2.2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
JCW is seeking SOQs from qualified Design-Builders to initially provide pre-construction services and design services to complete the design based on HDR’s 2026 Preliminary Engineering Report. JCW and Owner’s Advisor will assist the Design-Builder to design and construct a new Brush Creek Pump Station. The Progressive Design Build will follow a two-phase format. In Phase 1, the Design-Builder will be responsible for working with JCW to reach an agreeable GMP anticipated to be finalized around 60% design. Multiple GMPs may be allowed assuming they are mutually agreeable, that schedule allows, and they benefit the project. Depending on the cost and the progress of the project, if the GMP is favorable then JCW will seek BOCC approval to amend the agreement and continue into Phase 2, the construction phase, with the Design-Builder. If a satisfactory GMP cannot be reached, JCW may elect to off-ramp the project and will need to negotiate design services to 100% design including bidding services in order to hard-bid the project.
The estimated total project cost, including engineering, easements, land acquisitions, and construction is between $12-$17 million, which includes escalation to midpoint of construction in 2029.
2.3. TENTATIVE PROJECT SCHEDULE
A preliminary engineering report has been completed for this project by the Owner’s Advisor. The following overall project milestones are provided below for reference and are intended to provide a general intent for project duration. The actual design and construction milestones will be determined in the design phase with the Design-Builderprior to the GMP.
