Progressive Design Build - Brush Creek Pump Station Improvements Project (MTM1-C080)

Johnson County, Kansas, is seeking a Design-Builder for the Brush Creek Pump Station Improvements Project (Contract No. MTM1-C080) through a three-phase Progressive Design-Build procurement process. The project involves replacing a pump station that has reached the end of its useful life, with a scope that includes preconstruction and design services based on a March 2026 Preliminary Engineering Report. The new facility must be designed to handle current flows and future wet weather flows resulting from the decommissioning of the Peak Excess Flow Treatment Facility. The procurement begins with a Request for Qualifications to shortlist three to five firms, followed by a Request for Proposal including cost submissions, and concluding with interviews to select a single firm for contract negotiations. The anticipated project timeline begins with a Notice to Proceed in June 2027, with design and GMP development continuing through September 2028 and construction starting in January 2029, targeting final completion by December 2030. Baseline cost estimates for the pump station are approximately 5.4 million dollars, with additional allocations for mobilization and home office overhead. Qualified respondents must be legally registered in Kansas, demonstrate bonding capacity up to 20 million dollars, and meet strict insurance and safety requirements. Evaluation is based on the greatest value to the county, considering factors such as project experience, personnel depth, and the proposed approach to design and construction planning. All submissions must be filed electronically via the IonWave portal by December 9, 2026.
