Report
Summary
The Water Main Replacement Program evaluates and replaces aging water mains within the City of Phoenix. One focus of the program is on water mains in alleys and easements, which historically have had high break rates and are difficult to repair.
Work for the first project bounded by 16th to 20th streets and McDowell Road to Oak Street (WS85509007) includes replacement of approximately 5.2 miles of water main ranging from four-inch to 12-inch pipeline, 44 fire hydrants, and 400 water service connections. Work for the second project bounded by 12th to 16th streets and Glendale to Orangewood avenues (WS85509011) includes replacement of approximately 3.5 miles of water main ranging from four-inch to 12-inch pipeline, 48 fire hydrants, and 230 water service connections.
Pulice Construction, Inc., will assume the risk of delivering the project through a GMP contract. Pulice Construction, Inc.'s initial contract services will include preparation of a GMP proposal for the construction services provided under the contract. Pulice Construction, Inc., will participate with the City in a process to set a local and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the project, and implement the local and SBE process. The CMAR will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. Pulice Construction, Inc., may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work. The CMAR's GMP contract will be implemented under an amendment to this contract.
