Body
BACKGROUND:
The Engineering Department has developed a water main rehabilitation plan to address the replacement of over 500,000 linear feet of aged and undersized water pipes throughout the city. A key deliverable of the project is the replacement of Asbestos Concrete pipes (ACP), which is the primary source of water main breaks. To undertake this enormous project, the city is divided into 9 phases each approximately one square mile in area and numbered 1 to 9.This phasing plan is illustrated in the background information. Project priority phasing was based on the frequency of water main breaks, the highest risk of failure, and the most critical infrastructure. Phase boundaries 1 to 9 were drawn to also establish uniformity in phase sizing and to minimize disruption to customers.
Phase 1 is substantially in the Coconut Creek service area and Phase 1A, which also included a small area in Margate, was completed in October 2023 by Marcdan Inc. The other sections in Phase 1 will be designed and completed in due course.
Phase 2 is bounded by Royal Palm Blvd to the north, W Atlantic Blvd to the south, Rock Island Road to the West and SR 7 to the East. Phase 2 is further subdivided into 8 sub-phases numbered 2A - 2H and this agenda item addresses a contract award for Phase 2A in the amount of $4,106,419.00 to Marcdan Inc.
The limits of Phase 2A are Margate Blvd to the north, W Atlantic Blvd to the south, SR7 to the east, and the Stranahan River to the west. The Phase 2A limits are illustrated in the background information. Phase 2A was identified as a top priority based on the highest frequency of water main breaks.
