Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to increase the water to be moved from the Deer Valley Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to water infrastructure in north Phoenix to supplement and provide resiliency for the water system. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department completed a study to determine how to supplement the water system 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. If there are restrictions, both WTPs would be impacted and there would be a shortfall in the areas serviced by the two WTPs. Improving the pump stations at Deer Valley WTP will help to supplement water to north Phoenix in that event.
PCL Construction, Inc. (PCL) will begin in an agency support role for Construction Manager at Risk Preconstruction Services. PCL will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price agreement.
PCL's services include, but are not limited to, being responsible for construction means and methods, and will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors to perform the work, provide detailed cost estimation and knowledge of marketplace conditions, provide construction phasing and scheduling that will minimize interruption to City operations, as well as provide alternate systems evaluation and constructability studies. A Small Business Enterprise goal will be established for this project upon substantial completion of Preconstruction Services and prior to the start of construction.
