Summary & Background: The Graham Drive Pump Station is a critical asset in the South Fulton collection system. It conveys sanitary sewer flows to the County’s Camp Creek Water Reclamation Facility that originates in the cities of College Park, Fairburn, Union City, Palmetto, and South Fulton. This pump station serves all areas South of US 29 (Roosevelt Highway) and I-285 within Fulton County. The South Fulton Capacity Study identified this facility as requiring upgrades to maintain the expected levels of service through the year 2050.
Scope of Work: Under typical operating conditions, some equipment and areas within the pump station are inaccessible. As a result, the Public Works Department fully anticipated that additional work would be required once the pump station was fully bypassed. With the pump station bypass in place, a comprehensive inspection of the facility and its equipment revealed the full extent of the additional needs. This change order reflects those findings and outlines the actions recommended to modernize the pump station and bring it into acceptable working order. The 12 items included are as follows:
1. Forcemain influent pipe replacement options @ $356,656.62
2. Surge Pipe (wetwell) Replacement @ $43,628.69
3. Influent Channel Stair/Platform Replacement @ $49, 351.85
4. Sump Pump Discharge Extension @ $4,565.73
5. Meter Vault (8x47) Drain (RFI #31) @ $13,036.63
6. Electrical Building Roof Insulation @ $3,085.19
7. Cleaning/Vacumm of 42” Forcemain @ $7,041.02
8. Rerouting of HVAC Ductwork @ $97, 250.76
9. Odor Control Suction Cover Replacement @ $14,164.42
10. Dry Pit Header Modification @ $19,147.06
11. Bypass Vault Drain (8x8) @ $1,191.95 and
12. Various Electrical Work Changes @ $30,212.17
In order to keep the flow bypassing the pump station as the above-mentioned work was completed the County incurred additional costs associated with the setup. Those costs were calculated at $805,115.98.
That brought the total request under this change order to $1,444,447.60.
Community Impact:
Wastewater flow has continued to be bypassed around the existing pump station since April 2023 while construction has been underway. There has been no direct impact on the surrounding community or disruption of the wastewater transmission services provided by this facility. The pump station remains on schedule to be completed by the end of May 2026.
Department Recommendation:
The Public Works Department recommends approval of this Item.
Project Implications:
The work under this change order is required to bring this station to the best working condition for current and future flows. This upgrade is necessary to have a facility capable of receiving and pumping the expected flow into the foreseeable future.
Community Issues/Concerns:
No specific concerns have been raised by the community.
Department Issues/Concerns:
The Public Works Department does not have any concerns with this change order request.
