03 RFQ 25-12 Background Documents.pdf

The file appears to be a background document related to a Water Treatment Plant Planning & Design project for the City of Colorado, utilizing a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) delivery method. The project is part of a Water System Improvement initiative developed through a public process to establish comprehensive community objectives. The City is seeking a Design-Builder to collaborate closely during Phase 1 to develop a design and funding strategy, with the ultimate goal of constructing the water treatment plant at a mutually agreed-upon contract price and schedule.

The procurement approach emphasizes collaboration and flexibility, with the City committed to working alongside the selected Design-Builder to achieve project goals. The contract will be implemented either as a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) or Lump Sum (LS) contract, with expectations that the Design-Builder will complete the project through commissioning, startup, and final acceptance. The selection process appears to prioritize a partner who can effectively meet the city's technical requirements and community objectives while maintaining cost and schedule discipline.
