on the Lake Oswego Interceptor Sewer (LOIS)

The LOIS system will replace the interceptor sewer line, the backbone of the City's wastewater system, located in Oswego Lake. Replacement of the interceptor is critical to ensuring the environmental protection of Oswego Lake and maintaining sewer service for residents. The existing interceptor is undersized, resulting in overflows during heavy rains, and is vulnerable during an earthquake.

Pump Stations Contractor Selected

^{January 12, 2008}

On Tuesday, January 5, the Lake Oswego City Council awarded the Bryant Road and Foothills Road Pump Station construction contract to James W. Fowler Co. of Dallas, OR. The general contractor's bid of $1,789,050 was below the Engineer's Estimate of $2,515,800.

In the next few weeks, the Contractor will sign and return contracts along with all required bond, insurance, and special forms for review and approval by City staff. If that paperwork is correct, the contracts will be signed by the City Manager and returned to James W. Fowler Co. At that time, any administrative submittals, if needed, will be required before a preconstruction conference is scheduled.

The LOIS Team will schedule a "Meet the Contractor" session in February for neighbors who live near the Pump Station sites.

Work is scheduled to be complete by May, 2011.
