Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to replace aging water mains in the area bounded by Camelback Road to Missouri Avenue and 12th Street to 16th Street. The program focus is on water mains in alleys and easements which historically have high break rates and are difficult to repair. Work typically includes installing new 2-inch to 12-inch water mains, plugging abandoned mains, and installing or relocating fire hydrants. Coordination with City staff and plumbing contractors regarding relocation of water services may be required.
TALIS’s initial services will include preparation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal for the Construction Services provided under the agreement and participating with the City in a process to establish a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the project. TALIS will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. TALIS will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. TALIS may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
TALIS’s services include, but are not limited to: installation of approximately 25,000 feet of new water main, 35 fire hydrants, and 324 service taps; abandonment of existing water mains including associated equipment such as valves and fire hydrants; disinfection and flushing of the pipeline prior to startup; traffic control; roadway restorations, public outreach assistance; arrange for procurement of materials and equipment; and coordinate with City staff, public relations personnel, plumbing contractors, utility companies and other agencies.
Procurement Information
The selection was made using a qualifications-based selection process set forth in section 34-603 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Scoring and selection were made in conjunction with the CMAR Preconstruction Services selection process.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement is 485 calendar days from issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.
Financial Impact
The agreement value for TALIS will not exceed $6,010,000, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department's Capital Improvement Program budget. The Budget and Research Department will separately review and approve funding availability prior to execution of any amendments. Payments may be made up to agreement limits for all rendered agreement services, which may extend past the agreement termination.
