The stormwater pump station on Sunset Island No. 4 is being constructed at the park located at located at 1400 West 21 Street (Sunset Lake Park) and it is part of the Sunset Islands 3 & 4 Neighborhood Improvements Design Build Project.

On June 19, 2015 the Homeowner’s Association (HOA) requested the Pump Station be designed and constructed on the west side of the park, not along Sunset Drive, and as far as possible from the historic designated bridge.

The design was revised and the 100% plans were reviewed and approved by the City Engineer’s Office on November 9, 2015.

Construction of the pump station is in progress with some of the pump station structures already installed. The HOA observed that the location of the pump station structures and the outfall will be approximately twelve (12) feet from the west property line within Sunset Lake Park and requested modification to the location of structures and outfall, so that the new location would be at least fifty (50) feet away from the adjacent property line or as far east as possible.

The relocation of the outfall structure will require modification of the current regulatory permits. Based on conversations with permitting staff at the Army Corps of Engineers the expected processing time for permitting may range from three (3) months to one (1) year.

The approximate cost of the redesign, permitting and construction of the remaining pump station structures is between $140,000 to $200,000 and a time extension to be negotiated. City staff is seeking direction to utilize existing project contingency to cover the costs associated with the HOA request to relocate the Pump Station.

On November 9, 2016, the Commission requested this item be heard again during the November 18, 2016 Special Meeting and directed staff to provide pictures of the area where the pump station is currently located.
