It is our understanding that the City of Georgetown would like to ;replace the existing Reata Lift Station and force main because the station is currently overloaded and, with committed taps, would be in danger of frequent spills. The City would like the lift station replaced with a self -priming unit to avoid human contact with the wet well environment. CDM will perform the following services I. Preliminary Engineering Phase In this stage of project development, we will determine the capacity of the receiving interceptor, the existing load on the receiving interceptor, the existing load on the Reata Lift Station, the load from lots constructed but not occupied, and the load from lots approved but not constructed. From this data, we will report to you what level of service is possible using the existing interceptor system. This information will be presented in a report (10 copies furnished). The report will be delivered to the City within four weeks of our notice to proceed. The lump sum cost for the preliminary engineer— ing phase i $8,000. This includes surveying the receiving interceptor for capacity determination, plus surveying the "force main and lift station site for final design. II.

Project Engineer Associate AW/LM: ta CITY OF GEORGETOI MEMOR DATE: October 28, 1988 TO: Mayor and City Council City Manager FROM: Jim Briggs, Director of Public Utilities SUBJECT: Engineering Services for Reata Lift Station Pending the approval of the basic service agreement with Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. the city staff recommends the services of this firm for the engineering of the Reata Lift Station Project. The Reata Lift Station Project has been covered on several occasions with the Utility Sub -Committee and was approved for construction under the Capital Improvement Program. The services outlined by Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. for this work include a preliminary design phase, which will provide the City of Georgetown with calculated flows in the existing service area. This study will enable the City of Georgetown to provide information to the land use plan for the Reata area. The second phase of services include design of the lift station and force main connecting these improvements into the existing gravity system. The final phase of services would include bidding and construction representation as needed. The total cost of these services would be $20,300.00 paid on a lump sum cost. City staff feels that the study would not only be useful for public utilities, but also for the Planning Division in organizing exact capacity figures for the Reata drainage basin. Therefore, city staff recommends approval of the engineering agreement between the City of Georgetown and Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. for services related to the Reata Lift Station improvements. Funding source for this project will be Utility Capital Projects. Proposed Motion: See attached resolution. ector , }f j` ublic Utilities Approve an agreement between the City of Georgetown and Camp, Dresser, and McKee for engineering services to the Reata Lift Station Project.
