Body
BACKGROUND
Dallas Water Utilities Department completed a Wastewater Facilities and Operations Strategic Plan in 2025 that outlined capital improvement recommendations based on a comprehensive review of existing facility conditions and needs. The assessment evaluated 16 lift stations and two diversion structures to identify deficiencies, assess asset conditions, and develop rehabilitation and replacement recommendations. Six of the lift stations were recommended for replacement, and future rehabilitation improvements were identified for the remaining lift stations. In addition, rehabilitation improvements were identified at both wastewater collection system diversion structures. Based on asset conditions, the improvements were prioritized into different capital improvement projects.
This action will authorize a professional services contract for the evaluation, design and construction administration of the first capital improvement package that includes the replacement of six lift stations and diversion structure improvements. The lift stations identified for replacement include the Seagoville Road, Industrial Boulevard, Regal Row, Rylie Road, Christopher Place, and Lucky Lane Lift Stations. Rehabilitation improvements will be designed for the Five Mile and Sunbeam Diversion Structures. In addition, the contract will include a capacity evaluation of the Lawson Road Lift Station and assessment of site improvements needed to protect the lift station infrastructure from flooding.
The existing facilities and equipment are nearing end-of-life cycle and this project will provide replacement or rehabilitation that will ensure continuous service and permit compliance. Proposed improvements will replace aging infrastructure, improve system reliability, reduce maintenance requirements, and support continued regulatory compliance and uninterrupted wastewater collection service.
The consulting firm for this project was selected following a qualifications-based selection process in accordance with City of Dallas Administrative Directive 4-05 procurement guidelines.
