BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size and cost) <br /> <br />The City of West Palm Beach required the rehabilitation of their existing sanitary sewer Lift Station 44, which is <br />located on 9th Street. The existing aged pump station features a square dry well adjacent to the wet well, does not <br />meet the current City standards and has become a risk management concern due to the confined space available to <br />access for maintenance. The City plans to abandon the existing dry well, rehabilitate the lower portion of the existing <br />wet well and replace the upper portion of the wet well. Additionally, they proposed to replace and upgrade the <br />pumps and control panel to meet current City standards and utilize submersible pumps. The existing housing for the <br />electrical equipment is planned for demolishment. <br /> <br />Erdman Anthony is providing engineering services for preliminary design, survey, structural analysis, utility <br />coordination, design plans and specifications, permitting, construction documents and bidding services, construction <br />phase services, and certification for the new pump station facility. <br /> <br />The site was field reviewed, inspected and surveyed for topography and to locate existing features. Existing flows <br />were researched and future flows assessed for an estimated pump size calculation. The force main size was also <br />evaluated to recommend future improvements, should any be required. <br /> <br />To evaluate the structural integrity of the lower portion of the well, the wet well and a by-pass pump was used to <br />drain the well so it could be inspected. Based on photographs taken at the visual inspection, a structural engineering <br />analysis was performed to determine the necessary repair plan. Based on evaluations by the structural and <br />geotechnical engineers, it was determined that the use of the lower portion of the existing wet well was not feasible <br />and the new wet well’s chosen just north in the location of the old electrical house. This further allowed the old pump <br />to operate during construction. <br /> <br />The project is currently under construction and the planned <br />sequence is as follows: install the new electric panel, establish <br />temporary controls for the existing pump, demolish the existing <br />electrical house, install the new wet well and test. It will then <br />be possible to connect the existing gravity sewer using a by- <br />pass pump for this relatively short duration. It is planned such <br />that existing sewage flows would be uninterrupted during <br />construction. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />25.
