AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Turner Road Pump Station Modifications, Turner Road Underpass
MEETING DATE: August 3, 2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the
above project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of installing a new access hatch for the storm
drain pump station that serves the Turner Road Underpass (see
attached). The aging pumps and piping have reached their usable
life and are in need of replacement in order to avoid a failure of the
pump station, resulting in underpass flooding. The work includes installation of three new pumps and
guide bar assemblies, installation of a new discharge piping header, relocation of an existing electrical
box, and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the project.
The existing pump station access is undersized, and the maintenance of the station has become both
time consuming and labor intensive. The location of the pump vault is in the center median of
Turner Road, directly under the railroad underpass, and requires work to be done in a very high traffic
area, so temporary lane closures will be necessary.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
FISCAL IMPACT: This project will reduce maintenance costs by replacing storm pumps that
have reached their usable life and also reduces liability associated with the
risk of roadway flooding.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The money for this project will be coming from the Wastewater fund. A
request for appropriation of funds will be made at contract award.
Project Estimate: $50,000
Budgeted: 05106 Fiscal Year
Planned Bid Opening Date: Aug 24, 2005
