REPAIR WATERLINES AROUND AIRFIELD, PHASE II

Repair the existing water distribution mains by replacing the water mains along a new route within the roadway right-of-way to eliminate the distribution mains running through the flightlines. This amounts to approximately 38,400 linear feet of 16-in and 12-in new water mains. New fire hydrants will be installed along the proposed alignments in accordance with the UFC and NFPA requirements, providing water main connections onto existing distribution mains and service lines that feed the current facilities, and providing new pressure reducing valve systems to balance the water distribution network’s pressure and flows. Proposed repairs to lines running through the runways includes trenching to existing mains (abandon in place) and filling with flowable structural concrete, then backfill to existing grade with excavated material. Other existing mains will be abandoned in place. This project also includes SCADA to enable continual monitoring ensuring water quality is constant and meets requirements. A Cultural Assessment Survey will be conducted on all new water main routes. Sustainable principles, to include life cycle cost-effective practices, will be integrated into the design, development, and construction of the project in accordance with UFC 1-200- 02.
