The City of Edgewater is soliciting sealed bids from qualified contractors to provide construction services for the Silver Ridge Water Main Replacement.

This project is a critical infrastructure improvement designed to replace aging potable water infrastructure and improve system reliability, pressure, and redundancy within the Silver Ridge service area.

This project consists of a replacement of an existing 2-inch galvanized iron potable water main along Lee Drive and Denson Drive with a new 3-inch DR-11 PE Water Main at Silver Circle replacing the existing water main along Lee Drive via installation of 1,090 linear feet of 3-inch DR-11 PE open-cut water main and 150 linear feet of 3-inch horizontal directionally drilled DR-11 PE water main. The new main will connect to the existing 6-inch water main at Silver Circle and extend along Lee Drive. It will also tie into the existing 6-inch asbestos cement water main along Silver Circle, connecting to the proposed main along Lee Drive. Additionally, a loop in the water main is proposed by directional drilling approximately 180 linear feet of 8-inch DR-11 PE 4710 water main from Silver Circle to Glenwood drive connecting via two tapping sleeves and valves.

Project Background:

The City has identified deficiencies in the existing potable water distribution system within the Silver Ridge community, including undersized and aging 2-inch galvanized water mains.

The City intends to:

• Replace existing deteriorated infrastructure
• Improve fire protection capabilities
• Enhance system reliability through looped water distribution

Engineering design services were prepared by Kimley-Horn in accordance with the City’s continuing professional engineering services agreement.

The City's water distribution system on Lee Drive and Denson Drive pipe materials have reached the end of their useful life. This project focuses on 1) replacing 2-inch galvanized iron potable water lines, and 2) branch a new water main from the existing 6-inch asbestos cement water main on Silver Circle and extend a 6-inch HDPE water main west to Glenwood Drive to tie into the existing 6-inch PVC water main on Glenwood Drive to provide a loop to the Silver Ridge potable water system 3) replacement and relocation of one (1) fire hydrant as needed. This is a residential area with no commercial properties.
