1.3 System re-activation focuses strictly on the core water conveyance infrastructure to include but not limited to: the intake structure, raw water pumps, surge vessel, pneumatic charging system, primary pipeline control and relief valves, high-point air valves, and main electrical switchgear. SCADA programming and network telemetry integration between the pump station and the on-base Water Treatment Plant (WTP) will be performed separately by the WTP construction contractor (RSCI) and base personnel.

1.4 Upon completion of the required functional equipment testing, pipeline filling, and a continuous 3.5-million-gallon flow demonstration to the on-base WTP, the contractor shall formally transfer operational control of the WTS to the 366th Civil Engineer Squadron Operations Flight (366 CEO) to support ongoing commissioning and performance demonstration of the base WTP.

1.5 Government Disclaimer and Contractor Verification of Technical Data: All technical parameters, volumetric flow rates (e.g., GPM/MGD), system pressures (PSI), total dynamic heads (TDH), static heads, pipe dimensions, and topographical elevations stated in this SOW and its appendices are provided solely for general informational and reference purposes. The Government assumes no responsibility or liability for the completeness, accuracy, or operational validity of these figures.

The Contractor shall be solely responsible for drawing and specification review, site inspection, and field verification of all actual operating pressures, hydraulic gradients, elevations, pipeline lengths, and volumetric flow capacities prior commencing work.

2.0 Topographical

2.1 Topographical & Hydraulic Context:

• The C.J. Strike Intake Pump Station is located on the Snake River at normal pool elevation ~2,455 ft MSL, while the terminal receiving facilities at Mountain Home AFB sit on the Snake River Plain plateau at ~2,996 ft MSL.

• This profile creates approximately (234 to 238 PSI of static water column head).

• To overcome this static lift and dynamic line friction over 14.5 miles, the pump station discharge manifold and lower penstock operate at high pressures (approaching 280 to 300 PSI), whereas the upper plateau segments along Highway 67 transition into lower hydraulic head, utilizing 20-inch HDPE (DR 17 IPS) rated for 125 PSI.

• Construction of the raw water intake pump station, steel concrete lined penstock, surge tanks, auxiliary equipment, and 14.4-mile transmission pipeline was completed in the spring/summer of 2025 under contract to IDWR.
