummings Park Drive. <br />It is recommended to use the OTT PLS 500 Pressure Level Sensor. This water logging device <br />will be housed in the manhole structure or stilling well. The OTT PLS 500 will be paired with <br />a Sutron SatLink3, or approved equal, to log and transmit data. Power to the system will be <br />supplied with 12V DC power from a solar panel. Electrical components needed include a 33 <br />AH battery, 20W solar panel, solar regulator, equipment enclosure, mounting, and orifice <br />line conduit. <br />a. Approximate Construction Cost: $80,000 <br />Annual inspections of the system are recommended to keep the system operating as it <br />should but minor part replacements and annual telemetry subscription are the only <br />anticipated ongoing maintenance/costs over the life of the system. <br />Option 3 <br />Install a new permanent lift station that includes an 18-inch skimmer pipe installed below <br />the normal water level for Karth Lake, that directs water to a lift station vault with a <br />permanent stormwater pump and potentially upgraded forcemain. This installation to <br />connect the system to the lake will require specialty installation measures to allow for <br />installation of the culvert within the lake footprint, such as temporary steel sheet piling or <br />similar. This upgrade will also include a cloud connected water logging device and will likely <br />require an upgraded electrical service to the lift station to provide adequate power for the <br />proposed pump. <br />To efficiently maintain a bounce of 0.5 feet in Karth Lake a new lift station was preliminarily <br />sized with the limited information available to understand associated costs. The existing <br />pumped flow rate of ~350 GPM was found to be inefficient and require pumping for <br />extended periods of time to return Karth Lake to the ordinary high water surface elevation. <br />This option includes upsizing the existing pump to quickly return Karth Lake to pre-rainfall <br />levels and maintain a more consistent bounce. When installing a new pump, the existing 6- <br />DRAFT
