Site work for a civil project in Columbus, Indiana. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The public infrastructure to be constructed may include water treatment plant improvements, raw water main construction, water distribution main replacement, elevated water tank construction and/or modifications, booster station construction, and similar infrastructure (all such infrastructure collectively referred to herein as the "Infrastructure" and the development and construction of the Infrastructure being referred to as the "Project"). The Infrastructure to be constructed will be finalized during a scoping period with the selected development team. The City has multiple facilities that potentially need improvements but have limited funds to do so. The ultimate scope, budget, and type of project(s) will be determined during the scoping period, at which time the City will determine the most feasible and important project(s) to approve for construction. The City, in its sole discretion, may select one team or multiple teams to enter into the scoping period and may "mix and match" responding teams with appropriate projects as determined during the scoping period. As part of the required scoping period deliverables, the selected team(s) must provide constructability analysis, budgets, schedules, and other necessary information for the City to determine a priority list of the potential Projects. The City anticipates entering into a public-private partnership agreement with an offeror pursuant to IC 5-23 to provide the work, labor, equipment, and materials to develop and construct the Project within the budgetary and the time limitations required by the City. The selected offeror will be required to obtain a payment bond in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the final cost of the Project and a performance bond in an amount not less than fifty percent (50%) of the final cost of the Project. All offerors will be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals; provided, however, offerors shall not contact any City official or employee during the period from the issuance of this RFPQ until the most qualified offeror is notified of selection by Committee. The final scope of the Project is to be determined in the scoping period described in the timeline above (the "Scoping Period"). The Scoping Period is anticipated to be a very intense and fast-paced process, with the goal of construction commencing Spring of 2026. The schedule will ultimately be determined during the Scoping Period, as it will be dependent upon the several milestones coordinated by the City. Accordingly, during the Scoping Period, the selected offeror must be readily available, willingly share information, and actively engage with the City in order to finalize the scope, schedule, and costs of the Project. Proposals shall include the fees that would be charged, if any, for participating in the Scoping Period, as further discussed below. All data, information and materials collected, assembled, prepared, and exchanged during the Scoping Period shall be solely owned by the City, and, by submitting a proposal, offerors release all rights in any such items to the City, and the City may use the information from the proposals and Scoping Period for its use and benefit.
