• The construction phase includes completing construction tasks, installing new conduit, and providing temperature-controlled heat trace and insulation for all pressure piping.
• The contractor must also install magnetic flow meters, provide controls and integration with the existing SCADA system, and conduct testing, training, and commissioning.
• The project has a total available budget of $500,000 to $1,000,000 and a scheduled completion date of 122 days after contract award for review of 90% design and 305 days for construction, commissioning, and performance testing.
