Item Summary
The City of Lubbock and the United States Air Force (USAF) are partnering in an effort to provide safe drinking water to replace contaminated wells within the city limits near the former Reese Air Force Base (RAFB) operations.  The USAF has done extensive testing of private wells around the former RAFB.  With more than 500 wells tested, 231 groundwater wells have been found to have levels above the allowable concentrations, according to Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).  This project will build water lines to service and potentially move citizens who agree to transfer onto City potable water services.  The funding for this project is provided by the USAF pursuant to the terms of the Environmental Services Cooperative Agreement approved by Resolution No. 2021-R0106 on March 23, 2021. On April 12, 2021, the City released a Request for Qualifications seeking qualified consultants to perform design phase services for the Reese Water Line Extension Capital Improvements Project. In response to RFQ-21-15838-MA, two proposals were received on May 6, 2021. The proposals were evaluated using the following criteria: 30 points for Project Team Organization and Qualifications, 30 points for Experience on Similar Projects, 30 points for Project Approach, and 10 points for Overall Responsiveness to the RFQ.  A 4-member committee evaluated the Statements of Qualification and the following ranking was obtained:   Firms Points Plummer Associates, Inc., Arlington, Texas 367 Freese and Nichols, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas 361 Staff and the Evaluation Committee recommend award of the contract to the highest ranked consultant, Plummer Associates, Inc., of Arlington, Texas, in the amount of $821,108.  Time for final completion is 300 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, for the contractor to perform construction phase services.
