Request for Qualifications - Track Line Sanitary Sewer Relocation Project Phase I

This project provides for the phased relocation of 5,150 feet of the 12-inch diameter sanitary sewer that runs along the railroad tracks from Hawthorne Street to Fengler Street. The existing clay tile sewer that was installed in the 1920's still functions; however, the influx of sand and proximity of the adjacent railroad tracks has increasingly made the sewer difficult to maintain and indicates that groundwater is infiltrating into the pipe. The sewer has multiple failing sections and is undersized from hydraulic modeling results. Proximity to the adjacent railroad prohibits access for maintenance or rehabilitation activities. The sewer requires relocation to City right of way, with redirection of private laterals. The project is located adjacent to Consent Decree Sewershed 10. The funding request will provide for the initial phase design, permitting, and easement acquisition for the relocation of the track line sewer located between Hawthorne St and Roosevelt St.
