Summary of Specifications:
The proposed improvements to be designed by the consultant at the Orion Pump Station include the following: • Pump replacement to increase the firm capacity of the Orion pumping station to a minimum of 12.3 million gallons per day (MGD) at the current discharge head of 85 feet of total dynamic head (TDH). Replacing pumping units at the Orion station will generally consist of providing new larger capacity pump(s), new motor(s), new valve(s), new piping, and other related miscellaneous items. • Providing variable speed pumping on one of the station’s pumping units using variable frequency drives (VFDs). • Providing new piping and discharge valves as necessary to accommodate the larger pump replacement(s). • Providing a permanent crane inside the station that can be used to lift, maneuver and replace pumps and motors for maintenance and replacement purposes. Currently, there is no existing crane at the Orion pumping station. • Providing a standby generator and associated site improvements at the pump station site. • Providing incidental improvements to the existing ventilation system and electrical/controls systems at the station. • Providing upgrades to provide flow metering at the station. The proposed improvements to be designed by the consultant at the Newburgh Pump Station include the following: • Providing a new passive-station bypass for the Newburgh water booster pumping station. • Providing new piping, new valves and miscellaneous items so that the station is bypassed passively in the event of a power failure and loss of pumping capability at the station. The consultant’s scope of professional engineering services includes project management, preliminary design, final design, permitting, bid and negotiation assistance, construction administration, and periodic resident project representation (RPR) services.
