Pasadena Seeks Bids for Wyatt, Hiawatha and Crestford Lift-Station Projects

Pasadena is seeking contractor proposals for wastewater lift-station replacement work at three city facilities, with responses due August 31, 2026.

The city posted the solicitation on July 29, 2026, under bid numbers WW103, WW104 and WW105. The listing identifies WW103 as the Wyatt Lift Station project, WW104 as the Hiawatha Lift Station project and WW105 as the Crestford Lift Station project.

As of August 4, 2026, the procurement remains open. The current record does not identify a selected contractor, final contract price, construction start date, completion date or expected neighborhood impact.

Three wastewater lift-station projects

Pasadena’s FY 2025-FY 2029 adopted capital improvement plan identifies all three projects as lift-station replacements. Lift stations are part of the wastewater collection system and help move sewage through the network.

The city has also described its wastewater maintenance responsibilities as including lift-station pumps, valves, control panels and monitoring equipment. The current bid listing, however, does not by itself specify the detailed construction scope for each facility.

A city agenda request dated January 15, 2026, identified WW103, WW104 and WW105 among wastewater projects connected with proposed construction-management and inspection services. The request listed a total appropriation of $1,695,397.50 for a broader group of drainage, paving and water-wastewater projects, rather than establishing a final construction price for these three lift stations.

Financial report lists separate project figures

Pasadena’s 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report lists the three projects separately in its wastewater capital-project schedule for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

• WW103, Wyatt Lift Station Replacement: $152,090 appropriated and $58,135 spent to date.
• WW104, Hiawatha Lift Station Replacement: $148,765 appropriated and $68,904 spent to date.
• WW105, Crestford Lift Station Replacement: $141,345 appropriated and $44,270 spent to date.

Those are reported financial figures from the 2025 fiscal-year record. They are not final contract amounts for the July 29 solicitation and should not be read as proof that each project will receive an award.

What residents should watch next

For residents, the immediate significance is that Pasadena has opened a procurement for work on three wastewater facilities. The bid notice does not establish whether the work will cause service interruptions, road closures, traffic changes, construction noise or other neighborhood effects.

Those details would depend on later records, including bid evaluations, award decisions, executed contracts and construction notices. An active solicitation is a request for contractor proposals, not a confirmation that construction will begin.

Contractors must submit proposals by August 31, 2026. Later city records should show whether the projects are awarded, which contractors are selected, the final prices and the timing and conditions of any construction.
