Site work for a water / sewer project in Denver, Colorado. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

As of February 1, 2024, a general contractor has been awarded. A notice to proceed has not been issued yet, therefore a firm timeline for start of construction has not been determined. Substantial construction is expected by March 31, 2025. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: General Project Management Project Management Plan development Project controls and reporting Project design meetings Project milestone review workshops (30%, 60%, and 90%) The WISE DIA Connection is a project to deliver between 1 and 6 MGD of water from the Denver Water potable system at Denver International Airport (DIA) to the City of Aurora (Aurora) Prairie Water Pump Station No. 2 (PWPS2). There will be approximately 6 miles of pipeline which will span the jurisdictions of the City and County of Denver, unincorporated Adams County, and the City of Commerce City. See Figure 1 for general pipeline layout. At the pipelines endpoint at the PWPS2, metering, backflow protection, pressure reduction and control facilities will be needed, along with a connection to Aurora existing pipeline. The pipeline and control facilities are required to be operational by March 30, 2025. Proposals are requested for Civil, Survey, Geotechnical, Mechanical, and Electrical, Instrumentation and controls (E&IC) design services. The Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency (WISE) project is a partnership between Aurora, Denver Water, and the South Metro WISE Authority (South Metro). Denver Water and Aurora have committed to provide an interruptible, yet perpetual, supply to South Metro through Aurora Prairie Water Project. The WISE DIA Connection will provide a means for Denver Water to provide a portion of its water obligation to South Metro and meet required water quality targets. Water delivered through the WISE DIA Connection will blend with water from Auroras north campus and be conveyed to the Binney Water Purification Facility for treatment. While the current water delivery agreement requires deliveries through this pipeline through 2030, the intention is that this pipeline will continue to be operated post 2030 at times when Denver Water has a need to move water through its distribution system at DIA to maintain water quality. The Consultant shall coordinate and work closely with the Owners Design Project Manager (DPM) and engineering support team on the design. The Consultants scope will be to provide the design plans and technical specifications necessary to construct the pipeline, appurtenances, and control facilities and to assist during bidding of the project. The Consultants scope will also include identifying and assisting with Owner-provided procurement items and preparing technical portions of permit applications that will be submitted by the Owner. A detailed Scope of Services follows. Environmental services related to wetlands delineation and 404 permitting, threatened or endangered species surveys and cultural resource identification will be done by the Owner. Construction phase services are not included. The Consultant will be asked to provide a proposal for construction support services before the 90% design submittal. This scope may be added as a contract amendment based on Consultant performance and at Owner discretion. Denver Water has a goal to support a diverse business community and is committed to providing opportunities for minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE).
