Gas line work also includes replacing gas service connections at residences including gas meters, steel piping and isolation valves. Water line work includes replacement of approximately 30,000 linear feet of water distribution lines ranging in size from 1-inch to 12-inch in diameter. The work also includes replacing service connections at residences including galvanized steel piping, hose bibs and isolation valves at residences. The existing gas and water pipe will be abandoned in place, unless the pipe conflicts with proposed construction work. Scheduling: Jesse Waltz, TDCJ Project Scheduler, stated Primavera P6 Scheduling software is required by TDCJ for this project. Recommend hiring a scheduler for this job instead of purchasing this software due to the cost, and also because it would not be possible to become a qualified user of this software before the 14 day deadline for the baseline submission.
