Summary
This item is for the award of a construction contract for the Highland Park Wastewater Interceptor project, which is identified as project B in the 2020 Wastewater Master Plan Update.
The City contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates for design of the Highland Park Interceptor project as identified in the 2020 Waastewater Master Plan. This project involves installation of approximately 1,400 linear feet (LF) of 33-inch and approximately 1,500 LF of 24-inch sanitary sewer interceptor pipes along Wilbarger Creek west of State Highway (SH) 130. This project will connect to the SH 130 wastewater interceptor which feeds directly to the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant. The 24-inch and 33-inch sanitary sewer interceptor pipes will be installed using a combination of open cut and bore construction methods, installed to a depth of 16 to 20 feet for the 33-inch pipe and 8 to 16 feet for the 24-inch pipe. In addition, project includes installation of multiple 60-inch manholes and the decommission of the Highland Park Lift Station as well as the Pfluger Crossing Lift Station after completion of the interceptors. Salvageable materials from the existing Lift Stations will be returned to the City as part of the decommissioning.
The purpose of this project is to remove the existing Lift Stations for transfer wastewater flows to the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant by gravity flow. Installation of this wastewater line will allow the decommissioning of two (2) Lift Stations, therefore decrease operations and maintenance expenses.
