This is a project that has been moving forward within our Capital Improvement Plans for sometime now. The work will include the replacement of two flygt submersible pumps, demolition and replacement of heavily corroded pump rails, installation of new pump floats and associated controls as well as other associated site work. We intend to begin with renovations at one location. The lift station at the corner of the Kenai Spur Highway and Redoubt Avenue. This will be our test location to work out any discrepancies within our plans and specifications, with the intent of amending plans before releasing additional locations out for bid. The City has 19 lift stations, many of which are approaching 50+ years of age, with equipment currently operating well beyond its intended useful life. This work will replace our existing infrastructure with newer, more efficient and reliable, equipment. Completion of this work will also provide some much -needed additional spares of our older equipment which has not been in production for many years. This will allow us to keep our older locations operating longer while we continue to direct priority projects through the Capital Improvement Plan. Approval of this budget transfer at this time to allow this project to move forward is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested.
