Question Deadline 12/15/2023 The City of Truth or Consequences' CDBG Water Meter Replacement project will consist of the design and construction related to the replacement of aged and deteriorated water meter assemblies. The current manual read water meters will be replaced with new advanced metering infrastructure radio read meters. The meter replacements will take place throughout the municipal water system service area which includes the City of TorC and Village of Williamsburg. The condition and location of the meter assemblies varies widely throughout the service area and therefore the location of the assemblies and surface improvements to be replaced will vary as well. In locations where the existing meter assemblies have failed and are located within the sidewalks, the improvements will also include the replacement of the meter setters, meter cans, lids, plus the removal and replacement of the sidewalk section as needed to complete the installation. The full scope of the project will include the replacement of approximately 981 meters, 98 meter assemblies and 88 square yards of sidewalk removal & replacements. The general scope of work is the same for the full and phased projects, with the only difference for the phased approach being a reduction in quantity. The state of the inflated construction costs will be the deciding factor for the overall completion of the intended project. The best-case scenario will involve reasonable bids for the completion of the work that will allow the City to replace all 981 water meters and accompanying appurtenances. The worst-case scenario will involve inflated bids, reducing the number of meters that can be replaced and therefore require a ranking and/or prioritization of replacing those meters that are in the worst condition first. The City is not looking for quotes for meters or installation at this time. This RFP is for design professional services.
