Melville’s wastewater pumping station number 1, which pumps sewage out to the lagoon, will be replaced, starting this summer.
It was originally slated for 2024, but because of multiple failures in 2020 and a lack of capacity to handle peak weather events, City Council approved its replacement to occur this year.
Director of Public Works Andrew Fahlman says in April, a tender was posted onto SaskTenders, and 4 companies submitted proposals: Hipperson Construction Company, Westridge Construction Ltd., PCL Construction Management Inc. all based out of Regina, and Graham Construction and Engineering based out of Saskatoon.
“Within the evaluation criteria, we asked for things such as project experience, personnel experience, it could be a big corporation but they never built a Lift Station before, so we asked for individual experiences. We asked timelines, we asked for the safety programs, that’s a big key for us,” Fahlman explaine
