Proposed Motion: |
Move City Council award Construction Manager at Risk Agreement No. WA2103.401, to Quantum Integrated Solutions, Inc., for the Pecos Surface Water Treatment Plant SCADA Upgrade GMP-1 Construction Services, in an amount not to exceed $2,766,254.46. |
Background/Discussion: |
The Pecos Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP), located at 1475 East Pecos Road, was put into service in 1989. The Pecos SWTP produces drinking water for the City’s residents and businesses. The control system for the City’s water treatment plant and water distribution network is housed at the Pecos SWTP. Operational control of the water system relies heavily on automation to reliably communicate with water facilities. This automation system, commonly called Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) controls and monitors the Pecos SWTP and approximately 50 remote facilities. Beyond system control, SCADA also captures numerous data points for system analysis and regulatory reporting. The City’s 2019 SCADA Master Plan identified the need to replace the outdated control system with new systems, bringing the water system SCADA up to current City and industry standard. The project scope of work includes upgrades to the legacy SCADA hardware and software at the Pecos SWTP and remote locations, as well as unifying the control hardware across all networks, including replacement of control panels and controllers with standardized programmable logic controllers, cabinet replacements, new servers and software, cellular modems, ethernet devices, electrical supply and backup, digital input modules, switches, fiber optic cables and conduit, racks and mounts. Work also includes installation of new cabinets, routing inside existing building, trench for new conduit onsite, and restoration of affected existing improvements and facilities. This Construction Manager at Risk Agreement is for Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) No. 1 for procurement of long-lead materials and equipment, site preparation, and utility locating. The subsequent GMP No. 2, scheduled for City Council consideration in Spring 2023, will be for work to be completed before the fall plant shutdown. GMP No. 3, scheduled for City Council consideration in late Summer 2023, will be for work to be completed during the fall/winter plant shutdown. The agreement completion time is 270 calendar days following Notice to Proceed. A related Professional Services Agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., for the Pecos Surface Water Treatment Plant SCADA Upgrade GMP-1 Construction Management Services, is also scheduled for this City Council meeting. |
Evaluation: |
The selection process was followed in accordance with City policy and procedure and State law. Staff recommends Agreement award to Quantum Integrated Solutions, Inc., based on qualifications, relevant firm experience, team experience, project understanding, and project approach. Staff reviewed the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal and determined it to be reasonable. |
