Parker Pump Station Replacement Project

Construction has continued past the rain events these past few weeks and has been focused on the Storm Drain and Meter Access Vault. This month, the contractor will concurrently begin the sheet-pile installation for the deeper underground structures.

• Turned on dewatering pumps and began draw down around the Storm Drain and Meter Access Vault
• Shoring box was prepped and installed around the storm drain force mains
• Added additional precautions around the site to make everyone on site aware of the overhead utility safety hazard
• BMP’s are an ongoing focus to minimize track out
• Updated traffic control to increase visibility

Upcoming activities

• Sheet-pile installation will begin this week, aiming for Thursday, April 13.
• Continuing to excavate to subgrade at the Storm Drain Access and Meter vault structure.
• Major excavation and soil export will begin for the deep underground structures.

The Construction contractor is prepping for larger scopes of work after the latest rain events. Below are the latest construction updates:

• Effluent piping continues to be constructed from the desilting tank to the existing catch basin
• Began drilling dewatering wells
• Continue constructing the dewatering well discharge piping
• The intersection at Eighth and Coronado Avenue has been closed and construction fencing is being installed.
• Demolition of existing masonry wall and footing

Upcoming activities

• Electrical work to power each dewatering pump
• Dewatering for deep underground structures
• Shoring contractor will mobilize heavy equipment to begin sheet-pile installation.

• 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.

• Materials delivered, which will minimize schedule impact.
• Sound abatement barriers installed around portions of the property lines
• Prepped project site with base to control dust and minimize tracking out of site onto road
• Excavating 54-inch and 24-ince storm drain force mains to confirm alignment, elevation.
• Closure of 8th and Coronado Avenue Intersection on March 1, 2023.
• Electrical work to power each dewatering pump.

• Construction activities for the new Parker Pump Station are underway. The contractor’s equipment is on site and crews have removed the existing landscaping.
• Temporary fencing has been installed on the Naval Base property to create additional space for the construction supplies and equipment. Crews have installed water pollution controls to keep the intersection and stormwater catch basin clear of sediment.
• Surveyors are on-site establishing construction control points.
  

  
  

Update: The Design Review Commission approved the exterior design of the project with minor conditions on January 26, 2022.

The Parker Pump Station Replacement Project was presented at the December 8, 2021 Design Review Commission meeting but a decision was not reached. However, the Commission recommended lowering a portion of the proposed generator enclosure as well as minor revisions to the landscape plan. These recommendations have been incorporated in the project plans and the revised plans will be presented to the Design Review Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, January 26, 2022 to request exterior design approval for the project. The revised plans and renderings can be found on Comment Coronado under Documents.

For additional information see attached Courtesy Notice.

The project is currently in the 50% design phase and will be taken to the City’s Design Review Commission, currently scheduled for Dec. 8. The application, which includes architectural and landscape plans, renderings and a material board, can be viewed on this page in the Documents section on the right. The City encourages the public to review the design and provide feedback prior to the Design Review Commission meeting. However, the public also may attend the Design Review Commission meeting and provide input on the design.
