107 <br /> <br /> Pump Station Improvement Program (PSIP) <br />Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department <br />Under the terms of a consent decree, Miami-Dade County is in the process of rehabilitating its <br />wastewater treatment plants and its sewer collection and transmission system. The Pump <br />Station Improvement Program consists of managing the upgrades to Miami-Dade Water and <br />Sewer Department’s Wastewater Collection and Transmission System (WCTS) that includes <br />sanitary sewer collection systems, pump stations, and force mains. As per USEPA standards, <br />all the pump stations will be certified as capable of meeting a nominal average pump operating <br />time of less than 10 hours per day. MDWASD has identified more than 118 sewage pump <br />stations that do not comply with the NAPOT criteria and/or are in need to be upgraded. The <br />cost of the proposed pump station basin improvements and rehabilitations is approximately <br />$215 Million Dollars. There is a total of 153 projects which there are 118 pump stations and 35 <br />force mains. In addition, our team saved the client $37 Million Dollars out of $215 Million Dollars <br />through value engineering. <br />Services Performed <br />As the largest contract awarded to a woman-owned company by Miami-Dade County, Nova <br />Consulting is currently providing the project and construction management for projects being <br />established through the Pump Station Improvement Program.

Data included existing Topographic <br />Surveys, As-Builts, Pump Curves, SCADA Information, SSES <br />previously performed, Gravity Repairs previously performed, <br />Average Daily Run Times (ETs), Force Main installation <br />previously performed, and Wet Well Span Verification. In <br />addition, Field Visit were performed to identify current conditions of the pump station, its structures, <br />and its electrical components. <br />Survey, SUE and Easement Services <br />As part of the analysis and further development of the Remedial Action Plan (RAPs) for each pump <br />station, The PSIP worked with MDWASD to validate the existing pump station property information. <br />In addition, the PSIP coordinated the recording of additional/abandonment of easements, or <br />additional property to be gained by MDWASD. Finally, the PSIP reviewed all topographic and <br />boundary surveys performed the Engineers-of-Record during the design phase. <br />Owner <br />Miami-Dade Water and Sewer <br />Department (WASD) <br />Prime <br />Nova Consulting <br />Client Contact <br />Rolando Roque, PE <br />3071 SW 38th Avenue <br />Room 55416 <br />Miami, FL 33146 <br />786.552.8129 <br />RoqueR@miamidade.gov <br />Services <br />Program Management <br />Collections Systems Engineering <br />CMOM and I&I Management <br />Construction and Commissioning <br />Project Fee <br />$30,750,000 <br />Start Date <br />June 2014 <br />Completion Date <br />Ongoing <br />Key Personnel <br />Maria J.
