Report
Summary
The Water Main Replacement Program evaluates and replaces aging water mains within the City of Phoenix. The current primary 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 typically includes installation of new 2-inch to 12-inch water mains, multiple cut and plugs, and installation or relocation of fire hydrants. Coordination with City staff and plumbing contractors regarding relocation of water services also may be required.
Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. will begin in an agency support role for the design phase service 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 knowledge of marketplace conditions; project planning and scheduling; construction phasing and scheduling that will minimize interruption to the City; alternate systems evaluation and constructability studies; advising the City on ways to gain efficiencies in project delivery; long-lead procurement studies and initiating procurement of long-lead items; assisting in the permitting processes; protecting the owner’s sensitivity to quality, safety, and environmental factors; and advising the City on choosing green building materials.
