Repair Site Utilities, PROJECT 589A7-22-208

PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE

This construction project will be at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center and will consist of, but is not limited to, the following improvements: The Wichita VAMC Repair Site Utilities Phase I

This project will correct deficiencies associated with an aging sanitary sewer system largely made up of cast iron (CI) and vitrified clay pipe (VCP). The work involves thorough cleaning of the existing pipe segments prior to relining with a PVC liner. As part of the pipe lining process, some manholes will require repair or replacement. Bypass pumping will be required during the cleaning and installation process.

Additionally, the existing pipe from manhole #8 will be replaced and relocated to a location approximately 250 downstream in order to allow for sufficient pipe slope to intercept the existing 8 pipe between manholes #10 and #12
