BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The electrical infrastructure serving the Vinewood Pump Station is antiquated and is in need of replacement to comply with current building codes. In February, the Electrical Utility Department installed new conduit within Tokay Street and Mills Avenue, a new primary feed and a new transformer serving the pump station. This work replaced the antiquated, direct -buried primary feed and substandard transformer and improved the safety and reliability of the electrical service. Deficiencies remain, however, in the existing electrical infrastructure from the transformer to the pump station, including the pump controls. This project will complete the on-site electrical upgrades by removing all remaining direct -buried wiring, installing conduits, replacing wire feeds to the pumps and transducers, replacing the pump controls and cabinets, and provide site lighting and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the above project. The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is May 23, 2018. The project estimate is $100,000. FISCAL IMPACT: The project will have a minimal impact on total maintenance costs but enhance the safety and reliability of the pumps served by the upgraded electrical system. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
