Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to construct approximately one mile of new 16" waterline to connect between existing infrastructure south of Carefree Highway and the new 10A-B1 Booster Pump Station (BPS). Approximately one mile of new 16" waterline will also be constructed along Lone Mountain Road for system resiliency when the BPS is operational. Garney will begin in an agency support role for CMAR Preconstruction Services. Garney will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price agreement.
Garney’s services include, but are not limited to: extensive coordination with the Water Services Operations team as well as with the Town of Cave Creek and their representatives; perform construction activities in parallel within a tight construction schedule and budget; and coordinate with Remote Facilities and Distribution for shutdown and isolation of the BPS and waterlines. A Small Business Enterprise goal will be established for this project upon substantial completion of Preconstruction Services and prior to the start of construction.
This agreement is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations for the City.
