Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing finished water pump station (FWPS) at the Deer Valley Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to provide resiliency for the water system and increase the plant's pumping capacity to supplement water in the northern portions of Phoenix's water service area. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department completed a study that identified infrastructure improvements to move water in the distribution system as needed in the event there are restrictions placed on Colorado River water delivered through the Central Arizona Project (CAP). The City of Phoenix treats CAP water at the Union Hills and Lake Pleasant WTPs, which supply water to north Phoenix. Following completion of the project, the new pump station at the Deer Valley WTP will be able to augment water supply in areas that have typically received water from the City's CAP plants. In order to replace the FWPS, it will be necessary to move the existing chemical storage and feed facilities at the FWPS. The first phase of the project will include relocation and demolition of the chemical facilities, and the second phase will include construction of the new FWPS.
PCL Construction, Inc’s (PCL) 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. PCL will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. PCL will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. PCL may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
PCL's services include but are not limited to: scheduling and managing site operations, arranging for procurement of materials and equipment, selecting subcontractors/suppliers for the project, providing quality controls, scheduling and managing site operations, coordinating with plant operations staff, and maintaining a safe work site for all project participants.
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 Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Preconstruction Services selection process.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement is five 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. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.
Financial Impact
The agreement value for PCL will not exceed $85 million, 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.
