DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT The Project involves the replacement of the existing Lift Station 20 through construction, acquisition, renovation and equipping of a new tri-plex lift station at the existing Lift Station 20 site and a new force main to the Citys wastewater treatment plant. The lift station portion of the Project generally includes the following: Wet well approximately 35 deep Submersible pumps capable of handling approximately - 1,400 gpm average daily flow and 3,500 gpm peak flow at startup - 2,300 gpm average daily flow and 5,800 gpm peak flow at full buildout Prefabricated or site-built climate-controlled building for power, equipment, and valves Pump control equipment Communication equipment Power handling and automatic transfer equipment Backup generator Bypass pump connection Station valves and piping Flow metering Site work Existing lift station structure and equipment decommissioning The force main portion of the Project will generally include the following: New pressure pipe with the following approximate characteristics - 14,500 to 16,500 feet long - Single 24" or dual 16" diameter configuration - Installed via open cut, horizontal directional drilling, or micro tunneling methods Air & vacuum valve structures Trenchless crossings under Cicero Creek and White River Modification of an existing discharge structure at the wastewater treatment plant Existing force main decommissioning and abandonment The City currently contemplates that the Project will include the development, design, construction, procurement of fixtures, and equipment necessary for completion of the Project as referenced above and should additionally include the following: The wastewater facility must be continuously operational throughout construction. Developer to prepare Maintenance and Operations plans and submit for City approval prior to construction. Offerors should also submit proposals for the operation and management of the Project, under guidance from the City. Operation and management proposals should assume that the Project will be operated as a part of the City's wastewater utility which serves the City. Site development for the Project shall include any and all site development required for the development of the Project, including but not limited to on-site and off-site utilities necessary to service the Project and related surrounding infrastructure, reconfiguration of existing utilities, hardscape/landscape, road and traffic control improvements, and utility improvements to and from the property boundary to support the Project. This is an initial RFPQ and the City reserves the right to amend, alter, or expand the scope of the RFPQ with the issuance of addenda at any time. Such addenda shall be made available to all offerors at the time of revision. Clark Dietz, Inc. (Clark Dietz) served as the City's Engineer for the evaluation and conceptual design of the List Station 20 Replacement Project. As part of this Project, Clark Dietz will continue to serve as the design Engineer and be responsible for developing the final design to be constructed under contract with and under the purview of the Developer. All other professional services and consultants required to design, build, operate and maintain the Project, including, but not limited to civil, structural, and MEPT engineering, procurement, etc., shall be selected and engaged by the Offeror, with the consent of the City. IV. PROJECT BUDGET Offerors shall submit their proposals for funding the Project. The Project will be funded directly by the City through bonds and, if necessary, existing funds on hand. The Project budget is estimated to be at an amount not to exceed Thirteen Million Dollars ($13,000,000). Project budget adjustments may be considered if return on investment, revenue generation, economic impact, flexible use, related analysis, and alignment with partner priorities indicate that a budget adjustment would be warranted and in the long-term interests of the community. Such budget adjustments will be considered during the evaluation and scoping processes set forth in the full copy of the RFPQ. Offerors should include proposed financing structures and operating cost estimates with their offers and are encouraged to recommend financing structures. V. PROJECT GOALS The goals for the Project include but are not limited to: Design and install the referenced upgrades and improvements to the City's wastewater utility; Ensure the Project is designed, built and constructed in an expedited manner with a targeted goal of completion by December, 2026; Ensure first-class operation of the Project, with demonstration of the ability to ensure full continuous use of the wastewater facility throughout Project construction; Establish near-term and long-term operational schemes ofthe lift station including pump and impeller selection and recommended modifications as the influent flow rate increases; Establish force main sizing and operational schemes for present and future operating conditions that meets optimal velocity ranges; Odor control is a key design consideration for the Project. Ensure the lift station configuration and operational scheme minimize production and release of hydrogen sulfide; Identify least cost methods of installation for the force main(s) including open-cut and/or trenchless construction methods. Special consideration will be provided to Offerors who own or include teaming partners who can affordably access specialty equipment or processes to allow for minimizing excavation volume, increased efficiencies in force main installation, and trenchless force main installation; Provide construction expertise for cost efficiencies regarding the installation of the wet well including support of deep excavation and dewatering; Identify and utilize construction cost and time saving opportunities through the utilization of prefabricated components assembled onsite; Achieve facility operational savings and promote placemaking and sustainability goals through selection and commissioning of efficient building systems, innovative design elements, and forward-thinking facility utilization strategies; Achieve operational efficiency through efficient planning of space to accommodate various processes and activities and designing component layout and connections in a manner to optimize serviceability; Achieve best value in the construction, furnishing, operation, and maintenance of the facility, taking into account the long-term cost impacts of design, construction, and equipment; and Consider and incorporate sustainable design into the Project as a key attribute. This preference may include: (i) energy efficient design; (ii) consideration of renewable energy systems while demonstrating the ability to deliver lowest first cost approaches; and (iii) any other energy/environmental efficiency mechanism available that could be used to obtain funding from any source of federal funding or federal program.
