CM Services to Rehabilitate Park Water Systems BIBE 317515

The purpose of the Panther Junction water distribution system improvements project is to replace the existing

aging distribution system and to upgrade it, as necessary, to meet current fire flow and Texas Commission on

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulatory requirements.

The scope of this project includes:

• Design water distribution system to meet fire flow and minimum pressure requirements through hydraulic modeling.
• Construct water distribution improvements including the rehabilitation of water storage tanks (interior and exterior), distribution piping, valves, service connections, flow meters, pressure reducing valves, sampling stations, and fire hydrants.
• Provide instrumentation and control improvements which includes but not limited to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system updates, replacement of existing instrumentation, installation of additional instrumentation for monitoring and process control and radio communication modifications.
• SCADA system shall be designed to accommodate future system expansion for proposed SCADA improvements in Chisos Basin and Oak Springs.
• SCADA and supporting equipment should allow for integration between all locations (Chisos Basin, Oak Springs and Panther Junction). Sole sourcing may be required. Coordinate improvements and equipment selection with Park staff, in consideration of Park staff training and experience. SCADA design shall conform to the Department of the Interior Automated Controls Design Standards found on the Workflows Website.
• Construct electrical improvements including back-up power to maintain operation of supply production to the area, lightning protection, and power for new equipment.
• Water meters shall be designed to accommodate and be integrated with future water meter improvements in Chisos Basin and Oak Springs. Meters and supporting equipment should allow for integration between all locations (Chisos Basin, Oak Springs and Panther Junction).

Rio Grande Village

The purpose of the Rio Grande Village distribution system improvements is to connect two dead end branches of the existing distribution system with new piping to provide a looped distribution system. In addition to the looped system, all meters in Rio Grande Village will be replaced. Water meters shall be designed to accommodate future water meter improvements in Chisos Basin and Oak Springs. Meters and supporting equipment should allow for integration between all locations (Chisos Basin, Oak Springs and Panther Junction).

Further details:

A CMR will be required for approximately 12 months. The project will not be completed concurrently; however, there may be some concurrent work for a short duration. The CMR shall expect to work between Rio Grande Village and Panther Junction for approximately a month.
