Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Port of Houston Authority (the “Port Authority”) is seeking professional engineering services to prepare plans and specifications to design a fire suppression system at the Barbours Cut Terminal. Currently there are two fire water systems in service; the first is a fresh water system whose source is the City of Morgan’s Point, and the second is a salt water system that takes water from the Houston Ship Channel (the “Channel”). The fresh water system provides fire water for the container areas south of the wharves. The salt water system is used to supply fire water to the wharves, and it is currently supplied by an electrical pump at the Port Authority’s public wharf 7, which takes water from the Channel. This project will convert the current salt water system into a fresh water system using one of the two existing 500,000 gallons water tanks and the existing fire water lines. The two existing 500,000 gallons tanks were originally used to supply potable water to cruise vessels at the Port Authority’s former cruise terminal. The selected engineer will design a complete working fire water supply system by selecting a new electrical pump, ancillary equipment, emergency generator, design tank repairs and connections from one water tank to the existing 12” salt water line, in compliance with all current safety regulations. The tank repairs are described on a recent tank inspection report that will be made available to the selected engineer.
