Title
Main Pump Station Motor Control Center Replacement Proposal - Greeley and Hansen Engineering of Chicago
History
Constructed and in service since 1985, the Village of Orland Park (Village) Main Pumping Station provides the only source of potable water for the Village’s water distribution system. In 2016, to plan for future improvements, the Village solicited Greeley and Hansen Engineering of Chicago, Illinois, the firm that originally designed and oversaw construction of the Main Pumping Station to complete an evaluation of the facility. Greeley and Hansen have been involved with several major improvement projects with our Main Pumping Station and have the most intricate knowledge of the facility. The report identified the replacement of the station’s Motor Control Center (MCC). The MCC is responsible for controlling and distributing power to pumps and equipment throughout the facility. The majority of the electrical equipment is original to the facility. Over the past few years, the electrical system has become harder to maintain as components become obsolete and spare parts more difficult and expensive to obtain. Numerous customized modifications over the years have resulted in inconsistencies with shop drawings making troubleshooting both labor intensive and dangerous. Several failed attempts to repair the automatic transfer of emergency power between ComEd and standby generator has been costly and still requires human interaction when primary power is lost. The MCC Replacement Project will implement the improvements identified in the Report to improve electrical system reliability, efficiency, safety, and mitigate difficulties associated with the aging electrical equipment.
The Village requested and received a proposal from Greeley and Hansen of Chicago, Illinois for Phase 1, 2 and 3 engineering of the MCC Replacement Project in the amount of $238,000.00. Due to the critical operation of the station to provide a safe and consistent water supply for ...
