An upgraded Page Park Lift Station (LS) was recommended in a preliminary engineering report. Upgrades to the LS will increase sewer capacity in the Northeast Creek basin, as well as improve reliability and ease of maintenance. The Page Park LS was constructed in 1997.
Upgrade of the Page Park is recommended for the following reasons:
• The current LS is a ‘suction lift’ type; an older technology with components reaching the end of their useful lifecycles.
• Steel components, like bases for pumps, are severely corroded and need replacement.
• The LS will be converted to a submersible LS that is more efficient and requires less maintenance.
• Electrical and instrumentation improvements are needed.
DCo Engineering is using the progressive design-build delivery method to expedite project completion. This is Phase 2 of the project. Phase 2 consists of the construction of the lift station. Phase I consisted of field evaluations, permitting/encroachment, projecting flows, siting, easement acquisition, surveying, subsurface utility surveys, geotechnical services, detailed design, and development of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This action is in accordance with Durham County’s Forward 2029 Strategic Plan:
• Proposed Strategic Plan Goal “Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment” by maintaining, protecting, and improving natural and built systems to support a sustainable community.
• Proposed Strategic Plan Goal “Financial Stewardship” by collecting, funding, and managing resources for high quality service delivery.
Resource Persons: Jay Gibson PE, Director of Engineering and Environmental Services; Stephanie Brixey, Deputy Director of Engineering and Environmental Services; Jerry Morrone, Project Manager, Vincent Chirichella, Sr. Project Manager
