This project represents
Tempe's share of all activities at the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
including: capacity expansion projects, capital equipment replacement,
modifications and additions to meet regulatory requirements, process
enhancements, and also capacity expansion of the jointly owned trunk sewer lines
that convey wastewater flows to the plant. The 91st Avenue WWTP is a
regional treatment facility that is jointly owned by five metropolitan area
cities and is operated by the City of Phoenix. The 91st Avenue WWTP comprises
the majority of Tempe's wastewater treatment program.
Alum Tank Replacement at the South Tempe Water Treatment
Plant
This project will install two
new bulk Alum storage tanks, related plumbing, and a new top fill system made of
stainless steel for unloading safety, at the South Tempe Water Treatment Plant.
Central Arizona Project Capital Charge
An agreement with the Central
Arizona Water Conservation District imposes a semiannual capital charge payable
annually through 2034. These charges repay the federal government's advance of
construction funding to build the Central Arizona Project canal system.
Distribution System Fittings
This project provides for the
acquisition, assembly and installation of water works infrastructure including
meters, valves, hydrants and water lines at multiple City locations.
Environmental Laboratory Facility
This project will construct a
new 10,000 square foot Water Utilities Department, Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building certified Environmental Laboratory
facility on existing City-owned land at the South Tempe Water Treatment Plant
site adjacent to the existing Environmental Services Building. 10,000 square
feet is believed to be sufficient space for all currently required analyses,
process control and research analyses, and future requirements added by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
HVAC Replacement at the Three Water & Wastewater
Treatment Plants
This project provides funding
to replace city owned air conditioning equipment and carpet located within the
three water and wastewater treatment plants that has been identified as being
ineffective, inefficient or has exceeded its life span according to the Public
Works facility maintenance division. The replacement schedule is as follows:
2008-09: replace 17 heat pumps
at the Johnny G. Martinez Water Treatment Plant (JGMWTP), and 3 air conditioning
units at the South Tempe Water Treatment Plant (STWTP).
2009-10: replace 14 air
conditioning units and heat pumps at JGMWTP, STWTP and Kyrene Water Reclamation
Facility (KWRF).
2010-11: replace 1 heat pump
and other equipment at JGMWTP, STWTP & KWRF.
2011-12: replace 8 heat pumps
and air conditioning units at JGMWTP, STWTP & KWRF.
Johnny G. Martinez Water Treatment Plant Capital
Equipment Replacement
This project provides an
annual funding mechanism to address equipment failures at the Johnny G. Martinez
Water Treatment Plant which have not been specifically budgeted. Every year
there are unexpected failures of pumps, valves, and other operating equipment
due to fatigue, wear, structural failure and many other reasons. Efforts are
underway to develop comprehensive preventative maintenance programs and
procedures to help minimize equipment failures.
Johnny G. Martinez Water Treatment Plant Security Fence
- Lighting
This project consists of
replacing the existing chain link fence that runs along the western perimeter of
the Johnny G. Martinez Water Treatment Plant, and providing perimeter lighting
along the same path. The chain link fence currently in place is over 20 years
old and is in need of repair. The fence is the only barrier from public access
and is not considered to be a high security barrier. The fence will be replaced
with a higher level of security fence consisting of solid metal vertical and
horizontal materials. The proposed lighting would consist of free standing
poles with lighting fixtures which would illuminate the perimeter fence line.
Both the fence and lighting would add another layer of perimeter deterrence and
detection for the facility. This project is a continuation of security
improvements recommended by a vulnerability assessment completed for our
critical assets.
Johnny G. Martinez Water Treatment Plant Treatment
Upgrades
This project will install
additional water quality improvements to meet required water quality regulations
at the Johnny G. Martinez Water Treatment Plant. The project includes a
comprehensive site study, a Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) facility, and solids
handling improvements (plate settlers and sludge holding tank).
Ken McDonald Golf Course Recharge Project
This project will address the
first two phases of the Tempe Ken McDonald Golf Course Groundwater Recharge
Project. Phase 1 consists of deepening and equipping one existing recharge well,
to convert it to an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) injection well. The
injection well will provide reclaimed water aquifer storage and recovery. Phase
1 also includes the construction of discharge piping to recover stored reclaimed
water (groundwater credits) for delivery to the golf course lakes for irrigation
reuse. Phase 2 includes the drilling and equipping of two additional ASR
recharge wells and connection to the discharge piping for irrigation reuse.
Kyrene Reclaimed Water Transmission / Distribution Line
With the expansion of the
City's Kyrene Reclamation Facility and its producing a higher quality effluent
from the use of Membrane Technology, the City has excess reclaimed water to
reuse. One major use of this reclaimed water is to refill Tempe Town Lake from
evaporation and other losses. In order to accomplish this, a pipeline will be
constructed from the Kyrene Reclamation Facility to the Tempe Town Lake. The
pipeline will be 24-inch diameter and will be a total length of approximately 5
miles.
Kyrene Water Reclamation Facility - Capital Equipment
Replacement
This project provides an
annual funding mechanism to address equipment failures at the Kyrene Water
Reclamation Facility which have not been specifically budgeted. Every year there
are unexpected failures of pumps, valves, and other operating equipment due to
fatigue, wear, structural failure and many other reasons. Efforts are underway
to develop comprehensive preventative maintenance programs and procedures to
help minimize equipment failures.
Kyrene Water Reclamation Facility - Scum Automation
The scope of this project is
to automate the Kyrene Water Reclamation Facility scum gate / drain trough
system located at and across all eight membrane basin inlets. The scum gates and
piped channel allow cleaning and drainage of excess floatable solids (scum) that
accrue at the membrane basin inlets. Potential hazardous gases such as Hydrogen
Sulfide are reduced as well. The system now requires excessive operator hours
accessing the area, opening difficult valves and hatches, and running water hose
lines to allow physical access for spraying and hosing-out the scum troughs once
the gate and drain valves are opened properly. Automating the system at a
minimum will require an electrically-controlled gate, a new drain, and sprayer
valves with actuators that provide open / close position command and feedback
features. Local control panels and conduit and wiring would be added for each
valve and sprayer and would include valve status indicators and switches to
provide manual or automatic operation of each valve.
Kyrene Water Reclamation Facility - Shade Screen
In order to protect critical
equipment at the Kyrene Water Reclamation Facility, shade screening is
recommended around the Chemical Storage and Odor Control Scrubber areas. This
will protect the scrubber units, recirculation pumps, instrumentation, local
control panels, chemical tanks, chemical pumps, piping and associated
equipment. This project will include design and installation of the shade
screen.
NaOCl Cells and Brine Tank Installation
This project will add two
Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) generating cells to the current generating system,
and one 60 ton Brine tank to the current NaOCl salt storage system. The addition
of the two NaOCl generating cells will reduce system run time during high peak,
high demand production times, saving up to 120 hours per month in peak
electrical pricing. Adding the additional Brine Tank will help ensure a constant
brine supply for NaOCl generation.
New Production Well
This project provides funding
for one new potable water well, and city connections to four existing wells. The
Water Utilities Department Integrated Master Plan (2000), and Water Resources
Plan (2006) identified a shortage of well capacity in Tempe and recommend that
the City increase well capacity to meet emergency supply needs and supplemental
drought supply. These wells would provide an additional 16.5 million gallons per
day of production capacity to the City, and coupled with existing wells, meet
the needs of an emergency situation. The wells also double as storage capacity
and effectively reduce capital requirements for additional aboveground storage
and pumping. The new City of Tempe well is to be drilled and equipped in south
Tempe. Two of the four wells to be connected to the City's distribution system
will require renovation as part of the project.
Scottsdale Road Bio Filter Project
This project will construct a
Bio Filter for odor control related to sanitary sewer nuisance odors near the
intersection of Scottsdale Road and Gilbert Drive. Public complaints of sanitary
sewer odors in the vicinity have recently increased. The project includes site
location, and the design and construction of the Bio Filter odor control system.
Sedimentation Basins Grout Liner Replacement
This project will completely
replace the grout lining in the sedimentation basins at the South Tempe Water
Treatment Plant. The current grout in the sedimentation basins is delaminating
from the concrete underlayment. The grout serves the purpose of creating an
angle for the sludge created from water treatment to collect in the middle of
the circular basins for disposal. As the grout separates from the concrete it
creates obstacles for the collection racks to overcome and blocks pump impellors
and piping.
Sewer Line Replacement and Repair
The Water Utility Department
Integrated Master Plan (IMP) identifies most of the specific sewer lines that
need to be replaced to meet increasing wastewater flows. This project provides
a recurring funding source to replace sewer lines that break during normal
operation.
Sewer Replacement / Upsize - 5th Street, Price to Smith
This project will replace an
estimated 2,650 feet of existing 15 inch sanitary sewer due to insufficient
capacity. The new sewer diameter will be 18 inches. The project will alleviate
high flow conditions and facilitate Apache Boulevard redevelopment.
Sewer Replacement / Upsize - Scottsdale Road, Curry to
Gilbert
This project will replace an
estimated 1,500 feet of existing 12 inch sanitary sewer due to insufficient
capacity. The new sewer diameter will be 15 to 18 inches depending on the
location. The project will accommodate additional discharges from the Jonny G.
Martinez Water Treatment Facility, and facilitate new condominium development
between Weber and Curry.
Sewer Replacement / Upsize - Smith Road, Apache to
University
This project will replace an
estimated 2,670 feet of existing 12 to 15 inch sanitary sewer due to
insufficient capacity. The new sewer diameter will be 18 inches. The project
will alleviate high flow conditions and facilitate Apache Boulevard
redevelopment.
South Tempe Water Treatment Plant - Capital Equipment
Replacement
This project provides an
annual funding mechanism to address equipment failures at the South Tempe Water
Treatment Plant which have not been specifically budgeted. Every year there are
unexpected failures of pumps, valves, and other operating equipment due to
fatigue, wear, structural failure and many other reasons. Efforts are underway
to develop comprehensive preventative maintenance programs and procedures to
help minimize equipment failures.
South Tempe Water Treatment Plant - Security Fence /
Lighting
This project would replace the
existing chain link perimeter fence that borders the eastern and southern
perimeter along the South Tempe Water Treatment Plant. The project is a
continuation of security improvements recommended by the vulnerability
assessment completed as per federal requirements. The existing chain link fence
is not considered to be a high level security barrier and does not provide
consistent adequate height requirements for security. The fence is also aging
and in need of replacement. The replacement fence would be constructed with
solid metal vertical and horizontal materials which are consistent with higher
security standards. The perimeter fence line adjacent to Price Road would also
have a metal cable barrier system installed to prevent vehicular intrusion. The
lighting proposed for this site would be of free standing poles with fixtures
that would provide sufficient illumination for deterrence and detection of any
intruders.
South Tempe Water Treatment Plant - Water Quality
Improvement
This project includes
improvements and modifications to the existing South Tempe Water Treatment Plant
that will ensure the plant is in compliance with current water quality
regulations and goals. The project includes a Granular Activated Carbon facility
and other site improvements.
Southern Avenue Interceptor Rehabilitation - All phases
This project funds the phased
rehabilitation or the replacement of the Southern Avenue Interceptor (SAI), a
jointly owned regional sewer that runs through Tempe. An engineering condition
assessment study revealed severe corrosion of this unlined concrete sewer line,
and recommended a phased rehabilitation or replacement of the line to protect it
from eventual collapse. This multi-year project addresses all phases of
rehabilitation and replacement.
The
project will be jointly funded by both Tempe and the City of Mesa. The estimated
project costs shown here represent Tempe's portion of full line replacement.
Undergrounding of Water Aqueduct at the Johnny G.
Martinez Water Treatment Plant
The purpose of this project is
to replace the water aqueduct or flume that brings raw water from the Crosscut
Canal to the Johnny G. Martinez Water Treatment Plant. The aqueduct is part of
the original infrastructure of the plant built almost 45 years ago. The goal of
the project is to replace the aqueduct with an underground pipe.
Water Line Replacement and Repair
The Water Utility Department
Integrated Master Plan identifies most of the specific waterlines that need to
be replaced to meet increasing demands. This project provides a recurring
funding source to replace water lines that break during normal operation or that
have reached their useful life.
Water Line Upgrade / Replacement 22nd / 24th Street
(Hardy-Roosevelt)
This project will replace
approximately 2,520 feet of existing 6 inch cast iron water lines which were
installed in 1960. The lines are nearing the end of their design life and do not
meet current criteria for providing adequate water supply / fire flow in this
heavy industrial area. New fire hydrants, gate valves for additional control,
new onsite fire suppression connections, and service meters will be included.
Water Line Upgrade / Replacement Margo / Geneva
(Fairmont-Hardy)
This project will replace
approximately 2,450 feet of existing 6 inch asbestos cement water line installed
in 1980. Although the line has only reached its design half-life, it does not
meet the current criteria for providing adequate water supply / fire flow in
this heavy industrial area. New fire hydrants, gate valves for additional
control, onsite fire suppression connections, and service meters will be
included.
Water Line Upgrade / Replacement Orange / Lemon
This project will replace
approximately 3,200 feet of 6 inch water line originally installed in 1962. The
existing cast iron line has reached its design life, and does not meet current
criteria for providing adequate water supply / fire flow in this multifamily
area. New fire hydrants, gate valves for additional control, onsite fire
suppression connections, and services meters will be included.
Water Line Upgrade / Replacement Rural Road (Rio
Salado-Apache)
This project will install
approximately 5,000 feet of new 16 inch distribution main water line which will
replace the existing 14 inch cast iron pipe on Rural Road between University
Drive and Apache Boulevard. The existing 14 inch pipe was installed in 1968 and
its now non-standard size makes new connections and repairs more expensive and
of longer duration.
The
new distribution main will be tied to a larger 30 inch transmission main at Rio
Salado, University and Apache. The new line and connections will facilitate the
Arizona State University Tempe campus Masterplan, and new development in the Rio
Salado corridor. New fire hydrants, gate valves for control, onsite fire
suppression system connections, services meters, and connections to the
remainder of the distribution system will be included.
Well #13 Equipping
Well #13 is located south of
the Western Canal between Rural Road and McClintock Drive. This planned well
project was originally intended for use as a recovery well project to pump
storage credits to the Salt River Project (SRP) canal as a water exchange supply
source. The Fiscal Year 2008-09 project scope is being expanded to include a
direct connection to the Tempe municipal water distribution system as a back-up
drinking water supply well along with the connection to the SRP Western Canal.
Question
2. Street Improvements / Storm Drains $44,200,000
Asphalt Mill and Overlay
This project provides for
localized reconstruction and resurfacing of the arterial street system in the
City. The majority of the arterial roadways in the City have undergone a number
of preventative maintenance applications since originally constructed. The
amount and type of traffic is approaching or has exceeded the design limit of
some arterial streets. By overloading a roadway past its original design, rapid
deterioration of the street will result. By resurfacing and rehabilitating the
arterials, the strength and the durability of the roadway will greatly increase
while the cost of maintaining the road for the next 10 years will decrease.
Baseline Bridge Replacement Over Western Canal
This project will replace the
existing Baseline Bridge over the Western Canal. This bridge was inspected and
found to be at the limit of its capacity.
Bridge Maintenance
This project provides for
repair and maintenance of bridges located throughout the City. Federal law
mandates the inspection of all bridges in the country every two (2) years. The
Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) inspects Tempe's bridges and submits
a report to the City for required repairs and maintenance. The report
identifies specific repairs and maintenance required and quantifies the
estimated cost to make the repairs. The City updates these costs for
construction inflation and determines current costs. The scope of work includes
replacement of damaged joints, joint seals and diaphragms, cleaning debris out
of the joints to allow them to function properly, posting of vertical clearance
signs, repair of damaged structural members and guards, replacement of missing
bolts and nuts from railings, correction of settlement and subsidence at
abutments and miscellaneous other items. This is done to assure that the bridges
are safe and in good repair.
City Facilities Parking Lots
This project will provide for
the sealing, resurfacing and reconstruction of City parking lots in accordance
with the City's pavement management program.
Design & Install Fiber Optic Communications
This project provides for the
development of a communications strategic plan and installation of fiber optic
communications along various City roadway corridors. The fiber optic lines will
tie into Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) fiber optic infrastructure
as the communications media for command and control operations. The City will
be able to monitor and adjust traffic signal timing through centralized command
and control strategies designed to help both ADOT and other municipal agencies
relieve or minimize congestion.
Install Wireless Communications & CCTV Monitoring at 26
Locations
This project will install
wireless communications media for command and control operations and closed
circuit television monitoring (CCTV) at traffic signals. Utilizing this city
infrastructure will increase communications bandwidth at traffic signals and
eliminate the need for existing and new leased telephone service to the
intersections.
Installation of Pedestrian ITS Devices
The purpose of this project is
to convert existing or install new accessible pedestrian devices at traffic
signal controlled intersections. This project is a step toward complying with
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and provides an essential public
service for Tempe residents. Examples of these devices include, but are not
limited to, pedestrian crosswalk push buttons, pedestrian countdown signal
heads, audible pedestrian technologies and machine vision detections. These
devices provide audible, vibro-tactile and visual information for pedestrians
with limited or no hearing or sight. It improves personal safety as pedestrians
navigate Tempe streets.
Intersection Reconstruction
This project provides for the
reconstruction, resurfacing, and rehabilitation of intersections throughout the
City that have been determined to be unsafe for both pedestrian and vehicular
traffic. The project will explore additional pavement alternatives such as
portland cement concrete and other additives that will improve the structural
integrity of the intersections. The requested funding will address
approximately three intersections per year.
Minor Alley Improvements and Dust Control
This project will provide for
the improvement of dust control on minor streets and alleys throughout the City,
including paving unpaved streets or upgrading substandard minor streets to City
standards. The paving of these streets and dust control in the alleys will
assist the City in meeting its air quality standard requirements. Alleys that
have been improved provide an environment that allows the solid waste personnel
to complete their duties safely and quickly as well as encourage residents to
take ownership of their alley and increase neighborhood pride.
Minor Concrete Improvements
This project provides for
emergency repair and replacement and new construction of curbs, gutters, and
sidewalks throughout the City to improve the continuity of the infrastructure
and to improve accessibility and mobility for pedestrians in various areas.
Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation
This project provides for the
reconstruction, resurfacing, and/or rehabilitation of residential streets in
Tempe neighborhoods. The City's preventive maintenance efforts over the years
have preserved the streets and kept them in very good condition. However, a
growing number of residential streets are to the point that preventive
maintenance is no longer effective or appropriate. This program allows for the
annual rehabilitation of 6 miles of residential streets on average.
Neighborhood Transportation Management
This project will provide the
Transportation Division with resources to strengthen its ability to address
neighborhood traffic concerns, such as the installation of traffic calming
devices, including speed humps.
New Signals / Modular Upgrade
This project provides for the
installation of new traffic signals and the replacement of existing outdated
signals as warranted by traffic engineering studies.
Purchase and Install MMU Units in all Traffic Cabinets
This project will allow Tempe
to replace its aging malfunction management unit (MMU) inventory with upgraded
MMUs. The upgraded MMUs will provide the City’s signal technicians with
enhanced diagnostic tools to troubleshoot intersection malfunctions. These
enhanced capabilities will facilitate increased intersection reliability and
ultimately provide for safer traffic control operations.
Residential Street Surface Treatments
This project will provide the
ongoing preventative maintenance (slurry seal) of local / residential streets
throughout the City in accordance with the City's pavement management program.
Storm Drain Improvements
This project provides for the
construction of minor storm drain extensions, and equipment replacement and
upgrades, to relieve localized problems associated with various storm water
retention facilities.
Street Light Pole Structural Replacement
The project will fund the

rusted street light poles in the City's inventory which may increase because of
corrosion over the next ten years.
Street Light Upgrades / New Installation
This project provides for the
installation of new street lights at various locations as well as the upgrading
of street lights from mercury vapor luminaires to high pressure luminaires. A
typical year's program would include installation of 100 new arterial street
lights and 25 mid-block residential lights.
Street Microsurfacing
This project provides ongoing
preventive maintenance and resurfacing of major arterial and collector streets
throughout the City in accordance with the City's pavement management program.
Without routine maintenance, the arterial street network in the City will
decline at a rapid rate.
Street Reconstruction and Improvements
This project provides for the
reconstruction, resurfacing, and rehabilitation of isolated and/or small groups
of streets that have exceeded their design life or that were never part of the
City's street system. Streets and/or public rights-of-way in this category
include streets that were acquired through the annexation process throughout the
years, and streets/rights-of-way that have never been constructed to City
standards.
Utility Undergrounding
This project will provide for
the undergrounding of overhead utility lines. Tempe City Code requires the
undergrounding of all new and existing utility lines in conjunction with a
development/redevelopment project. However, in established residential areas,
the possibility of undergrounding being done by others (or developers) is
unlikely. Therefore, the City budgets for the undergrounding of these areas to
provide a more reliable power source as well as aesthetics.
Video Traffic Detection
This project will utilize
video detection and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) monitoring at arterial
traffic signals to obtain real-time, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week turning
movement count data. Utilizing the video detection equipment will also assist
in better managing arterial operations due to the video that is provided by the
video detection device. The City will be able to adjust traffic signal timing
through centralized command and control strategies designed to help relieve or
minimize congestion.
Question
3. Public Safety $32,010,000
Fire Station 2
This project will construct a
new four bay fire station on south Hardy Road where the existing Fire Station 2
and the Support Services Facility are currently located. The project will
entail the demolition of both the existing Fire Station 2 and the Support
Services Facility; therefore the commencement of this project is dependent on
prior completion of the New Support Services Facility project. Completion of
the new Fire Station 2 will resolve the station’s current lack of space and
accommodate an additional fire vehicle.
Laptop Replacement
This project provides for the
replacement of ruggedized laptop computers used by Patrol Officers and other
field personnel.
New Support Services Facility
This project will construct a
new Support Services Facility for the Fire Department. The existing facility is
