1. Project Assessment and Preliminary Design: ○ Review existing system data, service elevations, and pressure maps for the South Pressure Zone and surrounding areas. ○ Conduct field surveys and site evaluations to determine the optimal location and design parameters for the new tank. ○ Analyze the impact of the proposed pressure increase on the existing infrastructure and identify any necessary upgrades or modifications. ○ Evaluate the need for pressure reducing valves (PRVs) on customer service lines to ensure safe pressure levels for fixtures and faucets. ○ Evaluate the potential need for a master PRV. ○ Develop a preliminary design for the new 1.5 million gallon composite elevated tank, including sizing, materials, and construction methods. ○ Develop a preliminary design for connection of water lines to the 1.5-million-gallon composite elevated tank. ○ Assist the City in exploring all avenues of funding available for completion of the entirety of the project. 2. Final Design and Engineering: ○ Prepare detailed engineering designs, drawings, and specifications for the new tank, ensuring compliance with all applicable codes, regulations, and industry standards. ○ Design the necessary 5,000-foot extension connecting the 12-inch waterline on Boone Road to the 10-inch water lines on Woodland Park Road and Boone Road. ○ Provide hydraulic modeling and analysis to ensure the new tank and extension optimize system performance and allow for seamless operation with the existing Highway 5 Tank. ○ Address all potential issues related to pressure zone conversion, including infrastructure compatibility, customer impacts, and system integration. ○ Coordinate with utility companies, local agencies, and other stakeholders to obtain all necessary permits and approvals.
