San Antonio Water System

The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) is accepting proposals from qualified consultants to assist SAWS in identifying and prioritizing water pipeline replacements based on risk assessment, establish a proactive water pipeline condition and inspection assessment program and develop a system integration design document to support asset management. The selected consultant will develop a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for water pipeline replacement that is cost effective and justifiable to SAWS stakeholders. This program will help reduce water loss, reduce the risk of water pipeline failure due to potential structural deficiencies, and to avoid full scale pipeline replacement projects in favor of small, targeted repair or replacement projects.

The Water Main Assessment will consist of 3 major Components:

I. RISK ASSESSMENT AND PRIORITIZATION PROGRAM - Water Pipeline Risk Assessment and Prioritization Program.

II. INSPECTION AND CONDITION ASSESSMENT - Inspection and Condition Assessment Program for large diameter water pipelines larger than 16”

III. SYSTEM INTEGRATION DESIGN - System Integration Design to support Asset Planning
