All the existing valves in the lift station have reached their useful life cycle and need to be replaced so that future maintenance work on the existing pumps could be implemented.
On July 21, 2018, the Department of Public Utilities staff advertised the project, soliciting qualified construction services, and on August 9, 2018 six bid proposals were received at the Office of the City Clerk and were publicly opened at the City of Hollywood Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant with the following results:

On October 3, 2018, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2018-315 which authorized the execution of a contract with TV Diversified, LLC. for Lift Station W-27 Bypass and Valve Replacement project, since the lowest bidder, TTC Environmental, Inc., did not meet the City’s requirements.
