Title
Purchase Order for Phase IV-A of a 36-inch Water Transmission Main Project (B)
Explanation
Water/Wastewater Systems has budgeted funds for a multi-year phased capital improvements program to construct a 36-inch water transmission main that is proposed to extend from the Murphree WTP to the existing NW Repump Station. Continuing significant potable water customer demands within the service area requires improvements to the existing water transmission infrastructure for continued reliable service. This project improves pressures throughout the service area. Phases I, II, and III from the 1500 block of NE 53rd Avenue to the 3400 block of NW 53rd Avenue have been completed. Phase IV-A of the capital improvements project involves the construction equipment, materials, and labor required to install 3600 feet of 36-inch cement lined ductile iron water transmission main furnished by GRU as a standard material item. The project also includes restoring the protective cover for an existing 24-inch water main at a stormwater ditch crossing.
Invitations for Bids for the NW 53rd Avenue 36-inch Water Main Extension Project - Phase IV-A were sent by Utilities Purchasing to four companies that perform this type work, with two responding. A tabulation of the bids is attached for your information.
