COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 2001 As with the earlier project, staff is proposing to construct a new lift station consisting of a wet well and submersible pumps on the east side of Black Duck Drive within the unimproved Captains Place right-of-way. This will allow the existing lift station to remain in service as the new one is constructed. The new design will also eliminate the pump house as all of the components of the new lift station will be underground except for a control panel and a generator shelter. The cost of replacing this station will continue to increase. The cost of maintaining the station will also continue to increase as the components wear out more quickly due to high cycling frequencies. Replacing the station with a submersible pump system will also reduce OSHA confined space entry by City Public Works personnel. The funding for the project is proposed to come out of the City's Trunk Area and Unit funds. It is this type of project for which the Area and Unit funds were specifically created. City Engineer Powell advised the Finance Director has confirmed there are adequate dollars in the Area and Unit Fund for this project.
