The 2004 steel cost escalation was a serious project cost issue, but PCL and Stanley Consultants worked with the City to procure the steel pipe before costs peaked, saving over $2,000,000. It required extensive property acquisition which involved contacting, negotiating, and developing agreements with over a dozen federal, state, local, and private entities. The project faced several challenges during its design and construction phase. PCL Civil Constructors (PCL) was chosen for the task, and worked with Stanley Consultants throughout the project. In addition, the City chose the CMAR contract delivery method, which involves a contractor during the design phase to provide reviews and oversee design cost estimates as the design progresses. When the schedule dictated that design commence, the City chose Stanley Consultants to continue with its project efforts. The City's proactive planning for the northern service areas determined a water line location over a year before actual design began. The water line planning and siting process started with master planning efforts by the City, leading to the hiring of Stanley Consultants in 2000 to assist in the route selection process. The City of Arizona's solution was to transport treated Central Arizona Project (CAP) surface water through eight miles of new 78-inch welded steel pipe within a corridor that will house a second 78-inch steel pipe and distribution lines to deliver water locally as development continues. This growth was stressing the city's supply of potable water service. Phoenix, Arizona, experienced vast growth in the early 2000s. Stanley Consultants teamed with PCL Civil Constructor on this Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) project to design and construct an 8-mile long, 78-inch steel pipe and distribution line that delivers potable water to the Northern Arizona area.
