Title
Catalina Subdivision Water Main and Storm Improvements- Phase II 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 will start with this Phase in 2024 and be completed in Phase III in 2025.
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 2023 with one small area to be done in spring 2024.
Phase II will consist of water main replacement improvements for three (3) streets and eleven (11) courts. Storm main improvements to include a dry detention basin were also part of the scope. This work will be completed in 2024 and was part of bid package below.
Phase III consisting of water main replacement improvements as well as storm improvements will be completed in 2025.
Based on available 2024 funding, a request for proposals was advertised on BidNet Direct from January 12, 2024, to February 13, 2024, for Phase II of the Catalina Water Main Improvements.
