City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending City Council approve the plans,
specifications, form of contract and estimated cost of $1,626,615.00 for the Kerper
Boulevard Lift Station Project through the adoption of the attached resolution.
The existing sanitary sewer lift station located on Kerper Boulevard near the property to
be developed by Union at the Marina, LP was constructed in 1957. While the pumps
were replaced in 2005, the facility has reached the end of its design life as reflected by
the increased maintenance costs. The existing lift station cannot be upgraded to
accommodate the additional flows from the proposed development, or to accommodate
existing and future flows within the service area limits, within the constraints of the
existing structure. Therefore, a new lift station is proposed near the existing facility.
When complete, the existing lift station would be decommissioned.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
This memorandum requests the City Council conduct a public hearing for the Kerper
Boulevard Lift Station Project.
BACKGROUND
In October of 2023, the City Council approved the disposal of 5.25 acres of City
property located at the corner of Kerper Boulevard and Hawthorne Street to Union at
the Marina, LP and approved a development agreement with same. Per the agreement,
Union at the Marina, LP will construct buildings with 201 residential units at an
aggregate cost of approximately $45.7 million. And that they will use reasonable efforts
to start construction of the improvements within six (6) months of the closing date.
The existing sanitary sewer lift station located on Kerper Boulevard near the property to
be developed by Union at the Marina, LP was constructed in 1957. While the pumps
were replaced in 2005, the facility has reached the end of its design life as reflected by
the increased maintenance costs. The existing lift station cannot be upgraded to
accommodate the additional flows from the proposed development, or to accommodate
existing and future flows within the service area limits, within the constraints of the
existing structure. Therefore, a new lift station is proposed near the existing facility.
When complete, the existing lift station would be decommissioned.
DISCUSSION
On January 17, 2024, the City advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) to retain a
professional service consultant to aid the City in evaluating the existing collection and
pumping systems that transport sanitary sewage in the Kerper Boulevard Lift Station
sewer service area, develop a facility plan with phased improvements to address
identified high risk infrastructure within the sewer service area, and to design and
construct the lift station replacement. On March 19, 2024, the City entered into a
contract with Origin Design, the selected consultant, for the engineering services to
design the replacement of the Kerper Boulevard Lift Station. The project design is

construction permits, and is ready for advertisement for construction.

$
1,626,615.00

(Note: The indicated consultant services phases of the project are already contracted with Origin
Design and are funded costs utilized ARPA funding)
The project will be funded with an appropriation in the amount of $1,498,266 for the
design and construction of the Kerper Boulevard Lift Station Project [Project
5581500047], with revenue from an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant from an
allocation made during FY24 Budget Amendment #2. An additional $300,000 of ARPA
funding has been requested to be reallocated to this project as part of FY25 Budget
Amendment #1, for a new project total funding of $1,798,266. Due to the uncertainty of
recent construction market bid prices, specifically with lift stations involving items with
long supply chain lead times, staff have included a request for an additional $500,000 in
funding as part of the FY26 CIP requests. Upon receipt of bids, this additional funding
request for FY26 can be adjusted, or removed, accordingly based on actual bid pricing.
