Report
Summary
The City currently owns and operates approximately 108 BPS Facilities. In October 2017, the City completed a high-level BPS Assessment as part of the Asset Data Collection effort. The project included a detailed condition assessment review of all BPS, including summarizing and prioritizing the BPS Facilities for rehabilitation and/or replacement as part of Capital Improvement Program projects over the next several years.
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate or replace six BPS deemed critical for the operation of the water distribution system. The rehabilitation design and construction of these facilities includes, but is not limited to: mechanical, structural, civil, electrical and instrumentation and control upgrades, as well as potential increases in capacity.
Felix will begin in an agency support role for CMAR Preconstruction Services. Felix will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreement.
Felix's services include, but are not limited to: detailed cost estimating, planning, phasing, and scheduling. Felix will provide alternate system evaluation and constructability studies, and protect the City's sensitivity to quality, safety, and environmental factors. A Small Business Enterprise goal will be established for this project upon substantial completion of Preconstruction Services and prior to the start of construction.
