Architectural, Landscape Architectural, Engineering and Land Surveying Firms Only (CCNA) Water Main Route Evaluation Report, West Palm Beach. FL , As a result of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) relocating the Flagler �? Memorial Bridge, the City of West Palm Beach was required to relocate an existing H y subaqueous 24 -inch water main that conflicted with the new bridge location. To implement # rc the most beneficial relocation route for the City, we developed a water main route® evaluation report. The project included evaluating four alternative water main alignments = to cross the Intracoastal Waterway from the City of West Palm Beach to the Town of Palm Beach. The report discussed community impacts, constructability, permit feasibility, and i a recommendation to proceed with a preferred water main route. Extensive coordination: was required with project stakeholders such as the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE), Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Palm Beach County Health Department (PBCHD), City of West Palm Beach, and 3 the Town of Palm Beach to identify requirements, concerns and obtain feedback pertaining to issues that affect the permitting, design, construction, schedule, and cost of the r ._ proposed project. A primary focus of the project was to develop a design and construction schedule that will comply with FDOT's schedule to begin construction of the new Flagler =* Memorial Bridge in 2010. The City's existing water main must be relocated before the start of bridge construction. The proposed water main routes included both upland open -cut and - subaqueous horizontal direction drill segments for all of the approaches. The final water main route evaluation report summarized stakeholder issues, permit feasibility, project timeframes, preliminary opinions of probable cost, and included a recommendation to proceed with the preferred route. The report also included proposed connection points, overall pipe lengths, construction methods, pipe material, and known or potential issues and constraints for each route. Based on an approved water main route evaluation report, the project has moved into the design phase. Force Main System Study, Palm Beach, FL Kimley -Horn is currently developing a system wide force main model for the Town to evaluate the improvements necessary to determine the appropriate force main sizes and station upgrades necessary to abandon the practice of pumping wastewater through the City of Lake Worth force main system. This analysis includes additional flows from Manalapan and South Palm Beach and will ultimately lay the ground work for the system improvements required to allow flows to travel to the East Central Regional Water Reclamation Facility through only the force main shared by the Town and the City of West Palm Beach. WaterGEMS is being used to model the system and provides the Town the added benefit of being able to import the model graphics into the Town's existing GIS database. F 144;-0 OY26W21.144D SMly Isla Brain Ca uM Prtlessaul ServicesvNo Sanitary In -Line Booster Pumping Station, Palm Beach, FL Kimley -Horn recently completed engineering and design services for the Town of Palm Beach to develop a sanitary in -line booster pumping station at an existing re -pump facility owned by the City of West Palm Beach. Kimley -Horn and the Town had worked together years earlier to develop the concept of constructing this type of station to eliminate the existing re- pump facility that has been plagued by maintenance problems, odor control issues, and deterioration due to age. The new station will allow the Town to abandon the existing station and allow the City of West Palm Beach to convert the re -pump station into a storage facility. The proposed in -line booster station will handle approximately 5 MGD and boost pressures to pump the Town's wastewater west to the Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. Kimley> »Horn
