Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to construct approximately 21,500 linear feet of 16-inch Ductile Iron Pipe transmission main within Pressure Zone 3C in the Town of Paradise Valley and a new Pressure Reducing Station (PRV) proposed to be located within Pressure Zone 4A on an existing City of Phoenix retention basin property on the southwest corner of Shea Boulevard and 45th Place. This will relieve Booster Station 3C-B1 and Well 235, which are located southwest of Invergordon and Doubletree Ranch Roads. The new 16-inch transmission main will connect to the existing 16-inch transmission main within Shea Boulevard.
Hunter's initial services will include preparation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal for the Construction Services provided under the agreement and participating with the City in a process to establish a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the project. Hunter will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. Hunter will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. Hunter may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
Hunter's services include, but are not limited to: construction of the selected alternative per final plans and specifications; solicitation of bids for major portions of the work; scheduling and managing site operations; acquisition and maintenance of required permits and licenses and coordinating with various City of Phoenix departments, other agencies, utility companies, etc.
This project is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations of the City.
