GONZALES — The City Council awarded a $3.5 million contract Monday to L. King Co. to replace one of its sewage pumping stations.
City Clerk Clay Stafford said the project calls for building a new pumping station to replace the station near Jambalaya Park and re-routing sewer lines that handle the northern portion of the city.
“We’re going to reroute the lines that now go to the ‘Big Bertha’ or Chelsea Street station,” Stafford said.
“This is a major project that will substantially increase the size of this pumping station.”
Engineer Lynn Chance, of Glenn Shaheen and Associates Consulting engineers, said the new pumping station will handle about half of the city’s sewage, relieving the main pumping station.
After the project is complete, the new station will pump sewage to the city’s wastewater treatment system.
No project start date has been set, Chance said.
The company was the low bidder during a Feb. 24 bid opening, Chance said.
In other business, council members received information on the city’s intersection improvement project.
Engineer Ron Truxillo, of Glenn Shaheen and Associates Consulting engineers, said work is expected to begin March 22 at La. 44 and La. 30 to resurface three of the lanes under construction.
Problems with the asphalt has forced the contractor, Industrial Enterprises, to redo the work, Truxillo said.
The city is adding left-turn lanes and new traffic signals at four intersections.
Truxillo said the equipment should be in place in April to complete the signalization at Orice Road and La. 44 and La. 30 and La. 44.
