Deadline: 2/4/2025 2:00 PM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Status: Deadline Expired
Solicitation Number: 25-007
Description: The City of Griffin (hereafter referred to as “Owner” or “The City”) is requesting a Proposal from firms (hereafter “Firm” or “Firms”) interested in providing Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services, including preconstruction and construction, for a plant expansion at the Shoal Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). The WPCP expansion will upgrade the plant from a 2.25 MGD plant sending effluent to the Blanton Mill Land Application System (LAS) to a 3.0 MGD plant discharging effluent to the nearby Shoal Creek. Additional components of the WPCP will be constructed as budget allows to prepare the plant for an upgrade to 5.0 MGD in the future. The WPCP expansion may include upgrades to influent screens, influent pump station, grit removal, biological treatment process, tertiary disk filters, UV disinfection, cascade aerator, creek discharge, aerobic digesters, biosolids dewatering press, operations building, as well as associated piping, appurtenances, sites work, and demolition.
The City will select one (1) Firm with experience delivering wastewater treatment plant construction via the CMAR model to participate in the design process and construct the project.
This project may be funded in whole or in part by the Georgia Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), or the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA). All associated federal funding requirements will apply to the contract. All contractors and subcontractors are required to be registered in the federal System for Award Management (SAM) and may not be debarred from doing business with the federal government. Respondents on this work will be required to comply with all applicable federal regulations.
The Engineer is currently 60% complete with the WPCP expansion design. The CMAR will work closely with the Engineer in reviewing the design, establishing pricing, and offering value engineering suggestions as the design process continues.
The intent is that project costs will be evaluated progressively throughout the Preconstruction phase of each project to ensure that the project can be completed within the City’s budget. Specific guaranteed maximum price (GMP) cost evaluation hold points include:
• 60% Design
• 90% Design (including 90% to 100% completion allowance)
Please note that as a part of Construction Manager’s construction phase responsibilities, the Construction Manager shall invite bids from prospective subcontractors in a competitive manner. Competitive proposals must be taken for any materials or equipment that is used to self-perform work.
Prior to inviting bids, the City may require the Construction Manager to issue a request for qualifications from prospective subcontractors. Such requests shall contain at a minimum a description of the general scope of the work, the deadline for submission of information, and how prospective bidders may apply for consideration. The request shall require information only on their qualifications, experience, and ability to perform requirements of the contract. Prospective subcontractors shall be ranked by the CMAR Purchasing Manager from most qualified to least qualified on the basis of the information pro-vided per internal procurement procedures. Bids shall then be solicited from at least the top three (3) prospective subcontractors by means of an invitation for bids. If the Purchasing Manager, in consultation with the Construction Manager, determines in writing that there are not three (3) subcontractors for a particular area of subcontract work which meet the required qualifications, the Construction Manager may invite bids only from those subcontractors deemed qualified.
