TITLE
Advisory Selection Committee Recommendation for RFQ #07-19 LR "Professional
Engineering Services for Water Plants and Distribution System Improvements"
SUMMARY
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #07-19 LR was advertised from December 20, 2019
- January 31, 2020 for professional engineering services for water plants and
distribution system improvements. The RFQ outlined the services requested,
submittal requirements, and evaluation criteria (Attachment 1). Five (5) submittals
were received from the following firms:
• Besh,lnc.
• Carollo Engineers, Inc.
• Kimley-Horn
• McKim and Creed, Inc.
• Reiss Engineering, Inc.
A Selection Committee comprised of City and Veolia staff evaluated the submittals
based on the following criteria:
-Experience of the firm and proposed project team with taste and odor as well as
hydrogen sulfide issues.
- Ability to provide cost effective planning services and solutions.
- Ability to provide the necessary resources and effective project management to
meet project time requirements.
- Experience in providing a well-coordinated project with City Management,
Utility Operators, and others.
Based on the Selection Committee's review of the written RFQ responses, the
following three (3) firms were short-listed and selected for interviews with the
Selection Committee:
• Carollo Engineers, Inc.
• Kimley-Horn
• Reiss Engineering, Inc.
The short-listed firms were interviewed on February 28, 2020. Based on the
interviews and written PFQ responses, the Selection Committee is recommending
two (2) firms be awarded engineering continuing services agreements for water
plants and distribution system improvements:
• Carollo Engineers, Inc.
• Kimley-Horn
The recommended term of the agreement is three (3) years, with the option to
extend the term for an additional (3) years based on satisfactory performance. The
agreement will be the City's standard continuing services agreement prepared by
the City Attorney, subject to any updates and modifications as determined by the
City Attorney. Both firms will enter into the same agreement. Work will be
accomplished under the agreements on a "task basis," similar to the way in which
work has been assigned in the past to continuing services consultants. A written
task order will be prepared for each project assignment and submitted for City
Commission approval (as applicable).
No funding is required to execute the engineering services contracts with the
selected firms. Funding for the project assignments performed under these
agreements will follow the City's normal budgeting and approval process.
RECOMMENDATION
The City's Advisory Selection Committee for PFQ 07-19 LP recommends the City
Commission authorize City Manager and City Attorney to enter into engineering
continuing services agreements for Water Plants and Distribution System
Improvements with Carollo Engineers, Inc. and Kimley-Horn.

RFQ Released for Advertisement December 20, 2019
Mandatory Pre-Submittal Tour January 8, 2020

Oral Presentations TBD
II. SERVICES REQUESTED
The Consulting Professional Services Agreement will be for an initial term of five (5) years with the
option to extend by mutual agreement. However, the Consulting Professional Services Agreement shall
be subject to termination for convenience by the City. Services provided to the City by the successful
consultant will be on an individual task order basis. Task orders shall be assigned and approved at the
City's sole discretion after the Consulting Professional Services Agreement is approved and executed by
the parties. Generally, task orders shall be limited to a variety of professional and engineering services
required by the City related to the City's water utility plants and distribution system. By way of example,
such services may include, but are not limited to the following:
1) Water Treatment Plant No. 1—The water treatment plant located in the east part of the City and its
distribution system have been the source of taste and odor complaints by residents. A contributing
factor is the hydrogen sulfide in the wells. The City is in the process of chemical testing utilizing
hydrogen peroxide for treatment. In 2017, the City added an anionic ion exchange (IEX) system for
the removal of total organic carbon and bromide to limit the formation of total trihalomethanes
(TTHMs) after chlorination. This project would follow up on that initial study to determine the
treatment process and equipment needed to remove the hydrogen sulfide. It is anticipated the plant
will need new chemical feeds, additional treatment vessels, and other changes. There are also
hydraulic improvements that could be made between the two groundwater storage tanks to
improve the pumping out of the plant. The facility should have a vulnerability study performed and
safety improvements made. The engineering work would include the analysis, design of
improvements, bid services and construction observation. Because of the interest by the public, this
project needs to be done as quickly as practical. Recommendations and references by the engineer
to their experience in fast tracking projects are requested.
2) Water Wells at Water Treatment Plant No. 1—The four water wells at Water Treatment Plant No. 1
are in need of inspection and rehabilitation. The engineer will make recommendations on necessary
rehabilitation after the inspections and provide field oversight of the repairs. This effort will need to
be coordinated with the operations staff to assure adequate flow from WTP No. 1 or the other two
plants during that time period.
5
3) Water Treatment Plant No. 2—This is a pump and treat facility located in the northwest part of the
City. The work at that facility will be phased in after the changes at WTP No. 1 have been
successfully completed. The two wells at the plant will be inspected and rehabilitated based on the
findings of the inspection. A test of chemical treatment of the hydrogen sulfide will be undertaken
to provide potential options for treatment followed by design, biding services and construction
observation.
4) Water Treatment Plant No. 3—This is a pump and treat facility located in the southwest part of the
City. The work at that facility will be phased in after the changes at WTP No. 1 have been
successfully completed. The two wells at the plant will be inspected and rehabilitated based on the
findings of the inspection. A test of chemical treatment of the hydrogen sulfide will be undertaken
to provide potential options for treatment followed by design, biding services and construction
observation.
5) Water Quality Evaluation — The engineer will be expected to evaluate the current well and water
sampling information to assess the compliance with lead, PFAS, TTHM and other emerging
contaminants.
6) Water Distribution System Modeling and Analysis — The water distribution system has a current
hydraulic model that has indicated problems with dead-end lines. The City may require updates to
the model and construction of solutions to the dead-end lines.
7) Other Tasks—Other professional and engineering services assigned by the City related to the City's
water treatment plants and water distribution system.
