Lift Station 1-9 Replacement

The intent of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is to identify the most qualified design-build teams with successful experience in the design, permitting and construction of lift stations. Competitive sealed bidding is not practical or fiscally advantageous for obtaining sanitary sewer lift station replacement design and construction services for a project with an expedited timeline due to bond requirements. More information than total base bid and a prospective bidder’s responsibility and responsiveness needs to be considered in order to obtain the best value and best vendor/product match for the JCSA and its customers. A design-build RFP with criteria assessing items such as vendor experience, proposed methodology, and cost should be used in making the award decision and is more advantageous for the JCSA because the process allows detailed review and consideration of more of the factors that will contribute to a successful job such as design expertise, construction ability and team structure that promotes a collaborative project approach and expedited project completion.  The design-build RFP process will allow the process to incorporate these criteria. The best value will be obtained from a contractor with proven experience who can develop a design, receive timely feedback from the Authority and promptly execute the construction. The design-build RFP process will benefit the JCSA because incorporating the design and build responsibilities with one vendor will promote efficient owner/contractor relations to deliver a quality product in a shorter time period than the traditional design/bid/build process.Design-build teams identified as most qualified (shortlisted) will be issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) at the conclusion of the RFQ selection process and requested to provide a fixed price cost proposal and project schedule. The fixed price cost proposal and schedule will be utilized to determine the design-build team that provides the best value for James City Service Authority (JCSA).
