The District has requested a proposal from EAC to perform a condition assessment on all of its lift stations within the City’s limits. The District currently maintains fifty-one (51) lift stations within the limits of the City, including five (5) lift stations located on the coastal community of Singer Island. Two (2) of the existing lift stations are master stations and three (3) are sub-master stations. The District performed a high-level condition assessment of all its lift stations in 2012 and a condition score was developed to rate each station. This information was summarized and included in its 2013 Water and Wastewater Master Plan.

The stations in general are in moderate to poor condition and require either rehabilitation or replacement due to age and deterioration. The District needs to develop a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to address these deficiencies and therefore a condition assessment is required to assist the District in prioritizing critical investments that must be made now, as opposed to investments that can occur over time, while maintaining the functionality of the overall system.

The District has fourteen (14) lift stations that are in a critical state and require immediate attention. The District is therefore requesting that this project be phased to address these critical lift stations first. The first phase (Phase I) will consist of the following lift stations: LS 9, 11, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 30, 37, 39, 40 & 41. The second phase (Phase II) will consist of the remaining thirty-seven (37) stations. In addition, Phase II will also include an odor control study for three (3) Lift stations (1A, 10 and 12). The odor control study will involve system performance monitoring, condition assessments and provide alternative odor abatement strategies and recommendations.
