a J TAIT & Associates, Inc. <br />On -Call Water Resources Engineering Services <br />Normandie Ave. Water Main Replacement Project <br />Golden State Water Company, Los Angeles, CA <br />TAIT & Associates, Inc. (TAIT) provided engineering design services fora <br />Design Build (DB) project awarded by Golden State Water Company <br />(GSWC). TAIT provided the survey and design services for the replacement <br />of 1,600lineal feet of 14-inch steel water main in Normandie Avenue <br />between Imperial Highway and 110th Street. The existing line, having <br />been installed in 1946, was in poor condition and was not providing <br />proper service to the GSWC customers. GSWC was looking for a <br />streamlined construction schedule and therefore went with a Design Build <br />Request for Proposal. All water mains within the intersection of Imperial <br />Highway were replaced so that they would not have to be subject to <br />emergency repairs in the near future. To facilitate the sped up schedule <br />requested and ensure minimal disruption, the potholes were performed <br />using ground penetrating radar (GPR) with a minimal number of actual <br />potholing. The final alignment of the new 12" water main was positioned <br />to fall in the shoulder of the roadway to minimize traffic disruption and <br />increase speed of construction. <br />Adams Hill Neighborhood Water Main <br />Replacement Project <br />Glendale Water & Power, Glendale, CA <br />TAIT & Associates, Inc. (TAIT) teamed with J. De Sigio Construction, Inc. <br />(JDC) on a Design Build (DB) project for Glendale Water & Power (GWP). <br />TAIT provided the survey and design services for the replacement of <br />10,620 lineal feet of 4 and 6-inch water main at the Adams Hill <br />neighborhood. The neighborhood is serviced by two pressure zones and <br />the existing water mains were 33 to 89 years old and were deteriorated <br />and could not meet current fire flow demands. <br />The streets that were involved with the project were: Dartmouth, <br />Wellesly, Scofield, Yale, Princeton, Berkley, Green, Loma Crest, Corona, <br />Garfield, Cherokee and Osceola. These residential streets were narrow, <br />steep, and windy. This created a challenge for both the design and <br />construction phase. On the design side, the narrow streets did not <br />provide for much separation from the existing sewer main that traversed <br />the narrow roadways. The DBE team (TAIT/JDC) worked with GWP to <br />determine the alignment that was a best fit for each roadway. TAIT then <br />prepared and processed the required Department of Public Health (DPH) <br />Waivers for final approval of the alignments. <br />Client: <br />Golden State Water Company <br />Reference: <br />Conde Ventura <br />(310) 436-6950 ext. 102 <br />conde.ventura @gswater.com <br />Construction Cost: <br />$470,000 <br />Project Dates <br />Design: 2013 <br />Construction: 2013 <br />Project Team: <br />PIC: Jacob Vandervis <br />PM: Todd Schmieder <br />PF: Samantha Wohlfarth <br />Client: <br />Glendale Water & Power <br />Reference: <br />Andy Cheung <br />(818)551-6909 <br />acheung@glendaleca.gov <br />Construction Cost: <br />$3.3 M <br />Project Dates: <br />Design: 2014 <br />Construction: 2014 <br />Project Team: <br />PIC: Jacob Vandervis <br />PM: Kimberly Johnson <br />DE: Samantha Wohlfarth <br />QA/QC:Todd Schmieder <br />'I TAIT <br />Page 19 <br />
