Hawkins water industry project procurement and contract expertise includes major water transmission pipeline projects and systems. For the San Antonio Water System, the firm drafted and negotiated the 30-year project agreement for the Vista Ridge Regional Supply P3 Project, an $800 million 45 mgd, 140 mile transmission pipeline, wellfield and pump station project built to secure San Antonio’s long term water resources future. Our team also has advised owners on successfully implemented water transmission pipeline projects in California, New Mexico and Nevada ranging in length from 7 to 20 miles for both municipal and investor-owned utilities sited in urban, suburban, agricultural and undeveloped terrain. We are familiar with source water, alignment and right-of-way, environmental review and permitting issues typically involved in water transmission pipeline project procurements.
