AI Contract Overview
The contract involves a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by Columbus City Utilities for engineering services related to the Tank 1 and 2 Improvements project. The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of raising two water tanks by 20 feet each to address hydraulic system constraints, with options including raising the tanks, pumping out the tanks, or constructing new tanks. The scope encompasses preliminary engineering studies, detailed design, and assistance with contractor procurement, potentially through Guaranteed Savings or Build Operate Transfer contracts. The project is scheduled to progress from SOQ submission by January 31, 2025, through selection and contract signing in early 2025, with construction anticipated to commence in December 2025. Funding will be secured via Bond Anticipation Notes, with construction financed through the Indiana State Revolving Fund Loan Program or private bonds. Respondents are required to submit a concise, electronically-only Statement of Qualifications limited to eight pages, highlighting their understanding of the project, relevant experience, and innovative approaches. Evaluation criteria emphasize project understanding (40 points), team qualifications and experience (30 points), and innovation and responsiveness (30 points). The selection process involves a committee review, with the goal of identifying a qualified engineering firm capable of delivering comprehensive design and procurement support to ensure the project's successful execution within the specified timeline and budget.

Project Description and Scope of Services: The project as included in CCU’s Master Plan includes raising Tanks 1 and 2 a total of 20 feet each. This project addresses the existing operating hydraulic grade line being higher than the tank overflow elevations. Once raised, the tanks will be able to float with the system. They are typically closed off because of higher system pressures. CCU is interested in reviewing the feasibility and cost of raising the tanks compared to pumping out of the tanks or constructing a new tank. The Scope of Services should include a preliminary engineering study phase comparing options described above, detailed design, and contractor procurement assistance. The contractor procurement is anticipated to be through a Guaranteed Savings Contract or Build Operate Transfer contract. Project Schedule: The following schedule is anticipated but subject to change. SOQ Due: January 31 Recommend Engineer Selection to Utility Service Board: February 20 Contracts Signed by Utility Service Board: March 20 Contractor Selection/Pricing: August-September 2025 Finish Rate Case and Bonding: October-November 2025 Construction Start: December 2025 The design services will be funded through a Bond Anticipation Note, and project construction will be funded through either the Indiana State Revolving Fund Loan Program or a private bond.
