BACKGROUND
Lee & Ro, Inc. was selected as part of a competitive, qualifications-based solicitation process to design Seal Beach Pump Station Replacement, Project No. 3-67. At the time of the solicitation, the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) documented its intent to approve a subsequent agreement to the design consultant for the continuation of engineering services during construction.
This project will replace the existing pump station on the same site at the corner of Seal Beach Blvd. and Westminster Blvd. The pump station was originally built in 1970 and expanded in 1973 and 1980.
The existing Seal Beach Pump Station will be replaced with a deeper pump station. By doing so, OC San will be able to eliminate the upstream Westside Pump Station, located in the middle of a residential neighborhood, after the construction of a deeper gravity sewer line to Seal Beach Pump Station.
The new pump station will include a more efficient pumping system, upstream and downstream odor treatment systems, and a standby generator.
