Advertisement for general contractor and subcontractor informational session for the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission WEST PARISH WATER TREATMENT PLANT The Springfield Water and Sewer Commission (Owner) invites General Contractor (GC) and Subcontractor (SC) firms to attend an informational session concerning its upcoming West Parish Water Treatment Plant project (Project). The project includes partial demolition of existing water treatment plant infrastructure and construction of a new 65-mgd water treatment plant. The new water treatment plant includes dissolved air flotation (DAF), filtration, raw and treated water conveyance, chemical storage and feed equipment, a dewatering facility, new electrical feed, an emergency generator, workshop, and administrative area. The 22,100 sf administrative area includes a laboratory, offices, locker rooms, breakrooms and other administrative spaces. The project site will remain an operational water treatment plant during construction and includes site improvements for access, parking, and stormwater management. The site of the Project is located on the existing West Parish Filters site at 1515 Granville Road, Westfield, Massachusetts. The Owner anticipates work on the project will commence in the second quarter of 2024 and construction will be completed within four years from the date of issuance of the notice to proceed to the GC. The Owner intends to conduct a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to prequalify GC and SC firms to bid on the Project as provided in M.G.L. c. 149, §44D½ and §44D3/4. The RFQ will be the first phase of a two-phase Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process for the Project during which the Owner will select respondents it deems to be prequalified in accordance with the criteria set forth in the RFQ. During the second phase of the RFQ process, the prequalified respondents will be invited to submit bids and filed sub-bids in response to an RFQ which the Owner anticipates will be issued in the first quarter of 2024. Only GC and SC firms prequalified for the Project in the first phase of the RFQ process will be permitted to submit bids and filed sub-bids. At the time a GC firm submits its Statement of Qualifications (SOQ), it must have a DCAMM Certification in the Contractor Category “Sewage and Water Treatment Plants” with a single limit greater than the $260,000,000 estimated construction cost. At the time an SC firm submits its Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) it must have a DCAMM Certification in the particular trade or trades for which it intends to submit a filed sub-bid. All GC and SC firms that are interested in potentially submitting an SOQ on the Project are strongly encouraged to initiate the DCAMM certification process as soon as possible. Firms considering submitting SOQ’s should review applicable DCAMM requirements at https://dcamm.gob2g.com/Default.asp. The Owner anticipates the RFQ to be issued in the third quarter of 2023. Only GC and SC firms that are appropriately DCAMM certified will be considered for prequalification. Two in-person informational sessions will be held at the site of the Project on May 10, 2023 and June 9, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. A virtual session will be conducted on May 24, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Virtual meeting access information will be provided to those GC and SC firms that RSVP for the virtual session.

This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is the first part of a two-step Request for Proposals (RFP) process as provided in MGL Chapter 149, Section 44D3/4 inclusive, which shall be incorporated herein by reference. Based on the SOQs received in this first step, the Commission will select respondents it deems to be prequalified in accordance with the criteria set forth in the RFQ. In the second step, the prequalified respondents will be invited to submit bids in response to a Request for Bids (RFB) which the Commission anticipates being issued on or around February 9, 2024. Only SC firms prequalified for this Project in the first step will be permitted to submit bids in the second step. The ultimate awarding of a contract(s) resulting from the RFB is subject to the approval of the Board of Commissioners of the Commission. The Project delivery method for construction will be design-bid-build. The Project generally consists of construction of a 65-mgd firm capacity dissolved air flotation (DAF) filtration water treatment plant, including raw and treated water conveyance, chemical storage and feed equipment, dewatering facility, new electrical feed and emergency generator, workshop, laboratory, other administrative spaces, and site improvements for access, parking, and stormwater management.

The Commission anticipates work on the Project will commence in June of 2024, and construction will be completed within 1,508 calendar days from the date of the notice to proceed to the General Contractor. At the time a SC firm submits its SOQ it must have a DCAMM Certification in one or more of the following classes of work: (a) Lathing and Plastering; (b) Elevators; (c) Fire Protection Sprinkler Systems; (d) Plumbing; and (e) Resilient Floors. This required SOQ is different from DCAMM Certification. All SC firms must be prequalified for this Project, even if the SC firm is already DCAMM certified. SOQs shall be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria: (1) Management Experience; (2) Project References, including a Public Project Record; and (3) Capacity to Complete, including a demonstration that the SC has the financial stability and long-term viability to successfully implement the Project. SOQs must conform to the requirements set forth in the RFQ. The complete RFQ, including directions, will be available Wednesday, October 18, 2023 and will be distributed upon email request to Theo.Theocles@waterandsewer.org. A register of all respondents’ names will be publicly available, but SOQs will be read and evaluated privately.

Prospective respondents shall not communicate with any person or entity participating on the Prequalification Committee at any time during the RFQ process except through written questions submitted in accordance with the process outlined in the RFQ. The Commission reserves the right to waive any informality, or to reject any or all responses, if in the public interest to do so. The Commission is an EEO/DMBE/DWBE employer, and is committed to the utilization of disadvantaged business enterprises as vendors, suppliers, and contractors in all aspects of procurement and contracting to the maximum extent feasible. DMBE and DWBE participation and minority work force goals will apply to this Project.
