Project Milestones
Bid awarded to Rotschy for $10.6 million
Concrete poured for new reservoir ring footing
Roofing placed by crane, electrical work begins
Painting begins on outside of reservoir
Reservoir filled.
Contractor began physical installation of two more drives the week of Jan. 22. Once the two additional electrical drives are installed and complement the one electrical drive already installed, City and Contractor will begin start-up and testing of the new booster pump station. Tentatively, start-up activities are scheduled to begin the week of January 29th. With just three of the five electrical drives installed, the new booster pump station will have more capacity to serve the airport industrial areas than the existing two 1940s vintage booster pump stations. Contractually, the new booster pump station must operate continuously for 7 calendar days without interruption before the Contractor can begin demolition of the two 1940s vintage booster stations and the 1970s vintage steel reservoirs.
City and Contractor are expecting the final two electrical drives to ship the week of January 29th. Once they are on-site, Contractor will install the remaining two drives and City and Contractor will perform additional start-up activities.
