San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant (SJLWTP)

As of August 8, 2022, this project has been delayed to 2023. Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, construction is not expected to start prior to 2024. This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, and to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 237990 which has a corresponding Size standard of $36.5M annual average revenue. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), a water management agency within the Department of the Interior desires to engage the water treatment industry to provide a clear, concise, fair, and reasonable approach to the procurement strategy regarding the design and construction of the San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant (SJLWTP). The SJLWTP is part of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP), whose overarching mission is to convey a reliable municipal and industrial water supply from the San Juan River to the eastern section of the Navajo Nation, southwestern portion of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and the city of Gallup, New Mexico via about 300 miles of pipeline, several pumping plants, and two water treatment plants. BOR seeks to further its mission for the NGWSP through a traditional (firm-fixed) design-build procurement strategy of the SJLWTP in conformance with the two-step process identified in Federal Acquisitions Regulations, Subpart 36.3 Two Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures. Phase One will be a merit/qualifications-based selection, while Phase Two will focus primarily on cost and technical approach (see attached draft Sections L and M for Phase One and Phase Two evaluation criteria) based on an approximate 30% design level with the Phase Two Proposal. The SJLWTP design-build contract incorporates an initial 22.0 million gallons per day (MGD) water treatment plant, expandable in the future to 37.6 MGD, with six months of operations and maintenance included in the proposed initial award. The SJLWTP will receive pretreated surface water from the San Juan River via Reaches 1 3 (designed by BOR and constructed by others) and will deliver treated water to the Reach 4a transmission pipeline (designed by BOR and constructed by others) serving multiple entities. The SJLWTP project scope will involve the design and construction for the work within the plant yard for which no design has yet been performed. Strategy Overview/Schedule of Projected Events: The purpose of the Sources Sought Notice, request for information questions below, and the Industry Day is to gather industry information from interested parties, which is deemed essential as part of Reclamations collaborative planning process for the design-build procurement of the SJLWTP.
