The proposed City of Gordon Water System Improvements will consist of replacing the old clarifier with new plate settlers to maintain the plant's capacity at 0.85 MGD and allow for future expansion. It includes improvements to the water treatment plant's plumbing, electrical, and SCADA. Improvements to the Thurber Pump Station to maintain proper pressure and volume are also proposed. Additionally, the project replaces 9,200 feet of distribution line and installs two new 450-foot connecting bores. Existing pipes along FM-919 will be replaced with 6- or 8-inch piping to meet TCEQ pressure requirements. The waterline replacement includes new valves, pavement repair, and other appurtenances. Two 450-foot segments will be installed under Interstate Highway 20 in 14-inch casings. The proposed line replacement along FM-919 will eliminate an old 3-inch line which goes cross country, improving downstream pressure and reducing water loss. The line will be abandoned in place once the new pipeline is complete. A staging area for materials will be at the Gordon Water Treatment Plant. Pipe segments will be laid along designated right-of-way, with connections made using industry-standard methods. After testing, the trench will be backfilled and areas restored to their original condition. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
