Background

Pump station maintenance is an ongoing process for the Utilities Department. In order to maintain functionality, extend the life of the mechanical equipment, the station itself, and pump stations as well as other facilities need to be routinely painted and equipment coated to provide ongoing corrosion protection. The coatings at the Influent Building and at the Bio-Solids Pumping Station at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) have outlived their useful life and are in need of recoating. Refer to the attached photos for examples of coating failures at the above referenced sites.

Project Description

The WWTP Influent Building & Bio-Solids Pumping Station Maintenance Coating Project includes coating of the interiors and equipment of both pumping stations. Incorporated in this work is the coating of walls, floors, stairs, pipes, pumps, and other appurtenances; and the appropriate preparatory work to get the surfaces primed for coating.

Project Details

City Utilities staff have completed the design and production of construction documents for the project. Project documents will be available to prospective bidders by Wednesday, June 22, 2016.

Project Funding

The project will be funded from the Department of Utilities Operation and Maintenance Funds for 2016.
