Approve Replacement of Lift Station #1 Control Cabinet with Total Control Systems at a Cost of $45,105

Lift station #1 is located at the intersection of Dolomite St/137th Ave on the Southside of Hwy 10  and was constructed in 1990. As this is our first and oldest lift station, it is in need of technology up-grades that will improve overall operations and reduce after hour call backs, which are quite common with this lift station.

The two property owners directly adjacent to the project will be notified of the construction schedule.

The replacement of the control panel for lift station #1 first appeared on the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) in 2012. The city received quotes from Total Control Systems Inc. and Taylor Electric, with Total Control System Inc. being the lowest quote at $45,105.00.  Total Control has worked with the city in the past,  developing and maintaining our Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA).  Our PW department has been  pleased with their past performance and has full confidence in their ability to preform this control panel upgrade.
