Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to assist the City of Phoenix to provide reliable water supplies in north Phoenix in the event there are restrictions placed on Colorado River water delivered through the Central Arizona Project. This amendment is necessary for PCL Construction, Inc. (PCL) to provide additional services to centralize the power distribution to the 24th Street Water Treatment Plant to be consistent with the centralized power distribution systems at the Deer Valley, Union Hills, and Val Vista Water Treatment Plants. This amendment will provide additional funds and time to the agreement.
PCL's additional services include, but are not limited to: constructing a new 15kV Unified Electrical Building at the 24th Street Water Treatment Plant with new electrical switchgear inside the building and new power distribution ductbanks throughout the plant site, scheduling and managing site operations, addressing all federal, state and local permitting requirements, arranging for procurement of materials and equipment, and maintaining a safe work site for all project participants. PCL will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the Small Business Enterprise program requirements. PCL will be required to solicit bids from pre-qualified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. PCL may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
This Agreement is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations for the City.
