Summary
The purpose of this project is to work closely with the Water Services Department Engineering and Operations teams as well as potential Job Order Contractors to assist with identifying, scheduling, and budgeting Capital Improvement Projects for future fiscal years and developing future assessment and rehabilitation cycles of the Booster Pump Stations (BPS) Program.
Black and Veatch Corporation's services include, but are not limited to: identifying the projects needed for the current program duration; completing site visits to each of the four BPSs; and providing photos of equipment, tags, visual condition notes, and other tasks as needed to collect data to calculate risk of failure and consequences of failure for each BPS site. The program manager will develop criteria for prioritizing projects and perform assessments for the booster pump stations; track and keep information regarding repairs and rehabilitation made to each BPS; and provide detailed cost estimates for each station. Minor design and construction administration and inspection services will be provided as needed for small BPS improvements.
