Background and Analysis:
The City of Olympia owns and operates a 36-inch diameter water transmission main that conveys water from it its primary source, the McAllister Wellfield, approximately
8.3 miles to the Fir Street Reservoirs. Given the critical nature of this infrastructure, the City wants to 1) improve the seismic resilience of the transmission main by installing seismic isolation and control valves (up to 12 locations are possible) and 2) analyze the condition of the transmission main by conducting a condition assessment.
To complete this work, consultant assistance to provide design engineering and construction management services is required.
