Report
Summary
Lift Station 40 conveys wastewater north approximately three miles to a gravity sewer at Guadalupe Road east of 48th Street. The current lift station pump capacity is approximately 13 million gallons per day. The four currently-installed sewage pumps cannot operate at full speed due to age and require replacement.
Felix Construction Company will begin in an agency support role for Design Phase Services and then hold the construction contract with the City for construction of the project.
Services during the CMAR design phase will include, but are not limited to: field inspections as necessary for full understanding of required rehabilitation, including needs for maintaining lift station in service during construction; providing detailed cost estimating and identification of marketplace conditions; planning and scheduling project and construction phases to minimize interruption to City operations; evaluating alternate systems; providing constructability studies; advising on potential efficiencies in project delivery; performing and initiating long-lead studies and procurements; assisting in permitting processes; and participating in the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) process to establish the SBE goal prior to construction.
