Background Information
The Department of Utilities has instituted a program to improve distribution system reliability and reduce unnecessary water loss by replacing infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful service life. As part of this program, the Department of Utilities is replacing the welded steel water mains affixed to bridges throughout the City in a prioritized manner. In the next phase of this program, the pipelines affixed to the bridges along Haberland Boulevard, Woodhaven Drive and North Toledo Blade Boulevard have been identified as in need of replacement.
In addition, Sarasota County has a Bridge Replacement Project on Ortiz Boulevard. In conjunction with this project, the Department of Utilities is planning to replace the watermain affixed to the bridge on Ortiz Boulevard. In order to achieve project savings, the Department of Utilities intends to have all four bridges designed by the same Consultant.
A Request for Letters of Interest (RLI) 2021-01 was issued on October 1, 2020, to the eight firms under Category 2 of Continuing Services Contract 2020-58 to secure professional engineering services to design, bid and provide construction phase services for the replacement of the water mains at the four bridges. Eight Letters of Interest were received. Staff evaluated each Letter of Interest based on the following criteria:
§ Understanding of Project deliverables
§ Expertise and qualifications and availability of personnel
§ Timeline, evaluations, and experience on Utility Projects
§ Proposed cost saving measures
§ References and required forms
Based on these established criteria, Infrastructure Solution Services, LLC. was selected to proceed with development of a Scope and Fee Schedule and submit to the Department of Utilities by December 16, 2020. After careful review and revisions of the Scope and Fee Schedule submitted, the Department of Utilities recommends that Infrastructure Solution Services, LLC. be awarded the Work Assignment for this Project.
