BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION
DWSD Project No. WS-718 is part of an ongoing distribution piping system water main replacement program. The work consists of replacing existing 6-inch, 8-inch, 12-inch, and 16-inch diameter water mains at selected locations in Detroit that have a history of frequent breaks and high maintenance cost. Lead services forecasted for replacement are 96 and represents 3.7% of the contractor’s bid. The aggregate forecasted length of Lead services being replaced with copper within the public ROW is 2,079 linear feet and 1,710 linear feet on private properties. Additionally, Lead services of one inch and less in diameter are replaced with one-inch copper tube; existing Lead services of 1.5-inches and 2-inches diameter are replaced with copper tube of the same diameter.
This water main replacement contract is one of a continuing series of contracts that replaces or lines the aged water mains in the City of Detroit having an extensive history of leaks, breaks and that have exceeded their intended service life. The new water mains and associated infrastructure will enhance the integrity of DWSD’s Water System and ensure quality service to its customers. To protect the health and safety of our customers, existing Lead (Pb) water services are being replaced with copper in both the right-of-way and from the curb box to the customer water meter.
Proposed Contract 6002987, for Project WS-718, will continue the rehabilitation of water main to provide better services to citizens of Detroit and meet the needs of future City Development.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES / COSTS
The objective of the proposed Project WS-718 is to replace existing six through sixteen-inch water mains that have a history of leaks and breaks with approximately 7,851 linear feet of 8-inch, 20 linear feet of 12-inch, and 1,650 linear feet of 16-inch water main as a combination of new ductile iron water main placed by trenching/open cut and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) piping placed through the methods of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and pipe bursting. Finally, whether the pipe is new DI pipe or HDPE pipe, all the work includes replacement of all fittings, valves, and hydrants. Finally, existing Lead water services will be replaced with copper from the water main to the customer meter. The number of Lead services forecasted for replacement through this project is 96 and the Lead Water service replacement work represents 3.7% of the contractor’s bid. The aggregate forecasted length of Lead services being replaced with copper within the public ROW is 2,079 linear feet and 1,710 linear feet on private properties. Should additional Lead services be encountered over the course of the work, they shall also be replaced at the rates established in the Bid Schedule.
