Project Background: The current force main system (Transite AC, 16 & 18-inch force main) was constructed in approximately 1970. The pipeline out of town begins at Lift Station 1, just off of Richardson Highway across from E. Pioneer Drive. The pump station moves sewage approximately 3.5 miles to the wastewater pond system for treatment. The current force main's route is within the utility corridor that runs through the tide flats south and east of the Richardson Highway and then parallels the west side of Mineral Creek Loop Road until it reaches the City's wastewater pond system.

The intent of this project is to replace the system prior to significant failures and prep the system for any potential future expansion.
Project Procurement: A Request for Proposals was posted for this project on June 18, 2019. The solicitation posted for nineteen working days. Three proposals were received and all three firms were interviewed. During the interview process, Day Engineering was chosen by the interview committee for their value to the city, similar project experience, design ideas, understanding the current sewer force main and its' ancillary systems, and understanding of operational needs.
Scope of Work: The Sewer Force Main Replacement project will focus primarily on modifications and upgrades at Lift Station #1 (adjacent the Animal Shelte...
