This project is for the abandonment of existing Lift Station No. 1, which is located at 312 N Tilden Street in a portion of an old building owned by the Grand Island Parks Department.  Due to the condition of the building it is desired to demolish the building and abandon the current pump station. 

Construction of a new sanitary sewer gravity main is planned, which will collect sewage currently flowing to Lift Station No. 1 from the east side of Broadwell Avenue.  This will allow for the abandonment of the sewer that currently flows under Broadwell Avenue and the Ace Hardware building.  As part of this project, sanitary sewer service for the Ace Hardware building will need to be constructed, which will more than likely utilize a commercial package lift station which would discharge to the sanitary sewer south of 3^rd Street.  If this work is unfeasible, an alternative plan may be pursued. 

The associated paving, sidewalk, traffic control, and all other items needed to complete the project will also be included.
