Title of Project: NAMA 151059A - Rehabilitate Water Systems for Emergency and Potable Water Supply in Potomac Park
Description:

The purpose of this project is to construct approximately 5,200 linear feet of 12-inch diameter water main originating at the Maine Avenue point of connection to DC Water and continue to the soon to be constructed new Park Headquarters building to be located near the southwestern extent of Buckeye Dr. SW. The existing 8-inch parallel connections will be upsized to 12-inch connections and will generally follow the same alignment of the old 8-inch lines. Prior to the Ohio Dr. bridge crossing, each 12-inch line will be outfitted with a new meter and backflow preventer in corresponding new precast vaults. The parallel lines will cross the Ohio Dr. bridge and merge into a single 12-inch water line where the alignment turns 90 degrees to follow Ohio Dr. SW to the intersection with Buckeye Dr. SW. From the Buckeye Dr. SW intersection, the alignment continues in a southwesterly direction to the site of the new Park Headquarters Building. This project will also replace approximately 650 linear feet of smaller diameter (6-8 inch) water mains at critical points of connection along with incidental hydrants and valves.

It is anticipated that water mains will be primarily installed via horizontal directional drilling (HDD) methods except where open trenching offers obvious advantages.
Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that a negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price.
