The Design Professional’s Scope of Services for this Project may include, but not necessarily limited to, project administration, preliminary field and record investigations, property and utility surveys, preliminary and final design, and preparation of construction drawings for bidding. For General Design Guidelines, see the latest version of Rules and Regulations for Water Main Extensions and Relocations, which are incorporated herein by reference (available on City’s web page at https://www.kcwater.us/projects/rulesandregulations/) Design criteria for these Projects shall include the following: • Evaluate the overall distribution system within the project area to ensure adequate capacity and pressure to all customers. • Replace break-prone or obsolete water mains and appurtenances and provide transfer of existing services to new mains.• Ensure adequate fire protection for all residences, businesses, and facilities. • Locate new water mains and appurtenances in the public right of way, avoiding acquisition of private easements. If a private easement is necessary, the proposed alignment should cause the least disturbance to existing features and improvements. • Eliminate dead ends within the water distribution system by providing main loops. • Provide sufficient valves to isolate mains into segments to maintain water service to adjacent customers to the maximum extent feasible. • Locate valves on all sides of proposed water main junctions.
