CITY OF COPPELL STARLEAF PUMP STATION
Introduction
The City of Coppell invites interested firms to submit a Statement of Qualifications to provide
professional architectural, engineering and design services relating to the construction of the City
of Coppell Starleaf Pump Station for public drinking water.
Project Description
The City of Coppell wishes to develop engineering plans, architectural plans and construction
documents for the ground up construction of the new Starleaf Pump Station. This water pump
station will be located on approximately four (4) acres owned by the City of Coppell on Starleaf
Drive (reference attached maps) on two adjacent properties. The pump station will consist of a
building approximately 5,500 SF, similar to the layout of the existing Village Parkway station. We
anticipate a capacity of at least 25 MGD and 6 MG in ground storage. The end result will be an
aesthetically appealing building façade elevations and perimeter fencing that architecturally
compliments the current trends in the Coppell area.
The water source for the pump station is a 54” City of Irving waterline, which runs adjacent to the
project site. This waterline originates at the Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) Elm Fork Water
Treatment Plant in Carrollton and ends at the City of Irving’s Hackberry Creek Pump Station. The
City of Coppell intends to trade some of our water rights in a DWU 54” waterline to the City of
Irving for rights in their 54” waterline that runs adjacent to this property. The pump station
discharge will tie into the 24” waterline located in MacArthur Blvd.
Elements to be included are:

A Pump Station Building & Perimeter Fencing - similar to existing station’s layout
Sized to accommodate 25 MGD
