12-Inch Potable Water Distribution Line, Ocean Springs, MS

The Mobile District Corps of Engineers has a need for a construction contract to “design and construct” a 12-inch potable water distribution line (approximately 60,000 linear feet) in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The distribution line will be constructed in four sections: (1) Highway 90 to Hanshaw Road, (2) Hanshaw Road South (from Highway 90 to Old Spanish Trail), (3) Old Spanish Trail East to Fountainbleau Road South to Point Aux Chenes, and (4) Point Aux Chenes to Peabody Road South to Jean Lane. The Jackson County Utility Authority (JCUA) provides water and wastewater services to both wholesale and retail customers in Jackson County where Ocean Springs is located. Under its Gulf Region Water and Wastewater Plan, several projects have been completed to establish potable water infrastructure in many areas of the county, to support both the existing population and future growth due to population changes. This project seeks to expand the JCUA’s existing water supply infrastructure. The Jackson County Utility Authority has provided a conceptual design which will be made available “for information only”. The contractor shall be responsible for locating/verifying all utilities and making any necessary design considerations prior to design completion and construction. It is desired to leave utilities in place to the extent possible, with only minor realignments anticipated, if any.
