City of Portland, ME - Curtis Road Pump Station Evaluation. Project Manager and Project Engineer responsible for the
evaluation of upgrade options for the City’s aging Curtis Road Pump Station, a small 300-gopm duplex pump station serving
164 single family homes in a residential neighborhood in the City of Portland. As part of a high level City-wide Sanitary
Sewer CMOM Assessment, the pump station was scheduled for elimination however the City sought to take a second look
and perform a Business Case Study (BCS). The City’s goal of the BCS was to evaluate direct costs and non-direct costs
(environmental and social impacts) to select the best option to address the aging pump station. This was the City’s first
Business Case Study (BCS) and thus we were tasked with developing their process. We evaluated four options including
elimination and connection to another station, comprehensive upgrades to the existing station, prioritized upgrades, and
the “do nothing’ alternative. The four step process we created involved our work to Define the Project Drivers (safety and
health requirements, regulations, system limitations, reliability, cost efficiencies, and aesthetic concerns); Develop a
Problem Statement - the “why” for the project; Formulate the Options; and Complete a Triple Bottom Line Analysis of the
Options — present worth analysis to compare mutually exclusive options and using life-cycle cost inclusive of budgetary
impacts, risk, environmental considerations, and societal costs. The result of the BCS were well received and the City is
moving forward with comprehensive upgrades to the aging pump station, consistent with our recommendation.
