rfpstarleafpumpDESIGN SERVICES for THE CITY OF COPPELL The City is seeking proposals for the engineering evaluation and design of the new Starleaf Pump Station. This new water pump station will be located on City property on Starleaf Drive. We envision that the pump station will have a capacity of at least 25 MGD and 6 MG in ground storage. The water source for the pump station is a 54” City of Irving waterline that runs adjacent to the property. This waterline originates at the Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) Elm Fork Water Treatment Plant in Carrollton and ends at the City of Irving’s Hackberry Creek Pump Station. The City of Coppell intends to trade some of our water rights in a DWU 54” waterline to the City of Irving for rights in their 54” waterline that runs through this property. The pump station discharge will tie into the 24” waterline located in MacArthur Blvd.. The proposal should contain, but not be limited to, the following information: 1) A general overview of the project as you would approach the design. 2) The related experience of your firm and also the specific experience of personnel that will be assigned to the project. 3) A management plan, including identification of the project manager and key personnel assigned to the project. Background information on the people that will be working on the project should be included. 4) A list and status of all current activity or recently completed activity within the City of Coppell. The list should include all public or private work. If there are no recent projects, please include the last public or private project your firm has completed within Coppell regardless of when it was designed. If your firm has not performed any work within the City of Coppell, please provide information on other local projects. The Evaluation Criteria: All requests for proposals will be thoroughly evaluated by the City. A Contract will be awarded to the responsible firm whose proposal is determined to be the most advantageous to the City considering, but not limited to, the following factors: 1) Understanding of the project. 2) Ability to assign necessary personnel to complete the project in a timely manner. 3) Qualifications of personnel assigned to the project. 4) The firm's prior experience with projects of this type. 5) The City's past experience with the firm. General Scope of Work for the Design: A detailed scope of work will be established as part of the contract with the selected firms. The following list should be used as a guide in developing your project approach and will be the basis of the detailed scope: Obtain and utilize all existing data from the City. Perform all necessary field surveys to accomplish the required design including establishment of vertical and horizontal control. 3) Obtain necessary soil borings and determine soil conditions at specific locations along the proposed route utilizing that information to make recommendations on subsurface design. Prepare cost estimates for the project. Design and prepare construction drawings and specifications for the pump station. Ground storage reservoir (GSR) design and approach to construction. 7) Rate of flow controller (RFC) design and approach to construction. 8) Assist in the preconstruction bidding, review, and award of the construction contract. Provide requested technical assistance and site visits during the construction of the project. Upon completion of the project, provide a set of reproducible as-built drawings and CAD files. 11) Provide services and participate in securing/exchanging water rights with the City of Irving and Dallas Water Utilities. General Recommendations and Phasing of Work for the Design: Consultant selected will need to make recommendations based upon the City’s existing master plan. It is our intention that the new station should be sized to accommodate at least 25 MGD and have at least a 6 MG ground storage tank(s). Phase I – Evaluate existing master plan Make recommendations on storage capacity, pump station and ground storage layout, type/size of pumps, RFC layout, backup power overall operational schemes using both pump stations. Negotiate water rights with City of Irving and DWU for rights in 54” Irving water line. Phase II- Pump Station, GSR and RFC design SCADA system design incorporating both stations. Secure water rights with City of Irving and DWU. Phase III- Pump Station, RFC, and GSR construction. Phase IV- Pump Station Operation- Pump station must work in tandem with existing pump station. Consultant will need to make recommendations on system operations and provide any necessary training to operators.
