Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to store Colorado River water in the local aquifer through direct injection through Well 314. The stored water can subsequently be pumped from the well and used to supplement potable water supplies in northern portions of Phoenix during periods of surface water shortages.
Felix's initial services will include preparation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price 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. Felix will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. Felix will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. Felix may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
Felix’s services include, but are not limited to: maintaining a safe work site for all project participants, providing quality control, scheduling and managing site operations, and constructing the infrastructure for the wells.
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 two years 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.
