All prospective responders must register with the City of Takoma Park to submit a responsive Proposal and receive future RFP communications, including any Request for Information updates. The City of Takoma Park (herein described as "Owner" or the "City") desires to contract with an experienced and qualified Contractor for Houston Avenue Stormwater Treatment Project along Houston Avenue and Houston Court. The Project is described in this Request for Proposal document (herein referred to as "RFP"). The City of Takoma Park is located in the southern part of Montgomery County, MD and borders Washington, DC and Prince George's County, MD. The City, which is about 2.4 square miles in size, is primarily residential in character and has a population of 17,703. The City's population is diverse with a majority of residents being people of color: 36.06% Black or African American, 11.37% Hispanic or Latinx, 4.69% Asian, 43.85% White, and 4.03% identifying as something other. The City is obligated to provide stormwater management, per requirements of our NPDES permit, as we are an MS4 community. The City is required to manage stormwater to protect private property from flooding, as well as protect water quality and reduce flooding, erosion and water pollution caused by stormwater run-off. The Public Works Department is responsible for the oversight and management of the stormwater system for the City. The funding for the program is generated through a utility fee, levied on all property with impervious surface. In addition to revenue generated by the utility fee, also known as the Stormwater Fee, the City supplements funding with grants as they become available. The funding of this project will be through Community Development Block Grant Program (herein referred to as "CDBG") from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (herein referred to as "HUD"). Federal legislation and regulations have established national objectives that all CDBG funded activities must meet. For this purpose, the City has identified the project to meet the national objective of benefitting low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons in WARD 5 under the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 24, Part 570, Sections 570.200-570.207. The City has developed the design for the stormwater management project on Houston Avenue. The goal of the project is to improve water quality, through the installation of treatment facilities that filter the incoming run-off. Additionally, the project provides for the addition of 4 stormwater inlets to improve the capture of run-off currently flowing down the street, and placing it into the filter units and stormwater system to better manage the flow of stormwater to the local creek. The final design document includes Title Sheet and General Notes, Existing Condition Site Plan, Demolition Plan, Details and Longitudinal Section of the Treatment Facilities and Structure Details. The scope of work includes all construction work included in the Construction Documents. The Construction Documents include the construction drawings titled Proposed Houston Filterra Systems as prepared by Zemene Mathewos.
