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 Valve 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 will begin in an agency support role for CMAR Preconstruction Services. Hunter will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreement.
Hunter's services include, but are not limited to: advising the City on ways to gain efficiencies in project delivery, provide construction phasing and scheduling that will minimize interruptions to City operations, be responsible for construction means and methods, and solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors to perform work. A Small Business Enterprise goal will be established for this project upon substantial completion of Preconstruction Services and prior to the start of construction.
