failures. The project is focused on restoring the electrical systems of the 29th Street
Pump Station to full functionality at both the pump station and its associated electrical
building. To achieve this, a range of repairs and improvements will be undertaken. Key
objectives include repairing water damage in the pump station vault, repairing HVAC
systems in the vault and electrical building, improving the float switches in the wet well,
waterproofing the vault's sump pump, and improving electrical wiring at the vault's lid.
These repairs are necessary to ensure the pump station is operating as designed.

Funding, including contingencies, in the amount of $116,062.10 will be paid from
account SW1701, Pump Station 29th St.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
