The project will renovate and expand the existing police, fire and 911 facilities at the Thomas Price Service Center. In addition to the physical construction, the existing radio system will be transitioning to the regional Pima County Wireless Integrated Network (PCWIN) radio system. The new PCWIN radio system will be replacing a 32 year old radio system that has exceeded its service life. This project will incorporate the use of Pima County Bond money and City of Tucson money. The physical construction and expansion will allow dispatchers to operate with the latest dispatch design and equipment as well as providing the addition space for improved operations and training. The overall project completion will provide for radio interoperability with other emergency services in the region.

The Cushing Street Bridge has been named the "Luis G. Gutierrez Bridge at Cushing Street". The Cushing Street Bridge construction and roadway improvement project is a vital link in the 3.9-mile Modern Streetcar project. The 320-foot-long ‘signature’ bridge will provide a shaded east-west connection for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders. When complete, the project improvements will include a new roadway and bridge, asphalt concrete pavement, curb, sidewalk, ramps, driveways, utility relocations and improvements, floodwalls, street lighting and other improvements along Cushing Street, between Avenida Del Convento and the eastbound I-10 frontage road.

This project is part of the RTA Houghton Corridor Improvements that will expand travel capacity and safety in this key north-south regional corridor to accommodate the 2030 traffic demands. Specifically, this project will replace four miles of the existing two-lane roadway with a new six-lane divided desert parkway. The roadway work will include improved intersections with dual left turn lanes, exclusive right turn lanes and upgraded traffic signals; rubberized asphalt for noise mitigation; native landscaping with water harvesting; improved multi-modal access by adding bike lanes on and off the roadway, improving ADA-accessibility and adding sidewalks and multi-use paths, and include bus pullouts and transit options; upgraded drainage and add all-weather crossings, landscaping that enhances the scenic corridor and utilizes water harvesting and incorporates native plants; implement Wildlife-sensitive design features; and bring in Public Art.

As directed by the Mayor & Council, Tucson Water is constructing a 1,4-dioxane treatment system. This system will allow Tucson Water to serve water from the TARP superfund treatment facility that meets the U.S. EPA Drinking Water Health Advisory level for 1,4-dioxane without having to blend the water with other groundwater sources. This treatment facility will meet the drinking water regulations and will protect Water customer health. There are two Guaranteed Maximum Price contracts (GMP). GMP1 is $4.3M, which includes chemical feed equipment and GMP2 is $10.3M and includes site work, building, piping, etc.

This project is the construction of nitrogen (ammonia) feed system for the reclaimed water system. The new Pima County Waste Treatment Plant provides secondary effluent nearly void of nitrogen (2 ppm). The old Roger Road Treatment Plant provided secondary effluent with high nitrogen levels (around 29 ppm). The Roger Road Treatment Plant is in the process of being closed. Chloramination (water treatment) has been ongoing at the Tucson Water Reclaimed Plant from the start. With any level of nitrogen chloramination is the best means of water treatment (consultant study) to insure safe water for irrigation and other uses. The nitrogen level of 2 ppm is too low for proper chloramination so a nitrogen source (ammonia) must be installed. This project will provide the equipment, building, piping, and controls to provide that ammonia.

Construct an 8.5 million gallon potable water concrete lined reservoir along with a booster station having the ability to pump an additional 27.9 million gallons of water per day from the Southern Avra Valley Storage and Recovery Project (SAVSARP). This reservoir and booster station is a required component of Tucson Water’s SAVSARP. The construction of this reservoir and booster station is required in order for the citizens of the City of Tucson to realize the benefit of the recharge effort in Southern Avra Valley. Utilization of SAVSARP increases the City’s use of a renewable water supply and decreases the City’s dependence on groundwater.
