BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Lift Station 1 is the main conveyer of wastewater for the East collection district located at Quaday Avenue. The site is a
triplex station housing three submersible pumps: two 50hp pumps and one 40hp pump. The smaller pump needs
significant repairs and timed for replacement, recommending upsizing to match design criteria consistent with existing
50hp pumps and their successful performances.
Quotes for a replacement pump matching the existing 50hp pumps were provided by the pump representative. The
replacement pump; Fairbanks model 4”5433MV Submersible sewage pump is $29,908 excluding freight and $1,880 for
installation and startup services. The pump has been authorized through emergency procurement due to its critical
infrastructure needs with expected lead time of 12 weeks. This replacement aligns with budgeted lift station repairs
defined for 2024 and within the $40,000 budgeted. The electronic drive (VFD) is being evaluated for replacement as part
of the improvement.
