The scope of work for this project involves the rehabilitation of the Bayo Non-Potable Booster Station, which serves the parks and golf course in Los Alamos during the irrigation season. Originally built in 1992, the booster station requires upgrades to ensure continued efficient operation and to meet irrigation demands, especially in pumping water up to a mesa where customers are located. These upgrades need to be completed within the irrigation downtime period, which runs from October to March. The project is structured into a base bid and two bid alternates, and depending on the awarded portions, the work includes a variety of tasks such as interior piping modifications, yard piping updates, civil site work, an updated disinfection system, architectural improvements, electrical modifications, and the installation of lightning protection. The base bid includes electrical modifications, such as upgrades to power and control panels, replacement of the Motor Control Center (MCC) with Benshaw soft starters, and relocation of the existing power transformer and electrical cabinet. Additionally, the electrical work will involve lighting and receptacle upgrades. Modifications to the interior piping will include replacing two 8- inch butterfly valves, upgrading the pressure relief system, and installing air relief valves. Yard piping work will require the installation of new gate valves to replace two existing non-operable valves, which will be left open in place. This portion of the work will also require civil site work, such as removing and rebuilding retaining walls and regrading the northern area of the booster station. The design of the retaining walls will be the contractor’s responsibility, ensuring they are fit for the needs of the station. Architectural improvements will address both the interior and exterior of the building, including replacing doors, repairing walls and the roof as needed, and repairing gutters and downspouts.
