Reconstruct Locust Street Pump Station

The work involves the construction of improvements to the Locust Street Pump Station. This includes the replacement and enhancement of five diesel engine-driven propeller pumps for stormwater conveyance. The existing diesel engines will be replaced with electric drive motors, and the stormwater propeller pumps will be rehabilitated. Additionally, the project entails constructing a new electrical building, installing a new emergency backup generator, and performing other miscellaneous work. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference will take place on May 14th, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the Omaha Airport Authority offices, followed by a site inspection. Additional site inspections can be arranged by appointment before the visit.
