Modification 001 is to add attachment with Q&As and D Falcon Water Tank Diagram and D Falcon Water Tank Inspection attachments- 3/9/22
Modification 002 is to add the following Q&As - 3/11/22:
- Size of pumps needed? Capable of maintain 35 psi pressure in lines Flow rate? Can we use existing pumps? Existing pumps are used only to fill up the elevated water tank.
- Can you handle all the electrical please? Contractor shall be responsible of performing any electrical connection, 240 V.a.c single phase service available at the bottom of the tank.
- Piping connections from existing water tower into our poly tanks. You have mechanical contractor on site? Contractor shall be responsible for water tap from our pipe to the poly tanks.
- Any testing or regulatory support needed on the Compliance side? Meet requirements to be in compliance with AWWA and TCEQ.
4/1/22 Modification 003 is to add Q&As and System Plan Attachments:
What is the required flow rate that should come out of the 15,000 gallons tank? Flow rate as needed during consumption (Admin building, houses, power plant), there is no constant flow rate, they need to maintain a minimum pressure on the lines at 35 psi, to be able to distribute water the Power Plant (farthest point from the elevated water tank)
2. The agency requires the contractor to ensure sufficient pressure and flow rates throughout the distribution network. Your distribution network elevation profile and length are unknown so the contractor cannot derive pump-head requirements, hence the salient characteristics are partial, hence ambiguous. As a relief, please provide the required pump head to sustain flow rate and pressure throughout your distribution network.
Distribution network length unknown. Our system works with back gravity flow, with a minimum of 35 psi to ensure water at the Power Plant (farthest point from the elevated water tank).
3. Would the existing pump that fills up the elevated water tank is suitable to maintain 35 psi and capable of providing the required flow rate (throughout the distribution network)?
Our current pumps (260 gpm) just fill up the elevated tank on manual, the gravity provide the pressure needed to distribute the water through our distribution network.
4. Would the pump from the 15,000 gallons tank be connected to 8” distribution network? Yes
