Impact Statement
Purpose of Proposed Legislation and Background Information
The purpose of this legislation is to amend Contract No. 30006282 with Parametrix, Inc. (Parametrix) for additional scope of work to the contract for the Lombard Pump Station Upgrade and Forcemain Replacement project. Council authorization is required for amendments to PTE contracts that increase the contract amount by more than 25% of the original contract amount and the total amended contract amount is in excess of $1,250,000.
The Lombard wastewater pump station (PS), originally constructed in 1983 is located at 12902 N Lombard Street, the pump station is near Port of Portland Terminals, and located adjacent to the Columbia Slough. This PS serves the surrounding industrial district, as well as receives flows from three other pump stations in the collection system, Marine Drive PS, Columbia Slough PS, and Simmons PS.
Parametrix was awarded a Professional, Technical & Expert Services (PTE) contract for design services for the Lombard Pump Station Upgrade Project, and the contract has been amended once previously. The project is currently in the Design phase and numerous unanticipated developments have introduced additional complexities and scope to the project necessitating a second amendment.
The additional scope and fee associated with this amendment includes:
- Design of Site Security Improvements
- This will improve security at the remote Lombard Pump Station, reducing risk of equipment loss and damage and improving staff safety.
- Design of Landscaping for Increased Development Impact Area
- This will increase the scope of the landscaping design to match the anticipated increased development impact area and ensure that restoration in the environmental zone and in the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area is completed properly. The increase in development impact area is due to seismic improvements at the site.
- Design of Roof Access and Fall Protection Improvements
- Based on input from BES Health and Safety, this will provide an exterior roof access ladder and parapet designed for fall protection.
- Design to incorporate recently updated BES preferences and guidelines for Instrumentation and Controls and Communication
- This will ensure that the pump station is built to meet updated 2021 guidelines.
- Design of Force Main Modifications to Accommodate Arborist and Portland Parks Input
- This will allow for maximum preservation of trees.
- Increase railroad coordination
- This will allocate more time for Parametrix to support coordination with Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific as well as supporting coordination with the Port of Portland regarding the Port owned railroad line.
Construction for this project is anticipated to begin in Winter of 2023-24. The project will improve the functionality, operability, and reliability of the Lombard Pump Station and Lombard Force Main. Lombard Pump Station is a critical pump station in protecting the health and safety of the Columbia Slough.
Financial and Budgetary Impacts
The current not to exceed value of this contract is $1,651,119. This amendment will add $261,774, an increase of 16% over the current approved contract.

Funding for the project is available in the Sewer System Operating Fund, FY 2021-2022 Budget, Bureau of Environmental Services, WBS Element E10920. The project is included in the adopted BES CIP budget for FY2021-2022.
The project is consistent with City Policy to protect public health and the environment by reducing overflows to the Columbia Slough and improving conveyance of sewage to CBWTP for treatment.
There are no legal or controversial issues identified at this time.
Community Impacts and Community Involvement
It is anticipated that there will be minimal to no impact to the community associated with this Amendment, as this contract work is primarily engineering services. The Bureau of Environmental Services has Public Involvement Staff in the Communications Division who will be providing extensive outreach, education, and public involvement to the community during the design and construction phases of this work.
100% Renewable Goal
- This project will neither increase nor decrease the City’s total energy use.
