UPDATE: https://www.sunrisefl.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/7691/638043009402670000 Unit Substation Transformer at Springtree WTP 500kva 4160volt - which provides power to the main switchgear in the Springtree Water Treatment Plant (WTP) electrical room - requires replacement. This transformer was installed in the 1970’s and has reached its useful life. Additionally this project will include the replacement of the Robicon Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) which operate the main high service pumps which have become obsolete and parts are difficult to obtain. This project is included in the city's 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of November 21, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. _____________________________________________ The Springtree Water Treatment Plant (WTP) high service pump "B" VFDs, medium voltage motor control center (MV-MCC), and switchgear are approximately 30-years old and were reviewed as part of the Water and Wastewater Master Plan facilities condition assessment process. This project includes the replacement of existing high service pump "B" VFDs, MV-MCC and utility/distribution switchgear, electrical substation #1 and #2, and other mechanical and electrical distribution equipment as well as the installation of new pad mounted transformers, 480V switchboard, 5kV raceways and cables, 480V raceways, and new side "B" high service pumps and motors. The aged switchgear is comprised of major electrical components from several manufacturers making the coordination of repairs challenging while increasing the risk of failure. Some of the outdated technology and obsolete system components reduce flexibility and reliability and increase the difficulty of obtaining parts for repair. Project is included in the City of Sunrise's FY 2021-2025 CIP. Per the owner, as of December 14, 2021, a design team has been selected. Owner states that construction is anticipated to begin around March/April of 2022. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
