First High Reservoir Improvements, Washington Aqueduct Division, Washington, DC.

The Washington Aqueduct provides portable water to approximately one million people in the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. Finished water from the Washington Aqueduct is pumped to our wholesale customers through one of four service mains namely; the low service main, the first high service main, the second high service main or the third high service main. Potable water from the Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant is pumped via our first high service to the First High Reservoir. This reservoir has a capacity of 14.5 MG and is located at intersection of Whitehaven Parkway and Foxhall Rd in Washington. DC.

The project consists of providing a comprehensive rehabilitation to the First High Reservoir to address drainage, safety, operational and sanitary survey issues previously identified. This will result in a structurally sound reservoir, improving water quality and operation within the distribution system. This reservoir is a critical component of the distribution system and so the construction period has to be minimized.

The work includes civil, structural, mechanical and electrical improvements to the First High Reservoir to increase its reliability and improve its function. Specific work items include floor, wall, column and roof slab structural repairs, waterproofing membrane installation, surface drainage improvements and large valve, gate and piping improvements.

The project also involves the demolition and re-building of the existing sample building.

The proposed procurement will be unrestricted, using NAICS Code: 237110 with a business size standard of $33.5 million. The estimated magnitude of construction is between $10,000,000.00 and $25,000,000.00.
