The contractor has completed the waterproofing on the exterior of the walls for the flowmeter vault and has formed the deck of the structure. Work continues to progress on installing new sections of 24-inch and 54-inch pipelines at the rear of the site. Work continued in the large excavation with placement of 3 feet of crushed rock and geotextile fabric; a waste slab was poured, and the bottom of the waterproofing material has been installed. In the coming weeks, the contractor will be placing the reinforcement for the floor slab.

The City contractor is continuing work on the flowmeter vault, which is in the rear of the site with the concrete pour, for the walls that were finished last week. Crews are working to strip the formwork to allow for the installation of the waterproofing material prior to backfilling. The progress for the large excavation has slowed with additional shoring work; an additional 3-4 foot of excavation is needed for the contractor to move on to placing the materials for the foundation for the storm drain wet well structure.

The construction on the new Parker Pump Station, located at Eighth Street and Coronado Avenue is progressing. This critical infrastructure is responsible for collecting stormwater and sanitary sewer flows.
The City contractor continues to work on the excavation, where the storm drain wet well will be constructed. The third and final set of supports for the shoring is currently being installed. This will allow the crews the ability to excavate to the final elevation.

The City’s contractor, Filanc, worked in conjunction with their subcontractor, Foundation Pile, as well as city personnel and the CM team to streamline the sheet pile installation process. Crews focused on laying out the perimeter for the new pump station and modifying construction methods to minimize the impact of the construction on the surrounding neighborhood. Foundation crews pre-drilled the perimeter of the remaining sheet pile install locations.
This pre-active measure streamlined the driving of the sheet pile installation process, allowing greater ease of the sheet piles being driven resulting in a faster install process and minimizing noise to the neighborhood. Once predrilling activities were completed, sheet pile installation activities resumed on May 18 and the installation was completed on May 26. The project team appreciates the neighborhood’s patience and cooperation during this phase of work.
Now that shoring installation is complete, Filanc will focus on excavating to the bottom of the subgrade which is expected to take approximately one month. Filanc will also be working towards installation of a bypass system that will allow for the existing storm water discharge pipes from the pump station to be taken temporarily off-line and allow for the construction of a new meter vault while still maintaining the ability to pump storm water flows.

Shoring operations were placed on hold beginning April 28 (2023) due to concerns with the installation method. The City contractor, Filanc made adjustments to the procedure and this phase of work resumed on May 18 and is expected to be completed by May 26. Noise mitigation measures are in place; however, it will still be loud during this work.
The City and Filanc understand this activity is impactful to the surrounding neighborhood and are working to complete this work as efficiently as possible. We want to thank the residents for their cooperation and patience and apologize for the inconveniences.

The City contractor, Filanc, is currently making preparations to install the new underground pump station structures. The final step of preparations will be to install shoring for the excavation operation. During the shoring installation, the surrounding area will be impacted by the noise generated from the operation.
Mitigation measures are in place which consist of sound reduction materials installed on the fence along the north and south property lines, however, noise levels will be elevated throughout the surrounding neighborhood during this phase.
The work will consist of sheet pile installation using a vibratory hammer. Large heavy equipment has been mobilized for this work.
Neighborhood Impacts
- From April 18 to April 28, there will be a high level of noise and vibration, as a result of steel sheet pile driving and installation. A noise control plan is in place; however, please note - it will still be loud during those seven days.
Hours of Operation for Shoring Installation
Noise impacts will be limited to Monday-Friday between 7:00 am to 4:00 pm.

February 27, 2023 Project Update
- The materials and deliveries continue to be secured, which is vital to the project, to minimize scheduling and delivery impacts.
- Sound abatement barriers have been installed along portions of the south and north property lines. Crews are potholing (excavating) the existing 54" and 24" storm drain pipes to confirm the alignment, elevation, and outer diameters, before specific materials are ordered.
-
Beginning on March 1, the intersection at Eighth Street and Coronado Avenue will be closed for an extended period of time for the construction. The closure will ensure safety within the work zone and the surrounding area.
- The contractor will also install the shoring system in the next few weeks. The work will take place sometime between March 1-22. The installation is expected to take 5-10 days and will be limited to working days (Monday-Friday) between 7 am and 4 pm. Notifications will be sent out soon and the contractor will distribute a door hanger, once the actual installation schedule is known.
- The contractor will work to complete the project as quickly as possible while minimizing the noise, and other impacts. We appreciate the community's patience as this vital new pump station is constructed.
