Title
Fire Hydrant Flushing and Valve Exercising to Assess Water System - RFP 24-039
History
The Public Works Department is requesting to implement a “Water System Assessment Program”. This program has five (5) primary goals to keep our system properly maintained:
1. Perform a fire hydrant assessment on the distribution system to such an extent as to locate, evaluate, and improve the operability of the fire hydrants through hands on field activities.
2. Perform water main capacity assessment on the distribution system to such an extent as to assess, record water flowed, mark, and grease fire hydrants through hands-on field activities.
3. Perform a valve assessment on the distribution system to such an extent as to locate, evaluate, and improve the operability of the valves in the water distribution system through hands on field activities.
4. Document, integrate, and analyze location, operational, and physical information of fire hydrants and valves in the water distribution system through this program.
5. To continually develop and redevelop the scope of this project for continuation as an ongoing program.
There are three (3) scopes to the overall project as follows.
Scope of Service 1: Fire Hydrant Assessment
Develop, plan, and execute a program to locate, inspect, assess, operate, record water flowed, mark, grease, create a deliverable database in a format suitable and compatible with the Village of Orland Parks current GIS/Database system platform, and create work orders for fire hydrants. This program will address approximately one thousand nine (1,009) fire hydrants per year [20% of Village’s five thousand eleven (5,011) total fire hydrants] for three (3) years, with the option for two (2) one-year extensions.
Scope of Service 2: Water Main Capacity
This scope is for flow testing of fire hydrants within the utility to determine main capacity for approximately one thousand nine (1,009) fire hydrants per year [20% of Village’s five thousand eleven (5...
