<br />underground well would be scraped, cleaned and modified within an
<br />above -ground CMU block control building (housing mechanical and electrical rooms). The design also
<br />includes 3,500 feet of 12-inch discharge pipe to John Garthe Reservoir with a bridge crossing,
<br />modification at the reservoir to connect to the on -site piping and a separate on -site generation sodium
<br />hypochlorite building including restroom and shower facilities.

<br />services for replacement of a 33-year old turbine generator. Services include removing the existing
<br />turbine/generator and installing a new unit and connecting to the electrical and control systems,
<br />upgrading the ventilation system, new RTU control panel, coordination with Enterprise Automation, and
<br />replacement of the existing switchboard and MCC. The demolition of the existing unit will include the
<br />removal of the generator, turbine shaft, impellers and upper housing. Replacement will include new
<br />construction involving, new motorized valve upstream of the new turbine/generator, new manual valve

<br />Engineer. Tetra Tech was selected to provide miscellaneous enhancements/rehabilitations to improve
<br />the reliability of the District's Regional Lift Station. The project included installation of a 13,000 gallon
<br />per minute independently -powered, self -priming, backup pumping system which will engage during loss
<br />of power (whether scheduled or emergency) or routine pump maintenance, the downsizing one of five
<br />existing sewage pumps with the installation a sewage grinder to better handle low flow conditions and
<br />the addition of supplementary wet well capacity to mediate issues with the existing wet well overflow.
<br />The project included rehabilitation to an existing wet well and a removable roof installation over the
<br />existing valve vault to allow easier access for future maintenance. The construction sequencing is of
<br />key importance as the lift station is required to remain on-line throughout enhancements.
