NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND QUALIFICATIONS
CITY OF COLUMBUS, INDIANA 2nd Street Water Main Build – Operate - Transfer
In accordance with IC 5-23-5, the City of Columbus (the "City") is issuing this Request for Proposals and Qualifications (the "RFPQ") seeking proposals and statements of qualifications from qualified offerors for the development and construction of public infrastructure in support of planned development in the City (the "Development Area").
The public infrastructure to be developed and constructed may include construction of new roadways and sanitary sewer, 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 developed will be finalized during a scoping period with the selected development team.
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.
Given the complexity and fast-paced nature of the Project, including the need for considerable coordination among those working on each phase of the Project and on the Economic Development Projects, the City highly encourages a team approach to submitting proposals in response to this RFPQ.
Notice is hereby given that Sealed Proposals for Project will be received by the City, until February 25th, 2025. Proposals will only be accepted through the electronic bidding system, Ion Wave Technologies. All responses are due prior to the published closing date and time. No mailed, emailed, faxed, hand delivered or late responses will be accepted. To register with Ion Wave, view current City of Columbus bid events, submit a proposal, or view plan holders, please visit https://columbusin.ionwave.net/ The Proposals will be publicly unsealed at the meeting of the Board of Public Works and Safety in the Council Chambers of Columbus City Hall and then taken under advisement.
Copies of the RFPQ Documents may be examined without charge at https://columbusin.ionwave.net/.
The City of Columbus exclusively uses Ion Wave for the notification and dissemination of all solicitations. The receipt of solicitations through any other means may result in the receipt of incomplete specifications and/or addendums, which could ultimately render the bid/proposal non-compliant. The City of Columbus accepts no responsibility for the receipt and/or notification of solicitations through any other means.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the context of this RFPQ, the term "develop" as defined by IC 5-23-2-5.5 shall mean to install and construct the Project Infrastructure, and the term "construct" as defined by IC 5-23-2-4 shall mean the process of building and assembling the Project Infrastructure.
For special accommodations needed by physically challenged individuals planning to attend the public unsealing please call +1 (555) 000-0000 or TDD +1 (555) 000-0000 at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the meeting.
