RFP Construction Manager At-Risk Services - Backup Power Generators and Diesel Fuel Storage and Dispensing Systems

EPWater owns and operates distinct wells, pump stations, and treatment facilities located in El Paso, Texas. EPWater plans to add backup generators to approximately 24 sites, as shown in Table 1, to improve the existing operations capacity during events of power outage. The CMAR services will include the pre-purchase of the backup power generators. At the same time, EPWater will procure design services for all of the generators EPWater plans to install a new aboveground diesel fuel storage and dispensing system at two sites. Each fuel storage system will have a maximum storage capacity of 50,000 gallon. The first site is located at 7280 Bosque Road, Canutillo, TX 79835. The second site is located at 12123 Dyer St, El Paso, TX 79934. Phase I preconstruction services encompass constructability reviews, value engineering, estimating, and scheduling activities. Phase I is complete upon agreement cost, terms and award of the multiple guaranteed maximum price (GMP) proposals in accordance with the Construction Procurement Plan. By the end of Phase I, all 100% designs submittal reviews are completed, and any GMP proposal reconciliations are revised as required. The CMAR Firm will provide preconstruction services to support EPWater's Design Engineers in developing the designs for generators and the Diesel Fuel Storage and Dispensing Systems. During the design phase, the Design Engineers will advance designs to the 60% level of completion necessary to define the project and will provide these documents to EPWater and the CMAR Firm. Based on these documents, the CMAR Firm will present to EPWater a construction schedule for all project sites and the multiple GMPs, including the cost of the work through commissioning and start-up. The CMAR Firm will support the Design Engineers to advance design submittals from 60% through 90% until the draft 100% submittal is reached. At the Draft 100% Design stage, the CMAR may be tasked to perform Value Engineering (VE) on all designs along with a Constructability Review Workshop. Phase II construction services, when EPWater and CMAR Firm have agree on the construction price, the construction phase begins, in which the CMAR assumes the general contractor role, encompassing full construction, startup and commissioning of the project including warranty and closeout.
