III. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Introduction The project area is located at the entrance to the Rockridge neighborhood, near 2614 Borrego Dr, Durango, CO 81301. The project includes the replacement of the existing pump station with a factory-built pump station that is to be procured by the contractor. The existing pump station will be salvaged and stored on the project site for future use by the City of Durango.
The proposed pump station replacement will require the installation of approximately 100 linear feet of ductile iron pipe, including the installation of one 8-inch gate valve and one 12-inch gate valve at the water main on Borrego Drive. The installation will require the relocation of the existing irrigation box and surface drainage features. It will also require the removal and replacement of one (1) 3-inch diameter tree. The contractor will install approximately 160 linear feet of security fencing around the pump station and generator site. It is the contractor's responsibility to provide temporary power to the pump station(s) during transformer upgrades and pump station cut over.
The contractor will furnish and install a backup generator on the project site, including the foundation and all associated conduits/electrical. The existing pump station must be salvaged prior to the installation of the generator, as detailed in the project schedule.
The construction plans and specifications are included as attachments to this invitation.
Project Schedule The project scope requires a temporary shutdown of the water supply to the Rockridge neighborhood in order to tie in the factory-built pump station. Shutdowns must be coordinated and approved by the City of Durango Project Manager and must have all appurtenances for pipe tie-ins on site. Generally, shutdowns will only be permitted for
Rockridge Pump Station Replacement Page 8 of 31 rev 10/20/2025 a maximum of 5 hours, from Monday through Thursday. It is the contractor's responsibility to provide temporary power to the pump station(s) during transformer upgrades and pump station cut over. Once the proposed pump station is commissioned, the existing pump station can be salvaged, allowing installation of the generator, foundation, and associated electrical.
Standard Requirements All improvements shall meet City of Durango standards and comply with project construction drawings and specifications. Specification documents include the City of Durango Parks & Recreation Irrigation and Landscape Standards and Tree Planting Details, and the City of Durango Development Standards for Public Improvements and Construction Specifications.
