Report
Summary
The Water Main Replacement Program focus is on evaluation and replacement of 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 for these projects typically includes: installing new 6-inch to 12-inch water mains; plugging abandoned mains; and installing or relocating fire hydrants. Coordination with City staff and plumbing contractors regarding relocation of water services also may be required.
Haydon Building Corp. 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 from knowledge of marketplace conditions; planning and scheduling project/construction phases to minimize interruption to City operations; evaluation of alternate systems; providing constructability studies and long-lead procurements; assisting in permitting processes; and participation in the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) process to establish the SBE goal for construction.
