Site work for a water / sewer project in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The City of Port St Lucie undertook a project to create a Water Farm to add to and supplement existing and proposed water retention, storage and diversion projects designed to reduce destructive discharges into the C-23 basin to the St Lucie Estuary and Indian River Lagoon. For the initial phase of the project, the City designed Above Ground Impoundments (AGI) known as Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 and covering approximately 1950 acres. As of the first quarter of 2023, Areas 1, 2, 3 & 4 have been constructed and Areas 5 & 6 will soon be. City staff are in the process of filling, maintaining, and operating the completed areas as well as monitoring flows to assess the efficacy of the McCarty Ranch Water Quality Restoration farm. As part of Phase 2 of the McCarty Ranch Water Quality Restoration farm the City would like to design two additional AGIs north of the existing AGIs within the McCarty Ranch property with a volume target of 3.49 billion gallons per year from 538 acres. The City studied different geometric arrangements of AGIs and would like to start by issuing this RFQ to design a 234 acres AGI within the McCarty Ranch Preserve. The second AGI will be designed via a subsequent RFQ to be issued later. Intent The intent of this RFQ is to help the City continue the implementation of the McCarty Ranch Water Quality Restoration Project by designing the next AGI, Area 7A, within the McCarty Ranch Preserve property. This design will add 234 acres of storage at a depth adequate to reach the goal of 3.49 billion gallons per year (in combination with the next AGI, yet to be designed and not included in this RFQ). Although the City has studied various geometries for the proposed AGI, the chosen Engineer will perform their own due diligence to provide their professional opinion on how to address the City's needs. Engineering Services will include preliminary design, final detailed design, permitting, assistance with bidding and post design services, as well as help with administering the grants and/or funding sources associated with this project. The City of Port St. Lucie reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, to waive any and all informalities or irregularities, to negotiate with any qualified Proposers, and to accept or reject all or any part of any proposal as it may deem to be in the best interest of the citizens of the City. Thank you for doing business with the City of Port St. Lucie. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
