The request of staff for the City Council to review and consider for approval is Task Order No. 17 from Stroud Engineering Consultants, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $124,500 for engineering services for the 2023 Sewer System Improvements Project.

The project scope of the planned work is separated into two (2) main components.  Component one is sanitary sewer force main construction in the Tanglewood Terrace 1 neighborhood.  Approximately 2,100’ of eight-inch force main will connect at the existing lift station located on Maplewood Dr. and tie into the existing eight-inch force main at High St.  The existing six-inch force main will be capped and abandoned. The second component of the work involves the rehabilitation of the existing sewer lift stations located on Maplewood Dr. and on River Rd. These lift stations contain old steel wet wells that are subject to corrosive atmospheres and are approaching the end of their serviceable life and are in need of system upgrades.  The proposed force main improvements and lift station rehabilitations are identified in the City’s current Utility Master Plan as recommended ongoing utility capital improvements.
