A&P CONSULTING TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS, CORP. <br />GOLDEN SHORES PUMP STATION REHABILITATION (CCNA) <br />RFQ 18-11-01 <br />7 <br />Existing Drainage System Performance <br />Based on information provided by the City of Sunny Isles Beach, the existing drainage system provides the level of service required for this neighborhood and no flooding complains have been reported. However, the entire drainage system, including the existing pumping station needs to be inspected, repaired and improved or retrofitted. Conditions of catch basins, drainage pipes, wells, pumps, electrical system, mechanical system and outfall structure will be accurately assessed, and recommendation will be provided to the City. <br />List of Deficiencies Observed: <br />As a result of a field visit to the Pump Station site, our Team identified the following deficiencies: • Existing driveway needs to be regraded: Grade elevation of driveway need to be elevated to comply with FEMA Flood Elevation requirements and also to improve access from the north area of the station. • Existing drainage structures at the pump station site: There is an existing drainage manhole at the site that is part of the FDOT drainage system, this structure should be also elevated as requested by the City staff.• Trash Rack or Intake Structure: The existing trash rack is made of steel and has visible corrosion issues. A new trash rack made out Aluminum or Stainless Steel should be installed.• Accessibility to the existing pump station equipment: The existing structures have no access from driveways. Maintenance staff currenlty needs to access the building thru the access hatches at the top, which require safety equipment due to the height.• Roof of the existing station is leaking: Existing metal roof is in bad conditions and it is leaking. This roof needs to be replaced. • Existing Sluice Gate is leaking: There is an existing sluice gate that serves to by-pass the flow from the wet well to the weir structure when the pups are not working. This sluice gate is leaking and needs to be replaced as well.• Monitoring System: The existing pump station does not have an updated monitoring system according to the latest technologies. Station should be provided with a complete new automatized monitoring system that can send alert notices to smart phones and emails when there is a malfunction of the station. Monitoring System should be able to record and track the performance of the station. • Scada system or similar: The existing station should also be provided with a Scada system or a similar.• Drainage Wells: drainage capacity of existing drainage wells is reduced, therefore these wells need to be cleaned, evaluated and redeveloped if need.• Outfall Structure: The outfall structure is provided with a back flow prevention valve (TideFlex) that according to City staff is not working. Our Team will evaluate the conditions of this valve and propose a repair or replacement if needed.
