Project No. 629-20-120

Redesign and Repair Domestic Water Tank

1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

1.1. The contractor shall provide all labor, travel, materials, tools, equipment and supervision necessary to design and build (Design/Build) a project to provide full usage of the water inside of a domestic water storage tank located at the New Orleans VA Medical Center, 2400 Canal St., New Orleans, LA. Work includes but is not limited to producing the following outcomes:

1.1.1. The medical center is fully capable of utilizing greater than 80% of the domestic water tank’s volume (280,000 gallons) without the distribution system entering into alarm.

1.1.2. The medical center is fully capable of utilizing greater than 80% of the domestic water tank’s volume (280,000 gallons) without the distribution system pumps cavitating or producing a loss of suction pressure.

1.1.3. The medical center shall be able to fill the tank 85% or higher than the tank’s total volume without prompting distribution system alarm, spillage, or overflow.

1.1.4. The execution of the proposed design will not compromise the facility’s access to potable domestic water during the course of this work.

1.1.5. The execution of the proposed design will not compromise the water within the tank nor expose staff or patients within the facility to water borne pathogens.

1.2. The contractor shall provide a turnkey solution of design and the execution of that design. The

DB Contractor shall include in their total bid price the scope of work for all items listed.

1.3. Background

1.3.1. The main facility has a 280,000 gallon above ground storage tank (110’-11’’ with space available 8 inches below inset at top of tank; total depth 10’-8’’ at low point) reserved for domestic water. The tank is fed by two domestic water loops that encircle the 2400 St.

Campus. The facility has a bypass in place that allows for water from the municipal source to bypass the tank and proceed to the domestic water pumps. If the bypass is not in use, water from the municipality enters the tank. The outlet of the tank then branches into three:

the first going to the above ground fire tank and out to the campus for consumption; the second to the processing tank which provides water for the boiler plant; and the third which provides potable water to the facility Currently, it is estimated that less than 50% of the volume of the tank produces usable and system accessible water. Under the current programming protocols, alarms are set at about the 8.5-foot mark and higher and at 4-foot mark and lower. It is currently assumed that the outlet of the tank which feeds the four (4) facility domestic water pumps is too high and does not allow the use of approximately 25% of the tank’s water. The inability to fully utilize greater than 50% of the tank has resulted in skewed expectations of water provisions and potential usage during an emergency event.

Over filling of the tank has led to flooding and spillage.
