Per the owner, as of April 18, 2024, they are still working through the process of getting a contract in place with a design firm. The owner states that a timeline for construction has not been determined. Closed solicitation has been included below for reference. .............. The Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency (AVEK or Agency) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to perform engineering and design services for the construction of a freestanding preengineered metal maintenance facility located at the Agencys Quartz Hill Water Treatment Plant. This maintenance facility is considered exempt from City of Palmdale approvals because it is an accessory to the Agencys Water Treatment Plant. The Agency has recently developed a maintenance department and has discovered a need to construct a maintenance facility to accommodate its many tasks being performed. The department currently consists of (1) maintenance supervisor, (1) well and pump technician, (3) maintenance technicians- 2 current and 1 future, (3) electrical technicians. The maintenance facility is being designed to accommodate future growth of the department. The selected engineer shall prepare plans and specifications suitable for the public bidding process. Two design submittals are required with an Opinion of Probable Construction Cost at each design submittal. Design meetings shall be held as necessary to progress plans and specs. Plans and specifications shall be inclusive of land development, electrical, plumbing, and interior furnishings (including equipment). Proposals shall include costs for development of bidding specifications, plans, and bid phase services (including up to two addenda during the bid period). It is anticipated that an amendment for Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) will be added to the design contract once a contractor has been awarded the construction contract. Fees for ESDC will be negotiated separately prior to this amendment. AVEK plans to award the design contract within 90 days of proposal deadline. Proposed fees must be valid for 90 days. Final design of the new facility shall be submitted to AVEK within 6 months of Notice to Proceed. Assume two levels of draft design (30% and 100%) with a two-week AVEK review/comment period on each. The building will be constructed as a pre-engineered (Butler type) building, constructed on a concrete slab and have a metal roof and siding. The building should be at least 20,000 square feet (100x200) with 18 ft sidewalls. The building will consist of an administrative area and a maintenance area. Question Deadline 12/02/2022 at 5:00 PM PT All questions, clarifications, or comments must be received in writing and be sent via email to Joe Roberts at jroberts@avek.org. All questions received will be responded to by written addenda distributed to all potential proposers. As of November 8, 2022, the due date and time has been confirmed with the owner.
