SWSC Bid No. 24-21; RFQ FOR SUBCONTRACTOR SERVICES FOR THE WEST PARISH WATER TREATMENT PLANT 

The Springfield Water and Sewer Commission (Commission) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from Subcontractor (SC) firms for RFQ No. 24-21 West Parish Water Treatment Plant (Project) interested in performing work at the West Parish Filters (WPF) in Westfield, MA. The Commission is seeking SOQs from qualified and experienced DCAMM-certified SC firms who have demonstrated experience in the construction and implementation of similar work in terms of scale and complexity. SC firms seeking to be qualified to compete in this two-phase selection process are invited to submit SOQs to the office of the Commission, ATTN: Theo Theocles, Esq., Procurement Officer no later than 2:00 PM (EST) on November 8, 2023 at 250 M Street Extension, Agawam, MA 01001.

SOQs are being requested from SC firms with a DCAMM Certification in one of the following classes of work each with an estimated construction cost of the work to be performed by SC firms as follows:

(a)          Lathing and Plastering..................................................................... $652,000-$760,000

(b)          Elevators........................................................................................... $568,000-$663,000

(c)           Fire Protection Sprinkler Systems.............................................. $2,122,000-$2,476,000

(d)          Plumbing..................................................................................... $2,679,000-$3,126,000

(e)          Resilient Floors..................................................................................... $53,000-$62,000

The Commission is implementing the Project in accordance with Massachusetts General Law (MGL) Chapter 149, Sections 44A through 44J. 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 site of the Project is located on the existing West Parish Filters site at 1515 Granville Road, Westfield, Massachusetts. 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.

Direct any questions by e-mail only to Theo Theocles at Theo.Theocles@waterandsewer.org and cc Marc Morin at MMorin@hazenandsawyer.com before Wednesday, November 1, 2023 at 4:00 PM (EST). 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. SC firms are reminded that the project is funded by the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, as well as the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (SRF), and are encouraged to make themselves familiar with any associated compliance requirements.

Further public notice information regarding the specifics of this Project and the prequalification evaluation criteria and selection process is included in the RFQ.
