The PBA water system includes facilities for producing, storing and conveying potable water for sanitation and fire support. All components of the system lie within the installation boundaries and rely on Army protective services for site and system security. The system is operated by the Directorate of Public Works. The PBA water treatment plant operates at approximately 0.7 MGD and is rated at 1.4 MGD. The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is a settling basin-filter plant operation. The plant uses alum and polymer to promote sedimentation. The WTP incorporates a 30-foot aerator to promote reduction of iron. The system uses lime for pH control and injects chlorine gas for disinfection. The WTP uses 8 sand pressure filters for filtering water. There is a meter vault on site. Raw water enters a common header just prior to metering. Isolation of any raw-water pump, and bypass of any operation, either at the meter vault, or at a separate valve vault, is possible. Bypass from the meter vault directly to the sedimentation basin is also possible. There is a 30 foot, 1,200-gpm aerator that provides rapid mix for alum, the polymer, and chlorine gas. Alum, lime, and polymer are housed near the sedimentation basin, and the system uses flow paced metering equipment, within the housing, to supply injectors at the aerator, or at the sedimentation basin. There are 20 each 150-lb, chlorine gas cylinders at the WTP, at any one time. The cylinders, vacuum regulator, and metering equipment are housed in a secured chlorine building. An underground line supplies gaseous chlorine to injectors, at the bottom of the aerator. There is a 47-foot diameter, 12 foot-deep, 168,000 gallon clear well with exposed top, located adjacent to the sedimentation basin. There is a low-level auto-shutoff of service pumps from the clear well, but no low-level alarm at the clear well. There is a 47 foot diameter, 15-foot-deep, 218,000 gallon sedimentation basin with exposed top. Influent enters the center and effluent exits over a perimeter overflow weir. There is a WTP pump and filter building. The building houses two dedicated service pumps, two dedicated filter-backwash pumps, a diesel emergency service pump, and eight pressure filters. There are two 1,200-gpm service pumps. Two 700-gpm pumps remain from the original system, and are now dedicated for filter backwash. The diesel power service pump is rated to 1,200-gpm, and is exercised regularly. Any of the pump-station pumps can be used for service or backwash capabilities. The eight pressure filters, on a common header, are backwashed twice daily. There are three circular chart recorders, one each for the pumping rate, the clear well level, and the south (#3) elevated tank level. There is a wireless digital recorder to monitor the north ("C") elevated tank level. There is a pad-mounted dedicated diesel-powered generator located 100 feet north of the WTP. The generator is exercised regularly, and has been used to run the entire WTP and raw-water wells on numerous occasions, including a 5-day ice storm. The WTP and raw-water wells are located within the production area and are surrounded by an interior guarded perimeter with chain link fence. In the WTP yard, below ground, is an abandoned 7MG reservoir. 8.0 Distribution Systems The looped Production and Depot systems have separate yet similar distribution systems and pressure planes. Each pressure plane (north and south), has three 200,000 gallons elevated tanks. The total elevated tank storage for north and south is 1.2 MG. In the Production area the 3 tanks are on a 16-inch-diameter common header that also connects the WTP. In the Depot area, the northern tank ("C") is connected to a booster pump via a 16-inch line. The booster pump station consists of two 1,060 gpm pumps. Each distribution system has numerous 8- and 10-inch-diamter loops that supply various subareas. The loops and headers have multiple isolation valves, and fire hydrants. In the Depot area, these smaller diameter loops, also supply two of elevated tanks ("A" and "B"). There is a single un-looped 12-inch-daimeter line to the Demilitarization area. The two areas are protected by a backflow preventer. There is a single un-looped, 8-inch-diameter line to the Landfill area. 9.0 Deliverables Period of Performance. Contractor shall begin work as described in the PWS within 5 days of NTP. All meetings and progress reports are due in a timely fashion and will begin no later than 30 days of NTP. The entire project shall be completed with 180 calendar days from NTP.
