b
The Selection Advisory Committee met on July 29, 2015 to consider the following project:
Project: On-Call Engineering Services for Water and Wastewater Plant - Project No. 01135
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (Water Authority) is seeking multiple qualified engineering firms to provide a variety of engineering services that may include new, replacement or rehabilitation of existing water and wastewater plant facilities. The facilities include, but are not limited to, the San Juan-Chama Drinking Water Project, Southside Water Reclamation Plant, Ground Water Facilities, Lift and Vacuum Stations, and Odor Control facilities. The services may include civil, structural, electrical, instrumentation and controls, or other related engineering services as determined by the Water Authority. The engineering services requested may include studies, preliminary and final design, and construction related services. In each contract, the Water Authority will issue authorization to the Engineer for providing engineering services for the project. Each authorization will include a Basic Fee, Scope of Services, and Schedule of Deliverables to be provided by the Engineer. The Water Authority does not guarantee any number of projects to be awarded under this RFP.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated costs for studies, permitting, design and construction for Project No. 01135 are $3.0 to $6.0 million over the next four years. Funding will be provided through the Water Authority’s Capital Implementation Program.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
The Water Authority owns and operates over $5 billion worth of plant assets. These assets require continuous maintenance and renewal. As part of developing the CIP as documented in the Decade Plan, Water Authority staff has identified numerous renewal and improvement projects for which engineering services are required. Having a set of qualified engineering consultants available through on-call contracts will facilitate completing these projects. The alternative to using on-call contracts would be to advertise each CIP separately, which would add to the time to complete these projects.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Selection Advisory Committee unanimously agreed to select the top fourteen firms for this project. 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 Project 01135:
