Title
RFP 25-012 Catalina Subdivision 2025 Watermain Project - Phase III of III - Award
History
The Catalina subdivision was developed in the early 1970s. With over fifty (50) years of service, the water main has corroded on the exterior of the pipe due to lack of polyvinyl wrap that is standard today. The corrosion has caused numerous water main breaks over the years and this high concentration of breaks noted on a Village GIS layer made this area a priority to replace. The water main in the subdivision is made up of both ductile and cast iron pipe. Due to the size of the project in the Catalina subdivision, the water main and storm water improvements were broken up into three (3) phases. Storm water improvements started in 2024 and will be completed in Phase III in 2026.
Phase I of water main repairs consisted of lining the twelve-inch (12”) water main that runs from 80th Avenue and down Wheeler Drive, to Elevated Tank #5 at Wheeler and Harlem Avenue. This work was completed in the spring of 2024.
Phase II consisted of water main replacement improvements for three (3) streets and eleven (11) courts. Storm main improvements included the addition of a dry detention basin that was built on the west side of Wheeler Drive. This work will be completed in early 2025.
Phase III consists of water main replacement improvements for six (6) streets and ten (10) courts. Storm main improvements, including the addition of a dry detention basin on the east side of Wheeler Drive, are also part of the scope that will be completed in 2025.
