Resolution No. 01— 43, Order Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Black Duck Lift Station Improvements, (3/5 Vote Required), John Powell — City Engineer Powell advised the existing Black Duck Lift Station is located on the west side of Black Duck Drive, south of Lantern Lane. A new lift station is proposed to replace the existing lift station, which was constructed in 1970. In 1994, the City prepared plans and specification to construct a new lift station and rejected bids due to the high contract prices received. The City also initiated a project in 1998 to replace this lift station but terminated the process due again to estimated costs. The waste water flow volumes that enter the existing lift station have continually increased and the lift station needs to be replaced in order to operate in a safe and efficient manner consistent with current design standards. The pumps in the station have to operate much more frequently each hour than desired. The station also has very little storage, which causes the sanitary sewer to be surcharged.
