Type of Award Lump Sum Bid Bond 0.00% Payment Bond 0.00% Performance Bond 0.00% Online Q&A No The City of San Diego's Miramar and Alvarado water treatment plants store and utilize Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Accidental Release Prevention Program (CalARP) regulated chemicals. These chemicals are elemental chlorine and ammonia hydroxide that are used as part of the water treatment process. Due to the storage quantity and concentration at the plants, the City is obligated to fulfill federal and/or state reporting requirements for both chemicals. Chlorine and Ammonia are disinfection chemicals that are highly regulated due to their toxicity, release endpoint distances, concentration and threshold quantities used or stored. Elemental chlorine used at the plants are Federal EPA and CalARP program level 3 covered processes. The aqueous ammonia used at the plants are CalARP program level 2 ("state only") covered processes. Offsite consequences are a possibility from an unintentional or accidental release. Authority is delegated to the County of San Diego Hazardous Materials Division as the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) for oversight of these processes. Between the two plants, each housing the two regulated chemicals, Water Production Division produces 16 separate reports during a five-year reporting cycle. There are three report types: RMP/PSM or CALARP (Public and Technical Document), a RMP Compliance Audit (an audit of the RMP), and a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) . The City has recently completed the cycle of all reporting activities and is requesting proposals to complete the next cycle. Consultant shall perform research to evaluate and/or confirm the appropriate regulatory report for each Miramar and Alvarado Water Treatment Plant's chlorine and ammonia systems to meet state and federal reporting requirements. Consultant shall develop a 5-year schedule designating the timeline for each report development. Then the Consultant shall prepare the required regulatory reports for each chemical system by the specified deadline. Site visits and workshops will be required when applicable. The City shall apply a maximum of an additional 12 points for Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) or Emerging Local Business Enterprise (ELBE) participation, to the proposer's subtotal maximum evaluation points. Additional points will be awarded as follows to achieve the proposer's final maximum evaluation points: *The value for this project is based on a financial range.
