This agreement provides funding to the town of old orchard beach to implement its project for the wastewater treatment facility (wwtf) and pump stations upgrades phase 2 as directed in the 2024 consolidated appropriations act or as identified in an approved technical correction if one has been approved for this project. Activities:the activities to be performed include the execution and implementation of a wastewater infrastructure construction project. Workplan activities consist of: upgrades to replacing aging infrastructure and perform resiliency improvements to the comfort, east grand, and milliken street pump stations. The comfort pump station was constructed in 1992. The pump station's control system requires upgrades to adequately manage high flow scenarios. As part of this project, a new flow meter, new level transducers, and a new backup generator will be provided for increased resiliency as part of the site wide electrical upgrades. The east grand pump station was originally constructed in the mid-1970's. This pump station requires structural and electrical upgrades which will help better pace flow delivery to the downstream comfort pump station. As part of this project, site wide electrical upgrades, including a new backup generator and generator pad, and a PIG-launching station will be provided for increased resiliency at the site. The milliken ST pump station was constructed in the late 1960's. This pump station requires structural, mechanical, and electrical upgrades which will help provide needed resiliency due to the site location in the 100-year preliminary flood zone AE. The town has noted that this site is prone to flooding, and all equipment will be raised to prevent further damage. Upgrades will include new pumps, piping and valves, site improvements that will increase accessibility to the site, a new backup generator and site wide electrical upgrades, and a new concrete wet well. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables include upgraded infrastructure, emergency power improvements, site access improvements, and flood resiliency improvements at milliken ST pump station and upgraded infrastructure and emergency power improvements at comfort and east grand pump stations. The expected outcomes include: - the new backup generators at the pump stations will provide resiliency to the collection system in emergency scenarios to ensure continuous operation of the pump stations. - raising the equipment above the base flood elevation (BFE) at milliken ST pump station will keep critical infrastructure above the flood zone to minimize potential flooding damage and contamination. - minimizing the risk of flooding will also reduce pollution contamination in the surrounding water bodies, such as jones creek and milliken pond. - improved site access during severe storms. The intended beneficiaries include the citizens of the town of old orchard beach, maine.
