Consideration of Resolutio f : i 5, ccepting Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for B ck Duck Lift Station Improvement Project, Michael Grochala — Community Development Direc r Grochala 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 specifications to construct a new lift station and rejected the bids due to the high contract prices received. The City also initiated a project in 1998 to replace the lift station but terminated the process due again to estimated costs and funding constraints. Community Development Director Grochala indicated 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. 13
