ISSUE
Should the City Council award a construction contract in the amount of $19,000 to Diaz
Construction Group LLC, for the Greenwood Lift Station Rehabilitation Project?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Greenwood Lift Station was rehabilitated in 1996. Lift station piping and equipment in a
wastewater environment in Pueblo has been shown to have a useful design life of
approximately 15-20 years. It has been 15 years since the previous rehabilitation and the lift
station is showing signs of deterioration. The pipes and equipment are showing severe
corrosion and the valves are beginning to malfunction. This includes an occasional failure to
close properly, therefore reducing lift station efficiency. To avoid any potential failures the lift
station will be rehabilitated at this time. During rehabilitation the pumps and electronics will
remain in place while the piping, valves, fittings, and the bubbler tube will be replaced. The
project also includes the application of an epoxy coating to the interior of the wet well to reduce
concrete degradation. A bid summary sheet is attached.
The cost breakdown for the project is as follows:
Greenwood Lift StationSUBTOTAL: $19,000.00
Contingencies SUBTOTAL: $ 3,800.00
TOTAL: $22,800.00
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project will be taken from the Sewer User Fund, Project Number 11-073
(WWAN01). Funding is available and was appropriated in the 2011 budget.
