The feasibility study will assess the technical and economic viability of the proposed water transmission line . It will identify the preferred alignment , pipe materials , and construction methods , considering operational and site - specific constraints . The study will evaluate alternatives based on cost , reliability , constructability , and overall performance to determine the most effective solution . Based on this analysis , the study will provide actionable recommendations for implementation , including the preferred alternative , potential phasing , and strategies to mitigate risks or challenges . The Consultant shall perform , at a minimum , the following tasks as part of the feasibility study : 1 . Evaluate the existing transmission line and identify a preferred pipeline alignment , including analysis of reasonable alignment alternatives and constructability considerations . 2 . Evaluate feasible pipe materials and develop preliminary pipeline sizing criteria . 3 . Perform hydraulic modeling and analysis under existing and projected future demand conditions . 4 . Evaluate seismic hazards and provide design - level recommendations to improve system reliability and resilience . 5 . Assess alternative project delivery and procurement methods , including but not limited to Construction Manager / General Contractor ( CMGC ). 6 . Evaluate trenchless construction alternatives and methods , including strategies to maintain continuous service or provide temporary bypassing during construction . 7 . Develop pressure management strategies , including evaluation of pressure - reducing valve ( PRV ) locations and system impacts . 8 . Identify and coordinate stakeholder requirements , including agencies such as Millcreek City , South Salt Lake City , and the Utah Department of Transportation ( UDOT ). 9 . Develop a preliminary construction schedule and phasing plan that considers operational constraints . 10 . Identify existing and potential utility conflicts and coordination requirements . 11 . Evaluate potential community and traffic impacts and identify mitigation strategies . 12 . Prepare planning - level capital cost estimates for the evaluated alternatives and the recommended project .
