• Propose a single recommended upgrade strategy for the pump station that addresses: o Firm capacity and future demand o Redundancy and downtime allowances for maintenance o Electrical and SCADA compatibility o Emergency overflow provisions or mitigation measures • Evaluate potential hydraulic benefits of downstream improvements (e.g., force main upgrades) as a secondary or complementary strategy to pump station improvements. • Conduct a Concept Validation Workshop with City staff within six weeks of Notice to Proceed to confirm direction prior to advancing design. • Prepare a 30% design submittal including layout drawings, major equipment selections, and a phasing plan. Include a Class 3 cost estimate with preliminary quantity takeoffs, unit pricing, allowances for known constraints, and clearly documented assumptions. • The cost estimate should reflect the level of design development and target an accuracy range of –10% to +20%, consistent with Class 3 standards. This submittal is intended to support the City’s FY 2026–27 capital planning and budget cycle. Design Development (90%) • Incorporate City comments from the preliminary design review and develop 90% drawings and technical specifications. • Refine the project cost estimate and evaluate staging, access, and constructability considerations. • Perform an internal QA/QC review and address constructability feedback. Final Design and Bid Documents (100%) • Finalize PS&E documents for bidding. • Submit stamped bid-ready documents by June 30, 2026. • Deliver final documents in both PDF and editable formats.
