I-94 LIFT STATION FORCEMAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT APRIL 1, 2025 SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENTS • Replace approximately 3,000 feet of existing 8-inch forcemain from the I-94 Lift Station into Oakdale consistent with the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). • Review anticipated service area flows and provide a recommendation on forcemain size. • Review lift station components functionality with interim and ultimate discharge location conditions. – Met Council system upgrades currently under construction will remove forcemain from the city’s limits.
