The project area is located in Northeast El Paso near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Loma Real Avenue. These improvements are part of the Northeast Water Master Plan, to meet future demand due to population growth in the Northeast area of El Paso. The Loma Real site will consist of a Type III prestressed concrete ground storage tank with water storage volume of 5 million gallons. A second 5 million gallon ground storage tank will be installed in the future by others (not part of this contract). The Loma Real tank will serve the East High-Pressure Zone and provide suction supply to the proposed Loma Real pump Station. The proposed Loma Real Pump Station will have an initial capacity of 6-million gallons per day and a future ultimate capacity of 10-million gallons per day. The Loma Real tank and pump station will be located on a 9.1-acre property owned by EPWater at Loma Real Avenue near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The Loma Real Pump Station will supply water to the new Franklin East 1B ground storage tank via a new 30-inch transmission main. The 30-inch transmission main will consist of approximately 3,600 liner feet of approved pipe installed along Loma Real Avenue and will convey water to the proposed Franklin East 1B Tank. The transmission main will include trenchless installation through the Martin Luther King Jr. right of way. The proposed Franklin East 1B tank will be a Type III prestressed concrete ground storage tank with a water storage volume of 3 million gallons. The tank will serve future demands for the lower reaches of the areas east of War Highway and the Stateline in the Franklin East 1 pressure zone. The site will be located on a 5.7-acre property owned by EPWater, east of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Loma Real Avenue Intersection. The total cost for preconstruction and construction services is currently budgeted at $40 million. The Project completion date is estimated to be Summer 2025. Deadline for questions June 19, 2023
