You are invited to submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for the Wastewater Treatment Facility Headworks (WWTF) Rehabilitation project to present your special expertise and to substantiate your capabilities to act as a Prime Contractor with a General-A license to rehabilitate the Headworks system at the City WWTF. The City is using a two-step procurement process for selecting a Prime Contractor. In Step 1, the City will evaluate all responsive SOQs and shortlist three (3) to five (5) Prime Contractors in accordance with the rules, guidelines, and procedures set forth in this RFQ. In Step 2, the short-listed Prime Contractors will receive an Invitation For Bids to award the contract to the responsive and responsible Prime Contractor offering the lowest price. 1.2. Background The City of Santa Cruz (City) operates and maintains a regional wastewater treatment and disposal facility originally built in 1928. Advanced Primary modifications were completed in 1988 and the Secondary Treatment Facility upgrade was completed in 1998. After identifying WWTF asset conditions and the priorities, the City contracted with design engineer, Brown & Caldwell, to design a rehabilitation project for the Headworks system. The Headworks Rehabilitation project consists of rehabilitating and/or replacing several structures, process equipment, electrical and instrumentation, and ventilation of the Headworks System at the WWTF. Questions and Clarification Submission Deadline: March 28, 2024, 5:00pm Description of Project The work for this project will be performed at the City Headworks System at the Santa Cruz Wastewater Treatment Facility, located at 110 California Street, Santa Cruz, California. The City headworks system begins at the headworks vault where the 54-inch diameter and 30-inch diameter gravity sewer lines from the east side of the City and the 42-inch diameter line from the west side of the City junction. Raw sewerage enter at the headworks vault are combined and conveyed to the influent box along with the septage flow. The influent box also receives flow from a 21-inch diameter plant return flow line and a 24- inch diameter storm drain. Combined flow is screened by the motorized bar screens and then pumped to the downstream treatment system by the influent pump station (IPS). The IPS is comprised of a sloped wet well and six horizontally mounted dry-pit centrifugal pumps where the headworks system ends. 2.3 Scope of Work The construction project includes rehabilitation of the WWTF's Headworks Infrastructure including, but not necessarily limited to the following items: 1. Set up, operate, and maintain a temporary bypass system to isolate structures and equipment for rehabilitation work. 2. Perform site investigation, surveying, and exploratory excavation to strategy bypass. 3. Rehabilitation of the headworks vault, headwork box, influent box and 60" influent piping connecting the headworks vault and influent box. These concrete structures have internal corrosion damage that requires cleaning, rebuilding, and a corrosion protection coating. 4. Rehabilitation of meter vault, screens wet well and channels, and the IPS wet well includes but is not limited to cleaning, rebuilding, and adding corrosion protection on the concrete surfaces. The screens wet well, channels, and IPS wet well are located at bottom level of the IPS. 5. Demolition and replacement of the plant influent gate located at the influent box and channel slide gates located at the bottom level of the IPS.
