Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is for the City of Phoenix to provide reliable water supplies 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 WTPs, which supply water to north Phoenix. Construction of a new 76 million gallon per day BPS and Pressure Reducing Valve will allow water to be moved from the 24th Street WTP to water infrastructure in north Phoenix to provide resiliency.
PCL’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. 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: 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.
This Agreement is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations for the City.
