Work could begin later this year on the $2 million building of more than 12,200 linear feet of waterline at the Roswell Air Center.
The officially named and long-planned Water Line Expansion Phase II will include tie-ins to existing waterlines of various sizes in the vicinity of the work.
The installation of new fire hydrants and twenty-one 14-inch butterfly water valves is also included in the project.
According to city documents, the chosen contractor will be required to protect “existing sidewalks, curbs, pavement, utilities, adjoining properties, and structures” for the duration of the work.
The project, which is expected to take 75 days to complete, will also require associated surface restoration work.
Earlier this spring, the City of Roswell announced that it was increasing residential and business water use bills as part of an effort to pay for an estimated $38 million in water infrastructure projects, replacing water lines that are in some cases more than a century old.
The City of Roswell will be accepting sealed bids on the air center project until July 9.
