As of October 30, 2024, this project has been awarded but construction will not begin until spring 2025. Engineering & Architectural Design Services for West Zone Pumping Station The City of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin is soliciting proposals from qualified engineering firms for the design of a water pumping station. The City of Wauwatosa's water utility provides services to two (2) separate pressure districts, east and west. West pressure district is approximately 20psi higher than the east pressure district. The eastern district utilizes three pumping stations and two elevated towers, while the western district only has one station and one tower available at a time. The lack of a secondary pumping station makes the western district extremely vulnerable to system wide failures if the water feeding the pumping station or the pumping station itself experiences a failure. If a system wide failure were to occur and pressure within the system was reduced the lack of pressure would result in potential contamination to the drinking water supply as well severely limit the ability to provide water to combat fires. In order to protect the western pressure district's water customers a secondary pumping station is needed in order to backup to the existing primary station and feed. The proposed secondary pumping station will be located adjacent to the Burleigh Water Tower (11501 W. Burleigh Street). The pumping station will be sized in order to service the entire western district so that if a failure occurs at the primary station no loss of service would occur, all in accordance with the City of Wauwatosa Request for Proposal dated February 20, 2023 and this Official Notice. The City has allocated $5,250,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to complete the construction of this very important piece of the City's water resiliency plan. The budget includes all project costs including all design fees (internal and external), land acquisition costs, permitting, construction, and construction management.
