Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities ("Department") operates a wastewater system, which consists of collection/transmission pipes, 88 sewer lift stations, and the reuse supply system within the City's corporate limits. Sewer Lift Station ("LS") E-4 is located on South 10th Avenue and abuts South Lake; please see the attached location map. The existing ductile iron force main downstream of LS E-4 was installed in 2003 and is corroded due to brackish ground water. As a result, this force main has failed on five (5) occasions in 2022: January 1st, March 6th, March 25th, April 7th and 15th at different locations between LS E-4 and Adams Street. On these occasions, temporary repairs were performed. Please see the attached pictures.
Recent frequent failures of this force main and its proximity to the Intracoastal waterways is of concern due to its potential for adverse impact to the environment, public health and regulatory violations. Therefore, Department staff determined that approximately 700 feet of this force main must be replaced immediately.
On April 8, 2022, Department staff requested proposals for an emergency force main replacement from four (4) contractors who have active construction contracts with the City. Below is a summary of the lump sum cost proposals:
