Report
Summary
During Phase I of the Water System Power Redundancy project, standby power systems will be implemented at facilities including the Cave Creek Corridor Booster Pump Stations (6A-B1, 7A-B1, and 8A-B1), the Union Hills Water Treatment Plant (WTP) pressure zone 5E, and the Deer Valley WTP pressure zones 1, 2A, and 3D finished water booster pumps. This project will also develop a roadmap for implementing power redundancy in future phases to maintain potable water production at the Union Hills, Deer Valley, 24th Street, and Val Vista WTPs. Providing power redundancy at these facilities will improve the City's ability to continue potable water deliveries to customers during potential local or regional utility outages.
Ludvik Electric Company will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal and will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project, participating with the City in a process to set a local and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the project, and implementing the SBE process. Ludvik Electric Company will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors to perform work under the City's subcontractor selection process. Ludvik Electric Company may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
