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.
