Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to replace approximately 3.9 miles of 4-inch to 12-inch aging water mains, and 27 fire hydrants within an area bounded by Camelback Road from 26th Avenue to 40th streets, 36th Street from Campbell Avenue to Colter Street, and 40th Street from Hazelwood Street to Camelback Road.
TALIS'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. TALIS will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. TALIS will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. TALIS may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
TALIS's construction services include, but are not limited to: construction of the selected alignment design per final plans and specifications; bond and insure the construction; address all federal, state and local permitting requirements; arrange for procurement of materials and equipment; schedule and manage site operations; address owner issues; maintain a safe work site for all project participants; and provide quality controls.
This agreement is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical to operations for the City.
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 CMAR Preconstruction Services selection process.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement is 448 calendar days 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.
