Design/Build - Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility

The Town of Queen Creek, Arizona, is soliciting a Design/Build team for the development of a new wastewater treatment facility under solicitation number 27-011. The project is centered on managing municipal and industrial wastewater, with a specific focus on the first phase: the construction of an Advanced Treatment Facility (ATF) dedicated to industrial wastewater from the LG Energy Solution (LGES) manufacturing facility. The primary objective is to recycle wastewater to minimize the consumption of potable water and reduce reliance on groundwater. The facility is expected to be located within three miles of the LGES site, with a goal of being fully operational by January 1, 2032. The procurement process utilizes a point-based evaluation of Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) submittals, with a maximum of 1000 points. The Town may shortlist three to five respondents for interviews to determine the final ranking. Selected firms must demonstrate the ability to bond and insure, maintain a strong safety record, and provide comprehensive design, permitting, construction, startup, and commissioning services. The contract structure includes a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and a 10 percent retainage on construction costs until final acceptance. Key milestones include an early design contract award in 2027, full design by July 1, 2027, and full construction funding by July 1, 2028. All proposals must be submitted via the Town's e-Procurement portal by the December 8, 2026, deadline.
