Summary of Specifications:
The Washington Avenue Outfall is a major storm sewer system designed to provide 10-year storm protection for central downtown Loveland. The system discharges to the Big Thompson River. Three of the four total phases have already been constructed, with Phase 3’s construction being completed in 2004. This project, Phase 4, will complete the system. In addition to the stormwater improvements, potable water infrastructure, concrete, and streets will be improved in the same area. In general, the work includes construction of over 10,000 feet of storm sewer ranging in size from 12- to 54-inches in diameter, approximately 60 inlets, 60 manholes, over 4,500 feet of waterline ranging in size from 6" to 12" in diameter, and four trenchless pipeline crossings of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Great Western railroad tracks (i.e. boring, jacking, or pipe ramming). The project also includes construction of stormwater quality structures, water valves, fire hydrants, concrete repairs (i.e. curb, gutter, sidewalk, and crosspans), and pavement replacement (i.e. patching, overlays, and full reconstructions). It’s anticipated that the project will cost $3 to $4 million pending completion of final design, which is in process. This is a retrofit project, so all construction will occur in existing streets in an old part of the city. Please see the attached Vicinity Map for the project area. More details of the work will be provided to short listed contractors during the bid process.
