The following list shows projects that are currently under construction.
The City of Prescott and their contractor, Cactus Asphalt, are set to begin the FY24 Pavement Preservation Project. The project includes various pavement maintenance and preservation operations along several roadways throughout the City of Prescott.
The City of Prescott, and their contractor, Cactus Asphalt, will be applying a micro seal treatment to roads in several locations throughout the city. Preparatory work typically includes crack seal and/or removal (milling) of old asphalt prior to application of the new micro seal surface. This project will improve driving conditions and extend the functional life of treated roads.
The City of Prescott, and their contractor, Cactus Asphalt will be working to maintain, preserve and improve pavement conditions with this multi-layer pavement preservation project. This project includes a variety of asphalt treatments that may include base repairs, removal and replacement of damaged sections of roads and the application of pavement preservation treatments in several locations throughout the city.
The Penn Avenue/Eastwood Drive Improvements Project generally consists of constructing roadway improvements on Penn Avenue from Gurley Street to Carleton Street; Eastwood Drive from Carleton Street to Nevada Drive; Nevada Drive up to Devereaux Drive; and all cul-de-sacs west of Eastwood. The project will include pavement reconstruction, water and sewer system upgrades, a new storm drain system in Eastwood Drive, Acker Park Trailhead improvements, a regional storm detention system, and improved open space access.
The project generally consists of installing a new traffic signal system at the intersection of Prescott Lakes Parkway and Sundog Ranch Road. The work will include necessary road widening on Sundog Ranch Road, modifications to the turn lanes on Prescott Lakes Parkway, ADA curb ramps, and other appurtenant improvements.
This project will install a new 12-inch watermain from Heather Heights to the Yavpe Connector. The new main is being built concurrently with a new roadway project the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe is constructing and is sufficient to provide water for future build out of the area.
The project generally consists of relocating the scales and fee booth configuration from it’s current location to Sundog Ranch Road to relieve the traffic congestion problems within the Transfer Station, and along Sundog Ranch Rd. The project includes reconstructing the severely distressed asphalt pavement on Sundog Ranch Rd. and widening the roadway to improve ingress and egress to and from the Solid Waste facility to the benefit of users, Transfer Station staff, and Fire and Police personnel accessing their training facility at the end of Sundog Ranch Rd.
The City has acquired the steel building components of a 125’ X 125’ (15,625sf) building. The building components are stored at the old wastewater treatment plant on Sundog Ranch Road, and at other City owned facilities. This project includes retrofitting the building components to suit the future needs of the Streets Division. The work includes design and construction of the building to include office spaces, restrooms, ready room, locker rooms, equipment bays, storage areas, conference room, records storage room, dormitory, fitness center, mezzanine, and so on within the building.
The City of Prescott Water Production Facility, located in the Town of Chino Valley, is the City’s primary source for water production. This project will replace the existing water booster facility in Chino Valley and will build the new intermediate pump station and tanks located near the Prescott Airport. This project will create a reduction in transmission pipeline pressure, improve production redundancy and provide additional storage capacity closer to Prescott.
City of Prescott Water Production Facility (Chino Valley):
The existing booster station is located in the Town of Chino Valley at the City of Prescott’s Water Production Facility, 251 N. State Route 89 (APN 306-23-077C). This project will consist of design and replacement of the City of Prescott water booster facility (buildings, boosters, electrical, controls). The facilities were originally built in the 1940’s and updates have been made to the facilities throughout the years to keep pace with the growing demand. The current facility is undersized to meet future demands and the existing equipment has reached the end of its service life. The facility replacement will ensure safe and reliable water supply to the City of Prescott service area. It is anticipated that the new booster station facility will have a firm pumping capacity of 14.0 MGD. By completing this project, the City will be able to provide additional reliability through higher efficiency and modernized equipment (buildings, electrical components, piping).
Intermediate Pump Station Facility:
The new intermediate pump station site is anticipated to be located about 1 mile north of Pioneer Parkway and 1 mile west of Willow Creek Road on currently undeveloped land; the site will be accessed from the east from Willow Creek Road. This project will provide the infrastructure to supply required redundancy to the existing water delivery system. This increases the overall reliability of the City’s water supply system by allowing the airport production wells to support the entire water system. Additionally, growth in north Prescott requires that a second pump station be constructed at the Intermediate Pump Station Facility that serves the surrounding pressure zone, Zone 110. The storage capacity required to meet fire demand and development growth needs have been determined by the City’s water model. The anticipated storage required for the intermediate pump station facility is 10 MG with the ability to expand to 15 MG. The intermediate pump station and the Zone 110 pump stations are anticipated to have a pumping capacity of 17.5 MGD and 8.4 MGD, respectively. Both pump station capacities will be evaluated further and confirmed during design.
Watson Lake Reservoir has been listed as impaired for nitrogen, phosphorus, and dissolved oxygen. This project will help to address these issues and will generally consist of stocking the lake with herbivorous fish (White Amur) which would be the most environmentally sound management technique for weed removal, construction of fish barriers, installation of an aeration system, and an on-going maintenance plan.
This project will upgrade an old inefficient sewer lift station by adding new wet wells and pumps to provide redundant pumping capabilities. The existing wet wells will be kept as an overflow containment area as well as an existing building on the site. New generator backup will be installed as well as an Odor Control Unit. Site work will include removal of the old treatment plant and equipment, installation of new fencing and maintenance road improvements.
The Zone 56 Tank and Piping Project generally consists of constructing a new partially buried 1.5 million gallon pre-stressed concrete tank to be located north of Highway 69, and west of York Motors. The tank will replace the existing 100,000 gallon welded steel tank located in Prescott Canyon Estates. An additional project element will include removing and replacing approximately 4,300 lineal feet of existing 8-inch CIP water line with a new 16-inch DIP water line.
