Tyler, Texas, approves $18.5 million for sewer capacity, rehabilitation projects
(UI) — The Tyler, Texas, City Council on July 8 approved four wastewater infrastructure projects totaling more than $18.5 million, advancing sewer capacity and rehabilitation work required under the city's federal Consent Decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The largest contract, valued at $8.76 million, was awarded to J&L Construction LLC for sewer capacity improvements in Basin 14. The project includes installation of approximately 7,676 linear feet of 24-inch gravity sanitary sewer, 548 feet of 18-inch sewer, and 2,267 feet of 12-inch and smaller sewer lines, along with manholes, creek crossings, laterals and pavement restoration.
Council members also approved a $1.76 million contract with WM Miller Construction Co. Inc. for Basin 17, where crews will install approximately 2,600 linear feet of 12-inch and smaller sanitary sewer and complete related manhole, lateral and roadway improvements.
To address aging infrastructure, the city awarded a $6.03 million contract to C&A Construction LLC for open-cut rehabilitation of 224 sanitary sewer mains. The project includes 6,349 linear feet of pipe replacement, nearly 200 point repairs, construction of 113 manholes, 15 shallow manholes, and rehabilitation of three existing manholes.
A fourth contract, valued at $1.99 million, was awarded to King Solutions LLC for rehabilitation of 42 sanitary sewer mains using trenchless and conventional methods. Planned work includes approximately 9,424 linear feet of pipe bursting, 2,244 linear feet of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, construction of six manholes and rehabilitation of eight existing manholes.
The projects are part of Tyler's long-term wastewater improvements required under a federal Consent Decree that took effect in April 2017. The program is intended to reduce sanitary sewer overflows by increasing system capacity and rehabilitating aging sewer infrastructure identified through condition assessments.
