Third High Reservoir Maintenance & Improvements

This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice This project will be announced as W912DR19B0004. Project Third High Reservoir Maintenance & Improvements The proposed procurement is unrestricted, NAICS 237110 with a magnitude of construction between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. The project consists of implement upgrades and improvements to the Third High Reservoir to address operational and sanitary survey issues previously identified. This will result in improved water quality and operation within the distribution system. This reservoir is an approximate 380 LF x 300 LF subsurface structure that is 26 feet deep that was built in mid 1950s. It has a capacity of 21.2 MG and is located adjacent to Fort Reno Park in Washington. DC. The work includes architectural, mechanical, electrical and civil improvements to the finished water storage structure that will increase its reliability and improve its function and the replacement of the influent and effluent buildings; the replacement of large valve assemblies; installation of mechanical mixers; sealing of all interior joints and cracks; the re-routing of a sample line and the interception of the reservoir drain line to construct a deep manhole to separate flow from the sewer system by creating an air-gap. This reservoir is a critical component of the distribution system and so the reservoir outage period is restricted. Hence, an experienced contractor with resources and expertise to handle the following project constraints is needed: i. The reservoir roof surface has limited weight restrictions and can only be taken out of service between the months of November thru March. Hence all work needing to be performed inside the reservoir has to be completed within that time frame. ii. The demolition and re-building of brick buildings must be done within a limited outage window during the winter months when the reservoir is out of service. iii. Access into the reservoir structure is limited and all work therein is considered confined space work. iv. The reservoir is located in a residential neighborhood adjacent to a public park owned by the National Park Service. v. The existing security server and associated equipment is to be removed and re-installed by a professional security contractor.
