TFPS Pipe Repair Proposal Discussion - 2025 07-July 18
Date: 2025 07-July 18
Design Team Proposal
- For trickling filter towers / ATF pipe repair solution
- Cost estimates
- Do we like it?
Brian Hilts:
- What needs to be replaced?
- Replace the headers and valves that are exposed at the trickling filter pump station.
- Removal-and replacement of what is already there, using carbon steel piping, replacing like-for-like, what is already there.
- All the work will be above grade - even the pipe on the very west side of the station
- There will be no electrical work - just a piping and valve swap-out
- There are motor actuators on those vales, so they are automatically closed when the pump is offline. They will be replacing both the blue and orange values (see drawing).
- The light blue diverter valve, the light red piping, the blue and orange valves - all will be replaced. Coloring is for the purpose of this discussion to indicate what will be replaced.
- The intent is to leave the pipe supports - this will be revisited. Indicated below as "DEMOLISH PIPE SUPPORTS". Brian Stacks says there is a lot of rust.
- Mike Brower: This drawing does not reflect what is being said. None of the below ground stuff will be worked on. Only what is exposed, above grade.
- Yari Hernandez: A new document will be provided that is accurate for the coming work.
- The approximate cost from a construction perspective is ?
- CDM Smith will get with the subs for proposals from them
Craig Gadberry (CDM Smith) - Cost:
-
Ductile cement mortar lining (10 million USD) - contrary to swap for swap
-
epoxy lining (9 million USD) - contrary to swap for swap
-
carbon steel (?)
-
Yari - we have money available under GMP 3 and GMP 4, but not the complete amount under a single GMP
-
Purchasing of values under procurement can be in a 3 million dollar bin, release those materials under a change order to the sub, then releasing the change order to another sub
-
Maybe 5 million plus 3 million dollars = 8 million total
-
Dependent on PCO's
-
Brian Hilt asked Craig to check the price for carbon steel
Tasha
- What is the timeline necessary to get back to CDM Smith?
- Yari - by the end of the month (July), within about two weeks.
