RE: Letter of Intent and Commitment of Matching Funds for HC Precinct 2 Project
Dear Commissioner Garcia:
I am writing this letter to notify Harris County Precinct 2 of the City of Pearland's intent rehabilitate
the Riverstone Ranch Regional Lift Station for the purpose of increase capacity to 2.4 MGD
(Million Gallons per Day), located in Pearland, Harris County, Texas.
The total proposed cost is $3 420,000. The City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) policy indicates
if the City is able to secure any additional funding towards the cost of CIP project, Certificates of
Obligation (CO) funding can be used to complete the work. Therefore, Pearland is able to match
Harris County Precinct 2 grant funding to bring this project to fruition/completion, which is outlined
in the budget portion of the application as being $1,710,000 (50% of total project costs).
The City's application is complete to the extent required by the Precinct, but project staff and
management are available to provide clarification, additional information or other documents
necessary as the process moves forward. On behalf of our citizens, we greatly appreciate the
opportunity and look forward to potential funding for this wonderful project.
Sincerely,
Trent Epperson, City Manager

Project Information Data Riverstone Ranch Regional Lift Station Capacity Expansion
Al. Project Location (Ex. Sample Rd from A St. to 8 St.) 1898 DRY WILLOW, Pearland (Harris
* Include standalone aerial exhibit (Ex. Google maps screenshot) County), Texas.
A. Project Narrative
The city is requesting $1,710,000 in 50% matching funds to upsize lift station pumps at the Riverstone
Ranch Regional Lift Station, in addition to other improvements at the facility, located at 1898 Dry Willow in
Riverstone Ranch subdivision. The project will increase the capacity as required by the City's Wastewater
Master Plan. A PER will be completed to determine if pumps should be upsized to 2.4 MGD. Also, install
an odor control unit, new electrical control panel, flow meter, new electrical rack and SCADA. As a regional
lift station this site will require a permanent natural gas generator with automatic transfer switch.
Installation of a 2" water service and cedar fence.
Installation of odor control unit for this lift station will reduce odors. These unpleasant odors are nuisance
to the residents. The pump station is a main regional pump station that has flow coming from several other
lift stations. Due to the critical nature of these lift stations will require an alternate power source to
maintain wastewater flows in the event of loss of line power. This lift station's priority rating is based on
being in fair condition with a very high impact due to location or high probability of sanitary sewer overflow,
according to the Wastewater Master Plan.
B. Project Readiness and Available Funding
The project has been identified as a priority within the Waste Water Master Plan 2020 update. It is
situated within Harris County. Our City staff has thoroughly reviewed the Waste Water Master Plan,
conducted site visits, and is in the process of hiring a consultant to conduct a Preliminary
Engineering Report (PER) to assess the necessity of upsizing pumps. Based on the findings of the
PER, a design will be developed. Additionally, the consultant will provide a preliminary cost
estimate for the project.
Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2024: $300,000
Projected Costs for Fiscal Year 2025: $3,120,000
Total Project Costs $3,420,000
C. Consistent with Prior or Current Planning
The City Council has outlined various strategic priorities to guide the future development of the
community. The proposed project aims to increase capacity due to its significant impact resulting
from its location or the high likelihood of sanitary sewer overflow, as outlined in the Wastewater
Master Plan. Given the critical nature of these lift stations, an alternate power source will be
necessary to ensure continuous wastewater flows in the event of a power outage.
This proposed expansion aligns closely with the sustainable Infrastructure strategic priority, which
emphasizes the importance of building a high quality of life on a foundation of well -planned and
maintained essential water, transportation, and flooding infrastructure. It also focuses on creating
appealing amenities and ensuring long-term value for the community. Importantly, this project is
consistent with our current planning efforts.
D. Infrastructure Resiliency, Vision Zero or Traffic Safety, and Traffic Operations
The proposed expansion project will incorporate measures to ensure that the Infrastructure is
well -designed to enhance resilience against various environmental hazards. Pumps and
equipment, power, casing, shafting, Impellers, and other material characteristics of the station's
mechanics will be state-of-the-art, based on the City's resiliency standards for constructing
sustainable/critical Infrastructure. Protective coatings, valves, ductile Von pipe, rigid galvanized
conduit, and fittings will all be made of high -specification materials.
E. Flood Protection, Mobility Level of Serve, and Multimodal Connectivity
The proposed project will assist the City of Pearland and Harris County in maintaining regulatory
compliance by preventing surcharging and sanitary sewer overflows within the gravity sewer
system. The facility will meet local floodplain elevation standards.
F. Infrastructure Needs and Project Benefits
The project involves expanding the capacity of a regional lift station. Analysis of wastewater flow
monitoring records revealed instances of surcharging during multiple rain events throughout the
field-testing period. Additionally, the calibrated hydraulic wastewater model identified surcharging in
the gravity lines upstream of the lift station under 2-year 24-hour design storm conditions, Indicating
insufficient capacity to handle peak wet weather wastewater flows. Both the City of Pearland and
Harris County stand to benefit significantly from this project, as it will ensure regulatory compliance
by preventing surcharging and sanitary sewer overflows within the gravity sewer system.
G. Environmental, Economic, and quality of Life Benefits
The proposed regional lift station expansion alms to alleviate and mitigate potential environmental
issues arising from surcharging during multiple rain events observed during the field-testing period
The occurrence of surcharging in the gravity lines upstream of the lift station under 2-year 24-hour
design storm conditions indicates a capacity deficiency in handling peak wet weather wastewater
flows. By addressing this capacity shortfall, the project seeks to prevent potential structural failures,
thereby avoiding associated economic burdens.
H. Stakeholder Partnerships and Contributions
The proposed partnership contribution entails a 50 % allocation of City funds, amounting to
$1,710,000.00, with a corresponding request for a 50 % cost contribution, also totaling
$1,710,000.00, from Harris County Precinct 2. The total estimated project cost is $3,420,000.00.
Harris County will have the option to take the lead and provide input during various phases of the
project if desired. However, the City is fully prepared to lead, facilitate meetings, gather information,
and drive the project forward with guidance from Harris County.
1. Project Life Cycle Costs
The proposed Lift Station Capacity Expansion is located inside the city limit and is expected to be
maintained by the City of Pearland.
