This lift station was built in 1997 as a dry pit/wet well duplex station and has exceeded its expected design life. This project is necessary to ensure the lift station operates in good condition and to minimize ongoing maintenance costs. The project will construct a new lift station to meet ultimate demand requirements and reduce maintenance concerns. The new lift station design includes a new wet well, valve vault, odor control equipment, screening equipment, electrical improvements to meet current City standards, a natural gas generator, and a retaining wall to flatten the site. The work includes bypass pumping, wastewater service connections, erosion and sedimentation controls, traffic controls, and mill and overlay for final pavement restoration including pavement markings. Work also includes the removal and disposal of abandoned asbestos cement pipes where encountered. Construction of these improvements will allow Austin Water to continue providing wastewater services to the increasing population in the area, as well as reducing noxious odors impacting the community. Due to the potential for unknown subsurface conditions, a 10% contingency in funding has been included to allow for the expeditious processing of any change orders to cover any unforeseen construction costs associated with the project.
