This project is to locate, purchase land, and design a new 1.0 million gallon reservoir near the end of Copper Basin Road. Upon completion of the Copper Basin water line improvements and pump station upgrades this reservoir can be put into operation, which will improve pressure and flow within Zone 19. CRA is assisting the City in locating a proposed tank site and in acquiring the property as the agent for the City. The water main project to design a 12-inch main from the end of the Copper Basin Road improvements at Sheriff Posse Trail to the location of the new 1.0 million gallon reservoir. The main and tank improvements will also require upgrades to the existing pump station on Copper Basin Road from approximately 500 gpm to 1000 gpm.

It is anticipated that the land acquisition for the new storage reservoir and design for the new reservoir, water main and pump station will commence in fiscal year 2009 and will be constructed in fiscal year 2010.

The project is to design the upgrade to the existing Prescott Resort Pump Station that feeds Pressure Zone 56 from 740 gallons per minute to 1750 gallons per minute. The project has been proposed based on the City Water Distribution Model calling for a new Zone 56 reservoir to be installed at a higher elevation than the existing Prescott Canyon Reservoir with additional capacity. Per the water model master plan, the new Zone 56 reservoir and upgraded Prescott Resort Pump Station will provide required pressures, residential /commercial fire flows to the entire Zone 56 area, and will enhance pressures to the other surrounding water system zones.

For the project, Kelley/Wise Engineering and the City will be working closely with the Yavapai Indian Tribe on the new pump station design. Easements for the expansion of the facility will be required.

The project design phase is anticipated to be completed this Fall, with construction to start in the Fall of 2009 to be completed in 2010.

Questions regarding the project should be addressed to the City Project Manager, Jeff Low at (928) 777-1130 or email to jeff.low@cityofprescott.net.

The small water main replacement design was awarded to Granite Basin Engineering in January of 2009.

The water improvements include approximately 4,500 L.F. of water main along with 70 water service connections. Design is currently at 90%. Construction is scheduled for the fall of 2009. Please reference the Summary Maps.

• Rodeo Grounds

Design approximately 1,500 L.F. of 8" water main from Gail Gardner to Schemmer Drive, with all appurtenances including fire hydrants, water services and backflow prevention devices. Key issues include providing adequate fire protection for the recently acquired City property and providing needed capacity to the area along Schemmer Drive. Design will consider an underground drainage diversion for groundwater currently impacting the rodeo stands.

• Flatau Drive and Overstreet Drive

Design approximately 2,000 L.F. of 6" water main along Flatau Drive and Overstreet Drive, with all appurtenances including fire hydrants and water services. Consider a 300 L.F. cross-connection along Web Place. Key issues include providing adequate fire protection and transitioning the proposed waterline in Overstreet to a 12" waterline previously designed in Robinson Drive.

• Leroux Street & South Granite Street

Design approximately 300 L.F. of 6" water main along South Granite Street West, with all appurtenances including fire hydrants and water services and approximately 420 L.F. of 6" and 4" along Leroux Street. Key issues include working with property owners to relocate their water meters and yard plumbing. Water service will also be evaluated for a number of properties to the north and west of the project.

• Tolemac Drive to Wildwood Drive

Design approximately 400 L.F. of 8" water main along an unimproved easement between Tolemac Drive and Wildwood Drive. Key issues include an existing low water crossing inside the easement. The waterline is planned upstream from the low water crossing which will act as grade control for the streambed.

• Ute Road

Design approximately 270 L.F. of 6" water main along Ute Road from the intersection of Copper Basin Road, with all appurtenances including water services. Key issues include tying into the new line recently installed in Copper Basin Road. Recent as-built drawings from the Copper Basin Road project will be used to verify the connection point.

The project consists of designing and replacing the existing surface water recharge pipeline and related infrastructure. The project will consist of a complete design of the entire delivery system, with construction phased over two years.

The existing surface water recharge pipeline from Watson and Willow Lakes was constructed by the Chino Valley Irrigation Ditch Company in the 1940's. The concrete pipeline is severely deteriorating and the mortar connecting the two foot long sections of 30 inch diameter pipe is almost gone. Other portions of the delivery system are unlined open ditch north of SR 89A. In order to maximize surface water recharge capabilities, this line must be replaced. In addition, conflicts with ongoing development south of SR 89A have highlighted the need to realign and replace this line.

The project was awarded to Civiltec and is in the pre-final phase. Anticipated design completion is Fall 2009.

PBS&J was awarded the engineering and design service contract for replacement of the Zone 27 pump station in the vicinity of Thumb Butte Road and West Gurley Street, the design for a new 12 inch ductile water main from the replacement pump station west along Thumb Butte Road to the intersection of Butte Canyon Drive; the design for a replacement Zone 24 water reservoir and siting and property acquisition for the new Zone 27 reservoir B.

The new Zone 27 reservoir will need to be at a similar elevation to the existing Zone 27 reservoir A, but its exact location is not known at this time (see project location map). The need for these projects is to correct deficiencies identified in the water system model that was completed in 2005. These projects will enhance pressure Zone 24 and Zone 27 water delivery, storage capacity, and providing a better water system for residents. The replacement Zone 24 water reservoir, Zone 27 pump station and water main design should be complete by fall of 2009 with construction anticipated in the spring of 2010. For the new Zone 27 reservoir B, the City must acquire property for the site, prior to commencing on the design. The City will look at multiple sites and will be focusing on a site that meets the elevation requirements for the water utility system, that are less visible, and that offer more cost effective construction. The goal is to increase the water storage capacity in this critical pressure zone while constructing an aesthetically pleasing facility

Unpaved Streets FY 2011: The City of Prescott has retained PBS&J to perform engineering design services for the purpose of paving Idylwild Road, Lindbergh Drive, and Ring Drive that were previously unpaved. The project includes the upgrade of existing water and sewer facilities. The street improvement plans are complete.

Due to budgetary constraints, construction has been deferred. In the interim City forces have constructed a dust suppression membrane of recycled asphalt on Idylwild Road, Lindbergh Drive, and Ring Drive, all of which have been capped with a chip seal coat.

This project will replace and upgrade the existing 12 inch transmission main washed out during the January, 2005 floods and temporarily reconstructed, with a 14 inch main to meet capacity requirements and to reduce maintenance. This line will also be relocated out of the Willow Creek Channel with one creek crossing required.

The design has been awarded to Civiltec and is currently 100% complete. Additional right-of-way from two property owners and ADEQ approval is required. This project will not go out to bid until the summer of 2010.
