Overview of Selection Process and Proposal Requirements for further information. the City Council Adopted Strategic Roadmap to invest in water infrastructure, the City aims to upgrade the water distribution system by replacing approximately 2.5 miles of water pipelines annually. The primary objectives of the program are to improve the City's water distribution system, continue to provide adequate fire flow, and enhance the water supply reliability of the water distribution system. This 2024 Water Line Replacement Project At Various Locations involves replacing approximately 24,695 feet of existing 6, 8, and 12-inch cast iron and asbestos cement water mains at various locations throughout the City. The City has a population of approximately 160,000 residents and is serviced by approximately 375 miles of water distribution pipelines. The City obtains its entire water supply from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). Water is delivered to the City by transmission pipelines and pump stations to boost pressure when necessary. The distribution system consists of 8 main pressure zones, 16 water storage tanks, and 7 pump stations delivering water to upper pressure zones. The City has approximately 37,500 service connections in various sectors such as commercial, industrial, residential, and institutional/governmental. The City compiled a water line replacement list, as shown in Attachment 1, which includes water mains that are selected for replacement for a variety of reasons including being undersized, having exceeded service life, frequency of breaks, and/or upgrades needed for supply reliability and fire flow improvements. The engineering and design services to be performed include reviewing existing information on water mains and appurtenances listed in Attachment 1, assessing the repair, replacement, or rehabilitation options of these facilities, and preparing the specifications, construction plans, and cost estimates based on the selected construction method. The water map book sheets for these pipe segments are shown in Attachment 2. The City has record drawings and as-builts for some of the existing water mains, which can be provided upon request to the consultant during the RFP and will be provided to the selected consultant for use during design. However, there are water lines where there is no or limited information as-built information, and the consultant may need to pothole and locate if necessary to develop profile information.
