The approach should address the key technical concerns outlined below.

Document Title NGWSP Intake & River PP

Definitions for Evaluation Factor

1. Technical Approach

The "Technical Approach" refers to the contractor's proposed methods and strategies for accomplishing the tasks outlined in the solicitation. It encompasses the techniques, processes, and technologies that the contractor intends to use in constructing a river intake and raw water pumping plant. The technical approach should demonstrate an understanding of the project requirements, including:

• Incorporating industry best practices.

• Addressing key technical concerns such as in-river work, concrete modifications, slurry wall installation, mitigating installation damage to pumps, schedule opportunities and constraints, and commissioning of the facility.

• Approach to in-river work, concrete modifications, slurry wall installation, accelerating material procurement, meeting or exceeding period of performance, developing and implementing a streamlined commissioning. This approach should be tailored to ensure efficient, effective, and compliant execution of the work while meeting the specific needs of the agency.

Key Technical Concerns of Reclamation

1. Concrete Construction for Intake and Pumping Plant

Provide a detailed technical plan for the concrete construction associated with the intake structure, existing concrete channel modifications, and pump installation. Address the full sequence of work, integrating excavation, demolition, concrete placement (including mass concrete and lean concrete), reinforcement installation, backfill, and compaction.

Key elements to include:

a. Excavation and Demolition Plan: Describe methods for excavating to foundation lines Address demolition of existing structures (concrete walls in the intake and the existing pumping plant), stockpiling suitable materials for backfill, and disposal of waste. Include sequence to minimize interference with ongoing site activities, haul routes, and measures to protect adjacent utilities and observation wells.

b. Concrete Placement Approach: Outline challenges such as variable subsurface conditions, concrete placement on slopes in congested areas, and tying into existing concrete. Explain how challenges will be addressed.

c. Pump Mounting Tolerances and Installation Precision: Concrete surfaces and embedded components associated with pump mounting (including the soleplate and discharge head interface) shall be installed to tight tolerances to ensure proper alignment, fit-up, and performance of the vertical turbine pumping units. Particular attention shall be paid to flatness, levelness, and allowable shaft alignment clearances. Installation shall accommodate the precise interface requirements of the pump manufacturer to ensure long-term equipment reliability and minimize vibration. Detail how installation precision requirements will be met.

d. Backfill and Compaction Around the Plant/Intake Facilities: Detail sourcing and processing of backfill materials, placement methods, moisture conditioning, and compaction equipment. Include general testing approach and compaction targets.

e. Temporary Shoring: Indicate if temporary shoring is planned based on excavation depths, soil stability, and proximity to existing structures. If planned, describe the general approach, including installation and removal.

2. Ground Water Control Approach

Comprehensive plan for managing groundwater, focusing on cement-bentonite (C-B) slurry cutoff wall installation and dewatering/unwatering systems. Key elements to include:

Document Title NGWSP Intake & River PP

a. Slurry Wall Installation: Describe excavation methods (trench to required depth, keyed into bedrock), equipment, and sequence to avoid damaging existing channels/pipelines (seals at contacts). Detail general mix design approach, batching/hydration processes, and slurry loss management. Include post-construction cutout windows (backfilled with sand/gravel mix) and spoils placement.

b. Dewatering/Unwatering Method: Outline system design (well points, sumps) to lower groundwater sufficiently before excavation. Address installation of observation wells (spacing, using existing wells), monitoring (levels, turbidity), and discharge compliance (sediment control). Include reserve power, winterization, and abandonment procedures. Sequence with slurry wall construction (install wall first).

3. Commissioning Implementation

• Maintaining a constant water surface elevation for the intake pumps is complicated given the complexity of multiple gate operations, water supply over the fish weir, and variable river flows. The contractor shall detail how they will deal with the challenges of commissioning the complex system, simulating variable river conditions, and covering the entire pumping plant flow range (minimum to maximum). Coordinating communication of Intake Facility with SJLWTP.

4. Other Contractor/Government Engagement

• At least 3 other projects, San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant (SJLWTP), Reach 1 Pipeline Improvements and the Frank Chee Wiletto Reservoir Modifications, may be under construction while the Intake is under construction.

➢ The SJLWTP contractor will operate the Intake and Pumping Plant upon substantial completion of the Intake project. Also, the SCADA at the Intake will need to communicate with the SCADA at the WTP. Indicate coordination needed with SJLWTP contractor to ensure successful implementation of the communication systems and operation of the facilities.

➢ The Reach 1 Pipeline contractor will be grouting the interior of each pipe joint, possible unknown repairs, and testing the pipeline once the repairs are complete. The temporary pumps may need to provide water for testing the repairs. Explain coordination needed to successfully repair and test pipeline.

➢ The Frank Chee Willetto Reservoir may be drained through the Reach 1 Pipeline for the proposed modifications.

Describe coordination needed to facilitate draining the reservoir.

• Reclamation is in the process of purchasing transformers for the River Intake Facility. Explain coordination approach to ensure equipment is safely delivered to site and installed when needed. Transformers will be provided as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and are detailed in the specifications.

• Depending on water demands at the Frank Chee Willetto Reservoir, Reclamation or their contractors may need to operate the existing temporary pumps. Explain coordination needed to ensure flows can be delivered as needed.

5. Schedule Constraints

• Completion of the Intake Facility is critical in delivering water to the San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant. Describe methods and recommendations used to optimize the schedule.

• At a minimum, integrate major features including slurry wall installation, dewatering, cofferdam installation, equipment fabrication, channel modifications, pump installation, building construction and commissioning.

• Explain the project specific plan for reducing delays and how delays will be addressed.
