Summary of Specifications:
The proposed water storage reservoirs are estimated at 2 to 3 million gallons in capacity each. The City owns property for potential location on the north side of Tienken Road, just west of Adams, on the east side of John R Road between Bloomer Road and Avon Road, and on the east side of Adams Road, just south of Tienken Road. There are no known environmental issues on the three (3) sites. The successful firm will utilize the City’s existing WaterCAD model (Water GEMSV8 X M Edition), review the ARCADIS FPS study and work with City staff in the development and validation of the design and locations of the water storage facilities. The exact form of water storage has not been determined, although elevated storage tanks are not permitted and a reservoir will likely be desired. The final form of water storage, whether buried, partially buried or at grade reservoir, together with final storage configuration and materials will be determined by the selected consultant and the City. The successful engineering firm shall develop complete plans and specifications for the construction of one or more water storage reservoirs, and the related pumping facilities, including all required site work. This work may include off-site main extensions, if necessary. Alternative construction techniques and materials are open for presentation by the selected consultant. It is the City’s intent that the reservoirs and pumping facilities be connected and monitored with the City’s SCADA system. The selected consultant will be provided with additional information as it pertains to the City’s SCADA system. All engineering design services shall be coordinated with all components of the water system. Security measures for the proposed facilities shall be incorporated into the design. The objective of this Request for Proposals is to select a qualified engineering design firm to provide advisory, design, and bid services for the construction of water storage reservoir(s) and related pumping facilities. The successful engineering firm shall perform topographic and geotechnical investigations sufficient to properly design the required water storage reservoir in compliance with all codes and other requirements pertaining to the design and construction of such facilities. This project will consist of Phase I – Preliminary Design (Feasibility Study) and Phase II – Final Design, Bidding and Construction Engineering. Phase II work will commence only with written authorization of the City.
