Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is for the City of Phoenix to supply water in north Phoenix in the event there are restrictions placed on Colorado River water delivered through the Central Arizona Project. The City of Phoenix treats Colorado River water at the Union Hills and Lake Pleasant Water Treatment Plants (WTPs), which supply water to north Phoenix. Construction of a new 66-inch pipeline from the 24th Street WTP to 32nd Street and Bell Road is intended to allow the delivery of Salt and Verde River water into north Phoenix. Hunter will be responsible for the 60 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) Remote Facilities BPS and Pressure Reducing Valve Station at Central Avenue and Deer Valley Road. McCarthy will be responsible for the 40 MGD BPS at 32nd Street and Bell Road.
The Contractors' 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. Each firm will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. Each firm will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. Each firm may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
The Contractors' services include, but are not limited to: constructing the selected final plans and specifications; soliciting of bids for major portions of the work; scheduling and managing site operations; acquisition and maintenance of required permits and licenses; and coordinating with various City of Phoenix departments, utility companies, and other agencies, as required.
These Agreements are essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations for the City.
Procurement Information
The selection was made using a qualifications-based selection process set forth in Section 34-604 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Scoring and selection were made in conjunction with the CMAR Preconstruction Services selection process.
Contract Term
The term of each agreement is three 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 will not exceed $33 million for Hunter and $27.5 million for McCarthy, for a total value of $60.5 million, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.
