Reference Number 0000335661 Expected that work may begin on January 1, 2024 Any questions or clarifications concerning this RFQ shall be submitted by email to Stefen Wynn, Town Administrator, at e-mail address: StefenW@TownofPaonia.com; and 'cc'd to: SamiraV@TownofPaonia.com. In the 2021 study conducted by RESPEC, recommendations included that the Town optimize spring water capture and its transmission to the treatment facilities. Since November 2022, Town staff and engineers have met weekly to identify steps needed to complete a properly functioning water utility. In that process, the Town was apprised of a need to investigate the hydrogeology of the spring complex and its sources so that an appropriate rehabilitation technique could be applied for spring redevelopment. To ensure the long-term viability of the source waters that the Town depends upon, a three-phased approach is proposed: Phase 1 Perform a hydrogeological study to better understand the characteristics of the aquifers that feed the spring systems, spatially and temporally for the Town of Paonia. Phase 2 Implementation of strategies to slow, spread, and sink water to support optimal diurnal flow demands and improve source water quality. Phase 3 Adaptive management to further enhance the second phase of the project and take corrective measures to ensure the goals of the project are met. The Town will not be bound or responsible for any explanations or interpretations other than those given in writing as set forth in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ). No oral interpretations will be made by the Town to any firm as to the requirements of this RFQ. The Town shall reserve the right to reject any or all proposals, and to waive any informalities or irregularities therein and request new proposals when required.
