The <br />pumping station is used to insure that adequate pressure is available in the city's water system to <br />keep areas in the northern part of the City served via the north water tower. The existing pump <br />station was constructed in 1968 and has not received any major rehabilitation work over its 35 <br />year lifetime. This project is in the Water Utility CIP for 2003. <br /> <br />The major components ofthe project include the replacement of two 50 horsepower pumps, <br />replacement of a natural gas auxilliary generator with a diesel generator, new interior lighting <br />and heating and the replacement of a 7 foot double door with a 10 foot garage door for improved <br />access. Replacement of the existing l6'XI6' garage door on the south water tower will be bid as <br />an alternate with the project as it is in very poor condition. The 2003 budget for pump station <br />rehabilitation is $325,000. The current estimated construction cost for the improvement is <br />$255,000 (including the water tower door). Total project cost including engineering and <br />administration is estimated at $306,000 which is $19,000 under the budget provided in the CIP. <br />The project will be funded entirely by the City Water Utility Fund. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The City Engineer recommends that Council authorize the advertisement for construction bids <br />for the Booster Pump Station Rehabilitation Project. <br /> <br />PROJECTS\ARDENHIL\37951\GENERAL\Documents\Agenda Memo 10~14~03ltem 3Bdoc <br />
