As part of the Cypress Lake Water Wheeling Infrastructure Project, Tohopekaliga Water Authority (Toho) invited interested engineering consulting firms with extensive experience in large transmission pipeline design, permitting, bidding, and construction administration and other related engineering to submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) for the Cypress Lake Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to Southport Road Water Transmission Main Project. This water transmission main project will convey or transmit water from the Cypress Lake Alternative Water Supply Treatment Facility to the Water Cooperative of Central Florida project participants and support Toho’s water demand. The Cypress Lake WTP to Southport Road Water Transmission Main Project (Segment CL2-P-01A) consists of approximately 41,500 linear feet of a new 36-inch potable water transmission main from Cypress Lake WTP along utility easements, future Southport Connector, Southport Canal and connecting to a new 36-inch potable water transmission main project (Segment CL2-P-02A) at Southport Rd. The scope of this project includes project management, coordination, route analysis, preliminary design, environmental services (wetland delineation, groundwater contamination, may be applicable), evaluation of corrosion control system, permitting, land acquisition support, public relation support, geotechnical investigations, structural, surveying and subsurface utility engineering (SUE) services, final design, bid support and engineering services during construction. Consultant shall coordinate with the design consultants of the adjacent transmission main of the 36-inch from Southport Road to Pleasant Hill Road/Poinciana Boulevard Intersection Project (Segment CL2-P-02A) and the Cypress Lake WTP Project to coordinate the tie-in locations. Respondents to this RFQu must demonstrate experience in traditional open cut installation, aerial pipeline crossing, subaqueous and trenchless technologies for large diameter pipe (minimum size of 24-inch with larger diameters preferred); their experience with utility conflict resolution, a conceptual design of water transmission main in parallel or redundancy for a future phase of the Cypress Lake Water Wheeling Infrastructure Project in the proximity of project area, and the ability to fast track the project. Respondents must demonstrate an established reputation and documented successful experience in providing the above-referenced Work. The Successful Respondent is expected to have appropriately experienced staff and resources to provide comprehensive, reliable services regarding the Project and will be required to demonstrate this via the submittal documents and/or associated interviews, if deemed necessary.
