Title
Consider a resolution determining that “Competitive Sealed Proposal ” is the delivery method which provides the best value for the Reuse Water Pump Station Second Electric Utility Feed and Pump Addition Project.
Body
The City of Round Rock’s reuse water system, initially installed in 2007, has grown significantly from its initial installation. The reuse water system now serves many customers, from Old Settlers Park and Dell Diamond to the Texas State University Round Rock Campus, Austin Community College Round Rock, Vizcaya Homeowners Association, Legends Village Homeowners Association, Forest Creek Homeowners Association, and Kalahari. In response to additional growth, more diverse uses of reuse water, and increased reliance on the system, the Utilities and Environmental Services Department has identified areas of needed expansion and resiliency improvements. Those include a second electric feed, an additional transfer pump, and an additional high-service pump to increase the system's resiliency and distribution capacity.
This request is for the approval to use a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) method for contractor selection of this project. The project will require close coordination with wastewater treatment plant operations staff for critical tie-ins to existing reuse water infrastructure while keeping the existing treatment capacity in service and producing high-quality treated reuse water. The CSP method will allow the project team to evaluate contractors on qualifications and cost. This ensures that a contractor qualified to perform complex work at an operating treatment plant is selected to build the project. The CSP method will help to provide the best overall value to the City of Round Rock.
