Agua Fria Booster Station Phase II

The City of Peoria is soliciting proposals from experienced design consultants to provide comprehensive design and construction administration services for the Agua Fria Booster Station Phase II project. This facility, constructed in 2021, is a key component of the city's potable water infrastructure, equipped with multiple booster pumps and pressure-reducing valves designed to serve the northern and western water distribution zones. The project aims to expand the station’s capacity to meet future water demands, with detailed scope including project management, pre-design, detailed design, permitting, and oversight during construction. The work is scheduled to be funded in fiscal year 2026 for design and in fiscal years 2027/2028 for construction, with an estimated contract value ranging from approximately $3.5 million to $5.7 million based on a Class 3 cost estimate. Supporting documentation encompasses technical memoranda on surge evaluation and hydraulic modeling, previous design reports, detailed record drawings of related water infrastructure, and the City’s comprehensive Water Utility Master Plan, which emphasizes sustainable water resource planning and infrastructure investments. The solicitation emphasizes a best-value selection process, with evaluation criteria weighted heavily toward project understanding, experience, and team capability, followed by presentation and interview performance. The contract includes standard clauses covering confidentiality, insurance, intellectual property, subcontracting, and personnel, with specific requirements for maintaining licenses, insurance coverage, and confidentiality. Offerors must submit a concise proposal—limited to ten pages plus a cover letter—electronically via the Bonfire portal by December 10, 2025, with late submissions disallowed. The agreement stipulates that all deliverables become the property of the City, and performance will be subject to inspections aligned with applicable codes and standards, including IBC Chapter 17 and ASTM specifications. Overall, the project represents a significant infrastructure enhancement aligned with Peoria’s long-term water resource and system reliability goals.
