The current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the Lift Station #16 Rehabilitation Project, Sewer-19-001. The feasibility study portion of the project includes rehabilitating the city's primary sanitary sewer lift station, removing the old lift station building that is no longer being used, evaluating the integrity of the forcemain piping, updating the city's emergency management plan for the lift station, and decommissioning the abandoned Whispering Oaks Lift Station (see attached CIP project summary sheet).

City staff will need assistance from a design and engineering consultant to complete the project. City staff has worked with AE2S to develop a scope of work needed to deliver the project. AE2S and their team have the experience, technical skill, and capacity to provide the needed services and is a recommended firm as part of the city's approved consultant pool. The attached Professional Services Agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fees for their work for the first phase of the project, which includes evaluating project needs and preparing a feasibility study. Once this phase is complete, city staff would then work with AE2S to develop a scope to deliver the plans and specifications and construction portions of the project.

The scope of the AE2S Professional Services Agreement is proposed to cost (not to exceed) $52,000. This work is budgeted in the 2019 Sanitary Sewer Fund. Upon completion of the feasibility study, detailed and updated cost information will be provided to confirm project scope needed to further advance the design of the project.
