A Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Jackson Basin
Pump Station project was issued on August 20, 2008. Five responses to the RFP were received on
September 18, 2008. A selection
committee that included City staff from Public Works and Engineering was formed
to evaluate the proposals. The selection
committee determined that all five firms should be interviewed based on the
proposals submitted. Howard R. Green
Company was selected as the consultant based on their recent storm pump station
experience in the City of
The Jackson Basin Pump Station project provides for
improvements addressing capacity deficiencies in the 1,350 acre Crawford Creek
Watershed.
Standby
Emergency Power
After the flooding events of 2008, it was determined
that the City’s best interest is served by providing standby emergency power
generators for stormwater pumping stations. Power is currently provided by MidAmerican Energy
Company. Should power from the
MidAmerican Energy grid be interrupted, the stormwater pump stations will not
have the ability to perform their designated function. Howard R. Green Company was selected as the
design consultant because of their recent stormwater pump station experience in
the City of Des Moines. City staff has
negotiated a contract with Howard R. Green Company for design and construction
phase services for standby emergency power generators at nine of the thirteen
existing storm water pump stations for $333,400.
The design of the standby power generators for the storm
water pump stations in Central Place will be coordinated with the US Army Corps
of Engineers and the design currently underway for the Central Place levee.
