SOUTH METRO WISE AUTHORITY (AUTHORITY)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency (WISE) Design/Build Project (WISE DB Project or DB Project or Project) for the South Metro WISE Authority (Authority or WISE Authority). This RFP is being issued to the short-listed Proposers based on the outcome of an evaluation of Statements of Qualifications (“SOQs”), submitted in response to a Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) issued by the Authority.

The short-listed Proposers are, in alphabetical order: Garney Water Partnership (joint venture of Garney Companies, Inc. and Burns & McDonnell

Engineering Co., Inc.) Western Summit Constructors, Inc. (with Tetra Tech, Inc. and McDade-Woodcock, Inc.)

This RFP initiates the second phase of a two-phase procurement process for the DB Project that is being conducted by the Authority. The first phase of the procurement process consisted of the issuance of the RFQ, receipt and evaluation of SOQs, and selection of short-listed Proposers.

The Authority’s intent in developing this RFP is to encourage qualified firms / teams to provide the best value solution for delivering the DB Project within the confines of the Authority’s requirements as described in this document. The Authority expects to enter into a contract (DB Contract or Contract) with a single contracting entity (Design/Builder) for the DB Project.

1.2 RFP Organization This RFP is organized into three volumes: Volume 1 – RFP Front End provides background information; describes the general Work for the

DB Project; describes the Proposal evaluation process, criteria, and their relative weights; and defines Proposal submittal requirements. The RFP Front End is organized into four sections as follows:

o Section 1, Introduction provides a broad overview of the future WISE System, background on the WISE Authority, and other general information.

o Section 2, DB Work describes the Authority’s objectives for the DB Project, identifies the facilities included within the scope of the DB Project and their location, describes the selected Design/Builder’s responsibilities, and generally describes information that is available to short-listed Proposers as well as the Authority’s preferred risk

allocation. This section also summarizes the major schedule milestones, the Proposed Fixed DB Price and the DB Contract Price.

o Section 3, Procurement Approach and Schedule describes the remaining process leading to execution of a DB Contract between the selected Design/Builder and the Authority, including RFP, proposal evaluation and Design/Builder selection, and contract negotiations. This section also identifies Authority rights and limitations associated with the procurement process.

o Section 4, Proposal Submittal Requirements describes the specific submittal requirements for Proposals, including the date, time, and location; submittal protocols; number of copies required; and the required content and organization of the Proposals.

Volume 2 – Design/Build Contract Documents, including the DB Agreement, General Conditions, Supplementary Conditions, and Exhibits (except the preliminary design drawings for the Basis of Design Memos (Exhibit A) which are bound in Volume 3). These DB Contract Documents describe, among other things, the risk allocation, scope of work, design criteria and performance requirements for the DB Project.

Volume 3 – Preliminary Drawings for Basis of Design Memos, including the 11 x 17 inch preliminary drawings associated with the Basis of Design Memos included in Exhibit A of the DB Contract Documents.

Proposers should note that, throughout Volume 2, notes exist in reference to specific areas within the DB Contract Documents where information from the selected Proposal will be inserted. These insertions will be completed during finalization of the DB Contract following successful contract negotiations.

By submitting a Proposal, a Proposer agrees, if selected for negotiations, to enter into good faith negotiations, and upon mutual agreement, to enter into a DB Contract in the form of the DB Contract Documents included in Volume 2.

1.3 Background 1.3.1 WISE System

The DB Project includes a number of new facilities required to implement the WISE System, a regional water supply involving Aurora Water, Denver Water, East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District (ECCV), and the Authority, which includes ten (10) participating water supply agencies (WISE Participants). Once completed, the WISE System will deliver water supplies from Denver and Aurora to the WISE Participants serving the South Metro region of the Denver Metropolitan area.

Overall, the WISE System will consist of a combination of existing and new water supply infrastructure. Existing Infrastructure will include: The Western Pipeline and portions of the State Land Board (SLB) Line owned by the Authority;

and

The Quebec Pump Station, owned by ECCV.

New water supply infrastructure for the WISE System to be provided as a Design/Build Project will include both Core Infrastructure and portions of the Local Infrastructure. Core Infrastructure includes components that must be in place for all WISE Participants to access their share of water supplied by the WISE DB Project. Local Infrastructure includes additional components needed for




certain WISE Participants to deliver water from the Core Infrastructure to their respective service areas. The Authority will serve as the contracting entity and single point of contact for the DB Project.

The selected Design/Builder will be asked to obtain certain permits and to design, construct, commission, and test the Core Infrastructure and portions of the Local Infrastructure.

1.3.2 Use of Existing Infrastructure

As discussed in Section 1.3.1, the WISE System will make use of existing infrastructure, including the Western Pipeline, portions of the SLB Line, and the Quebec Pump Station as shown in Attachment 1. The Western Pipeline is currently used to convey groundwater from ECCV’s Willows Well Field, located on the western end of the pipeline, to ECCV’s service area including ACCWA and Heritage Eagle Bend (HEB) Golf Course, located on the eastern end of the pipeline. The SLB Line is located east of highway E-470 along Arapahoe Road and then Smoky Hill Road. Each of the existing facilities mentioned are presently in-service and operated by ECCV. Proposers must detail plans to maintain service during construction, except during periods of approved temporary shutdown as discussed further herein.

The first phase of the WISE System will modify operation of this existing infrastructure to: Deliver treated water from Aurora Water to the SLB Line (via a temporary connection until other

planned water supply facilities are constructed);

Provide operational storage and surge mitigation via a new storage tank constructed at the system high point;

Deliver treated water to WISE Participants (and to Denver Water in a future phase not part of this DB Project);

Deliver treated water, bypassing the Quebec Pump Station, from east to west

Convert Willows Wells groundwater disinfection residual from free-chlorine to combined-chlorine (chloramine); and

Reduce the concentrations of iron and manganese in groundwater produced from the Willows Wells that is conveyed through the WISE System.

Future phases will allow for water to be delivered from the existing Binney Water Treatment Plant to the new Smoky Hill Storage Tank via a planned new pump station and pipeline that are not part of the current DB Project.

As a result of the WISE System improvements listed above, the Western Pipeline will be capable of conveying water west to east and east to west.

After the WISE System is in place, ECCV will retain rights to limited capacity in the Western Pipeline in order to convey Willows Wells groundwater to its service area. ECCV may also convey other water from east to west in the Western Pipeline for aquifer storage and recovery at its Willows Wells.

1.3.3 WISE Authority and WISE Partnership

The WISE Authority consists of ten (10) WISE Participants that have agreed and contracted to jointly develop the WISE System. WISE Participants include:

Centennial Water and Sanitation District

Parker Water and Sanitation District Town of Castle Rock

Rangeview Metropolitan District




Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District

Dominion Water and Sanitation District Pinery Water and Sanitation District

Stonegate Village Metropolitan District

Inverness Metropolitan District Meridian Water and Sanitation District

In addition to the WISE Participants listed above, the WISE Partnership Agreement includes Denver Water and Aurora Water. ECCV is a major stakeholder participant in the WISE DB Project through their funding participation in the DB Project. ECCV will retain rights in the WISE infrastructure. In addition, ECCV operates the Quebec Pump Station, their Willows Well Field and will operate the new treatment facility outlined herein for the Authority.

1.4 Authorization Based on results of the delivery assessment conducted by the Authority, the Authority plans to utilize a DB approach to deliver the Core Infrastructure and portions of the Local Infrastructure in order to meet the WISE System objectives and schedule for implementation. As such, the Board for the Authority authorized the procurement of a portion of the WISE System as defined in Section 2.3 of this RFP on a DB basis.

1.5 DB Project Funding The Authority is responsible for providing potable water to its Participants, each of which are responsible for meeting their funding agreements with the Authority and each of which has the ability to issue debt and fund improvements through water rates. The Authority will be responsible for administering payments to the Design/Builder from an established account for that purpose.

The locations of these facilities are shown in Exhibit A of the DB Agreement.

2.3.2 Design/Builder Work and Responsibilities

The selected Design/Builder will be responsible for obtaining certain permits, completing the design, constructing the facilities listed in Section 2.3.1, commissioning and acceptance testing those facilities. The Design/Builder will also be required to provide support for the Authority’s public relations and outreach program by providing requested information and status reporting materials as may be necessary. The Authority will maintain responsibility for conduct of any public relations or outreach activities. Design/Builder is also responsible for providing staff training and O&M Manuals related to the operation and maintenance of constructed facilities.

The Authority has developed preliminary design criteria and performance requirements for DB Project components and certain site information which is included in Exhibit A of the DB Agreement. The Authority will obtain required Site Plan Approval for the new Smoky Hill Storage Tank site as described further in Section 2.4.3 of Volume 1 of this RFP. Design/Builder will be responsible for any additional required construction permits for the Smoky Hill Storage Tank.

The Design/Builder’s responsibilities and a complete definition of the Work, as well as the Authority’s desired risk allocation, are set forth in more detail in the Draft Contract Documents in Volumes 2 and 3 of this RFP.

2.4 Available Information 2.4.1 Preliminary Technical Work and Other Design Requirements

The Authority contracted with Black & Veatch (BV) to prepare design criteria and performance requirements (as applicable) for each of the DB Project components. A series of Basis of Design Technical Memoranda describing the conceptual designs, available site information, technical specifications, and setting forth, as applicable, design criteria and performance requirements for the individual DB Project components are included in Exhibit A of the DB Agreement found in Volumes 2




and 3 of this RFP. The performance-based requirements are primarily related to the groundwater treatment and disinfection facility.

2.4.2 Geotechnical Information

The Authority is developing site-specific geotechnical information for the Smoky Hill Tank site. The information includes borings and lab testing results in the form of a Geotechnical Investigations Report prepared by Shannon and Wilson to be included in Exhibit A of the DB Agreement. The final Geotechnical Investigations Report is anticipated to be available by the week of December 1, 2014.

Limited geotechnical information is available for certain other portions of the Project and is available to short-listed Proposers.

Proposers shall base their proposed Fixed Design-Build Price on information included in the Geotechnical Investigations Report referenced above for the Tank site and on all other data made available by the Authority from applicable past geotechnical investigations and reports.

Proposers shall also provide detailed descriptions of the information and assumptions used to price their dewatering and foundation work as well as a description of the follow-up geotechnical investigations and analyses that they would conduct to confirm these assumptions if they were to be selected for contract negotiations.

The Selected Proposer will be allowed to conduct such investigations and analyses during contract negotiations. Prior to contract execution, the Authority will negotiate equitable adjustments to the Selected Proposer's proposed Fixed Design-Build Price based on the findings of such investigations and analyses provided they can be shown to materially differ from the assumptions stated in the Selected Proposer's Proposal.

The Authority has included this arrangement to help Proposers base their Fixed Design-Build Price on a baseline of information, knowing that there is a process in place to allow equitable price adjustments, if warranted, following selection and prior to contract execution as specifically described above. Following execution of the Design-Build Contract, the Design-Builder will be responsible for all geotechnical conditions and changes from assumed conditions.

2.4.3 Permitting and Approvals

The selected Design/Builder will be responsible for obtaining permits and approvals (except as otherwise stated in the Draft Contract Documents (Section 6.08 of the Supplementary Conditions) and in this RFP) required to construct the DB Project and to bring the facilities on-line, including approvals from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for potable water supply.

The Authority determined that a Site Plan Approval is required for the Smoky Hill Tank site. Due to schedule requirements and to provide greater certainty to Proposers regarding the type of work/mitigation that will be required at that site, the Authority has assumed responsibility for obtaining the Site Plan Approval (Step 1 in Aurora’s Site Plan Approval). Copies of the Site Plan Approval will be provided as part of the Draft DB Contract Documents once finalized. It is currently anticipated that the final Site Plan Approval for the Smoky Hill Tank site will be received by the Authority on or about November 19, 2014. Once obtained, the Authority will release an Addendum to this RFP for inclusion of the Site Plan Approval and related requirements into the Draft DB Contract Documents in Volumes 2 and 3 of the RFP. Proposers should note that the Design/Builder will still be required to obtain all other construction-related permits and approvals (including but not limited to: E-470 construction permit, City of Aurora construction permit (Step 2 of Site Plan Approval), building permits, etc.) at this site.




2.4.4 Other Available Information and Reference Documents

The Authority has available a variety of reference documents concerning the DB Project that are available to short-listed Proposers. A listing of these documents/files is included in Attachment 2 to the RFP. The Authority will coordinate with Proposers to provide access and login information for access to view and download available information documents and files. The Authority neither makes any representation or warranty with respect to, nor assumes any responsibility for the appropriateness, completeness or the accuracy of the background documents.

Unless otherwise stated, Proposers shall assume that they are solely responsible for conducting their own independent research and due diligence for the preparation of Proposals and the subsequent delivery of services under the DB Contract. Except as may be specifically provided in the DB Contract, no information derived from any part of the background documents, the RFQ, the RFP or from the Authority or any of its agents, employees, contractors, advisors or consultants, will relieve the Design/Builder from any risk or from fulfilling all terms of the DB Contract.

2.4.5 Verification of Existing Information

Proposers should review the DB Agreement, General Conditions, and Supplementary Conditions with respect to site suitability risk and verification of existing information (including but not limited to geotechnical conditions, condition of existing connections, locations of nearby utilities, and site access).

During Proposal preparation, the Authority will conduct a pre-proposal site visit to allow Proposers access to the sites for the DB Project components and to address questions about existing information or conditions subject to the limitations in Section 4.4 of this RFP.

2.5 Design/Build Contract The Design/Builder will enter into a DB Contract with the Authority for the DB Project. The Authority provided a draft of the DB Contract to short-listed Proposers for review and comment after short-listing; comments have been incorporated as deemed appropriate by the Authority. The Draft DB Contract reflects the Authority’s preferred risk allocation.

2.6 DB Project Schedule The Authority currently anticipates the following key dates for development of the DB Project: Notice to Proceed March 1, 2015

Substantial Completion June 1, 2016

Final Completion Within 90 days of Substantial Completion, except no later than December 31, 2016

Substantial Completion and Final Completion requirements are defined in the DB Contract Documents.

2.7 Pricing for Base and Alternate Proposals Proposers are required to submit a Base Proposal in accordance with the requirements of Section 4 of this RFP. Proposers have the option to also submit an Alternate Proposal as described in Section 4 which will provide detail and definition of alternative approaches to achieve what proposer believes is an innovation or a better value solution to achieve the Authority’s objectives for the project.




Proposers are required to submit a Proposed Fixed Design/Build Price for their Base Proposal and for their Alternate Proposal (if proposed). The negotiated Fixed Design/Build Price will constitute the DB Contract Price in the DB Agreement.

Proposers are also required to submit with their technical proposals, the estimated annual operations and maintenance costs for project components.




3.0 PROCUREMENT APPROACH AND SCHEDULE

3.1 Overall Proposal Phase Procurement Process and Schedule During this second phase (Phase II) of the Authority’s procurement process, initiated by issuance of this RFP, the Authority will review Proposals from short-listed Proposers and select for negotiations the Proposer that represents the best value to the Authority considering the proposal evaluation criteria and weightings. Should the Authority fail to successfully negotiate a DB Contract with the selected (highest ranking) Proposer, the Authority may proceed to negotiate with the next highest ranking Proposer. The Authority will notify all short-listed Proposers of the selection decision.

The Authority has established a five member Selection Committee comprised of Authority staff, members and stakeholders. The Selection Committee is responsible for reviewing Proposals, for evaluating them relative to the Authority’s established criteria and weightings, and for recommending a selected Design/Builder to the Authority Board. DB Contract execution will require approval of the Authority Board.

The Authority, at its sole discretion, may also choose to interview one or more Proposers submitting Proposals. The Authority also reserves the right to request clarifications from Proposers, and to request best and final offers from finalists. Specifically, the Authority may request best and final offers in the event it determines, upon review of Proposals, that additional clarification of the required Work is needed and that such clarification could affect Proposal pricing. In that event the Authority would issue an addendum requesting such best and final offers. The Authority also reserves the right to check references throughout the procurement process to verify experience and qualifications (including verification of quality on past projects) through phone interviews and, possibly, site visits to reference facilities. The Authority retains the right to interview and / or visit facilities that have not been listed as references but where Proposer team members, including specific individuals, have worked.

The overall Phase II procurement process and schedule is included in the following table:

Table of Contents Tab 1 Technical / Management Proposal The Technical / Management Proposal shall present the technical and project management aspects of the Proposer’s plan to design and build and provide all related management and technical services for the DB Project. The Technical/ Management Proposal shall be in sufficient detail to allow the Authority to evaluate the Proposer’s ability to complete the scope of design and construction work as well as commissioning and testing the facilities, to comply with the performance requirements and design criteria, and to manage other aspects of the DB Project set forth in the Supplementary Conditions.

Proposal Section 1.1 – Overall Concept

This section of the Technical/Management Proposal shall describe the Proposer’s approach to the Work by describing key aspects of their Proposal. This section should reflect the Proposer’s understanding of the RFP, identify the major Project participants, and briefly describe the Proposal, summarizing how the proposed services and team meet the requirements of the RFP and DB Contract Documents. This section should also reflect the Proposer’s knowledge of standard solutions applicable to project issues as well as the ability to offer innovative ideas. Proposers are encouraged to demonstrate innovation in their Proposals provided that the innovation results in clear advantage (e.g., shorter schedule, improved quality, cost savings) to the Authority.

Proposers shall address, in detail in the appropriate proposal subsections listed below, foundation conditions, approaches to seismic design if applicable, foundation design and similar issues. Proposers shall provide detailed descriptions of the information and assumptions used to price their dewatering and foundations work as well as a description of the follow-up geotechnical investigations and analyses that they would conduct to confirm these assumptions if they were to be selected for contract negotiations (see Section 2.4.2 of the RFP for additional information).

Proposal Section 1.2 – Chloramine Disinfection and Iron and Manganese Removal Treatment Facility

This section of the Technical/Management Proposal shall describe the proposed treatment system and technology in sufficient detail for the Authority to review the proposed design and evaluate its




compliance with the design criteria in Exhibit A of the Agreement. The Proposal shall describe, at a minimum, the following: Building

o Architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical designs

o Site/Civil work Treatment System

o Pressure filter system components

o Proposed proof-pilot testing protocol o Chloramine disinfection system

o Instrumentation and controls (Note that the treatment plant SCADA system must be integrated with the existing ECCV SCADA, separate from the other DB Project SCADA components)

o Start-up and Performance Compliance Testing

Yard Piping o Pipeline design from northern Willows Wells pipeline to the Treatment Building

o All other yard pipe and related components design

o Proposed approach to timing and sequence of existing facilities shutdown(s)

Proposers must provide the rationale underlying the proposed groundwater treatment process and technology. As described in the Exhibits to the DB Contract, the groundwater treatment process shall be designed initially to treat flows up to 4 mgd while meeting the performance requirements, which shall be described in the Proposal. The Proposal shall also describe all necessary provisions in the proposed design for the facility to be expanded (by Authority at some point in the future) to 8 mgd capacity while meeting performance requirements defined in the DB Contract.

Potentially acceptable treatment technologies include pyrolusite or greensand filtration. Proposers may propose either technology, or a combination of technologies. However, the Proposer will be required to demonstrate the viability of its design and selected treatment process through performance testing as further described below.

Proposers shall note that the treatment facility site is constrained and initial technical analyses by the Authority’s engineer indicate that 8 mgd capacity may not be feasible without the use of high rate filter media (e.g. pyrolusite). The Proposer shall demonstrate its specific concept of how to expand its selected treatment process from the initial 4 mgd capacity to future 8 mgd capacity on the available site in its Base Bid.

If Proposer presents a Base Bid that assumes a future building expansion in order to achieve 8 mgd of treatment capacity, then Proposer shall provide an Alternate Bid that includes pricing for a building sized to accommodate 8 mgd of treatment capacity (even if the entire building will not be used until sometime in the future).

The Proposal shall include a site layout to show that the 8 mgd building will fit the space available at the site. Proposers should note that if their proposed expansion concept includes a change in filter media, the DB Contract requires that all media (initially installed and media proposed for future capacity expansion to achieve an increase in rated capacity) must be successfully pilot-tested. Proposals shall include estimates for annual O&M costs at 4 mgd and at 8 mgd capacities for the selected media type(s) in subsection 2.2 under Tab 2 of the Proposal as described below.




Proposals shall include a preliminary proof-pilot testing protocol, including duration of the proof-pilot and description of the results that will be produced and analyzed. Other minimum requirements for this protocol are defined in the Treatment Facility Basis of Design Memorandum in Exhibit A of the DB Contract.
