o Initial operation of the station will have 1 pump running at a time to meet Met Council <br />capacity restrictions. The anticipated pumping rate is 1,100 GPM with one pump <br />operational. <br />o The ultimate operation of the station will have 2 pumps running at a time <br />o Two (2) mixing pipe attachments to stir up grease formations <br />• Ultimate pumping rate of 1,700 GPM <br />o Meets ultimate MUSA needs planned for this lift station <br />• No electrical or generator systems require modifications with the proposed pumps <br />• An impeller can be changed out for a low cost increase in pumping rate if future needs require a <br />higher pumping rate and Met Council’s system can accept it. <br /> <br />The pumps are necessary for the continued operation of the city lift station once the new forcemain is <br />installed and the new Met Council connection is live. Both projects are planned to be in place in the fall of <br />2025. The estimated lead time on delivery of new pumps is 15 weeks after a purchase order is signed. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost to purchase three pumps, install them, and complete programming <br />adjustments is estimated to be $170,000. Staff is requesting authorization to purchase the pumps from <br />Electric Pump to be paid for out of the Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund. Installation and programming <br />efforts will be quoted out or hired per the city’s purchasing policy at a later date. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the purchase of three new <br />pumps for the I-94 Lift Station. The recommended motion is: <br />“Motion to authorize the purchase of three new Flygt pumps for the I-94 Lift Station within the <br />authorized $170,000 project budget.” <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br /> <br />1.
