Report
Summary
The 3SE-B1 is one of two major BPSs that serve as a source (feeder) station for the Ahwatukee area, providing a reliable, redundant means to serve this portion of the City of Phoenix. BPS 2S-B3, which serves a pressure zone between Southern Avenue and South Mountain, is also located on the site and will require rehabilitation at the same time. BPSs 3SE-B1 and 2S-B3 have reached the end of their useful life and require complete replacement. Staff proposes replacing the 3SE-B1 BPS with a new 44 million gallons per day (MGD) BPS and the 2S-B3 BPS with a new 20 MGD pressure reducing valve station on a site located near the existing BPS station. Staff expect the existing stations will remain in operation during construction.
PCL Construction, Inc. will begin in an agency support role for Design Phase Services and then hold the construction contract with the City for construction of the project.
Services during the CMAR Design Phase include: providing detailed cost estimating and identification of marketplace conditions; planning and scheduling project/construction phases to minimize interruption to City operations; evaluating alternate systems; providing constructability studies; advising on potential efficiencies in project delivery; performing and initiating long-lead studies and procurements; assisting in permitting processes; and participating in the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) process to establish the SBE goal prior to construction.
