Selection Advisory Committee Recommendation of Award Southside Water Reclamation Plant Program Management - Project No. 5435.60
b
 
SUMMARY:
The Selection Advisory Committee met on August 8, 2012 to consider the following project:
Southside Water Reclamation Plant Program Management -
Project No. 5435.60.
 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Water Authority is seeking a qualified engineering consultant to assist with the management and reporting of the rehabilitation/renewal program, modeling and other quantitative analysis of alternatives for design and operations of the Southside Water Reclamation Plant, review of engineering consultant plans and technical specifications, and other services as authorized.  The services will be provided over a 5-year period consistent with the Water Authority's proposed plan.  The Program Manager will coordinate the design and construction efforts on the various SWRP plant improvements including project scheduling, cash flow, and other budget control measures.  Construction phase services including project management and inspection may be authorized.
 
FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated management cost is $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per year.  Funding will be provided through the Water Authority's Capital Implementation Program.  Services will be provided over a 5-year period consistent with the Water Authority's proposed plan.
 
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
The existing SDF creates workplace hazards for Water Authority employees, does not provide reliable service, requires large amounts of annual maintenance, is at the end of its useful life, and needs to be replaced with a new, modern facility.  The new SDF will provide a safer facility reducing risk of personal injury to Water Authority staff.  It will also provide a more reliable facility reducing the risk of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit violations.  The new SDF will also have improved odor control systems to reduce the risk of malodorous complaints from the residents living adjacent to the Southside Water Reclamation Plant.
 
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the scoring of proposals the Selection Advisory Committee recommends AECOM for this project.  I concur with this recommendation.  In accordance with the Selection Advisory Committee Ordinance, Section 6-1-1 et seq., the following in rank order is the consultant selection recommendation concerning the procurement of professional services for the above-referenced project:
 
      1.       AECOM
      2.      HDR
 
The Committee's score sheet compilation and Minutes of the Meeting are attached.  This recommendation is being forwarded for Board consideration and approval.
 
Approved:

The Chairman asked each Committee member to comment on the proposals, but to withhold giving their scores for each proposal until all discussions have ended.
 
John Stomp mentioned that both of the proposals were really well done, there was a clear difference in the technical approach and team members and his scores reflected that difference.  Larry Blair agreed and stated that the proposals were very professional and that it had been hard to discriminate between the proposals but did anyway.  Anthony Montoya agreed that the proposals were put together very well.  He mentioned that both firms had outstanding experience and had very interesting technical approaches.  Dave Price agreed with the previous comments.  Charles Leder had no other comments.
 
Each Committee member provided their scoring.  The Committee was advised of the scores and of the ranking according to these scores.
