AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Prepared By: SO Reviewed By: DJG Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to proceed with Lift Station <br />Rehabilitation projects for 2023. <br /> <br />2. Background. The Sewer Department has developed a maintenance plan for the 46 lift/ grinder <br />stations that are part of the sewer system. As part of the plan, each station is inspected annually to identify <br />routine maintenance needs. In addition to routine maintenance, the plan also includes the upgrade of two <br />lift stations per year. A lift station upgrade involves replacing discharge piping, pumps, and control panel <br />and all electrical that operates the lift station. The lift stations that are upgraded are selected based on a <br />number of factors: age, maintenance records, issues discovered during the annual inspection and the risks <br />associated with the failure of the lift station. Grinder Station 8 (1023 Old Crystal Bay Road North) was <br />reconstructed in 1992 and Lift Station 10 (115 Orono Orchard Road South) was constructed in 1999 and <br />both lift stations surpassed their life expectancy. Maintenance costs are increasing due to their age and the <br />outdated technology of the controls and pumps. <br /> <br />3. Project Scope. Installation of new control panels, two new pumps per station, discharge piping and <br />all electrical work. <br /> <br />4. Cost. We have solicited three quotations for Grinder Station 8 and Lift Station 10 upgrades, listed <br />below.
