The City currently has 10 sewer lift stations and 5 storm lift stations. Starting in 1995,
Public Works converted all alarm functions, pump control logic, radio communication and
data logging functions to one specific type of panel for operational consistency at all lift
stations. These configurations were built and supported by Calvert Technical Services, Inc.
Council is being asked to approve this resolution to authorize the continuation of sole
source purchase of the lift station control systems from Calvert Technical Services, Inc.
