Pojoaque Basin Regional Water System Phase 2 Design-Build Statement of Objectives Solicitation No 140R4025R0032.

Summary of Work

01 11 00 - 1

SECTION 01 11 00

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, has a requirement for a hybrid Fixed Price and Progressive Design-Build for the Pojoaque Basin Regional Water System (PBRWS) Phase

2. The Pojoaque Basin Regional Water System (PBRWS) was authorized by the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act (P.L. 111-291, Title VI) (Act). The Act established several objectives with deadlines and is being procured in phases.

• The PBRWS is to have an ultimate capacity of delivering 4,000 acre-feet per year with a peak daily estimated demand of 6.23 million gallons per day (MGD).

• Substantial completion of the project will be the building of portions of the system that can provide an initial anticipated demand of 2,500 acre-feet per year with components capable of accommodating the ultimate 4,000 acre- feet per year.

• PBRWS will have the ability to transfer up to 1,000 acre-feet per year of unused water from the lower sections of the system to a connection tee at the intersection of Bishop’s Lodge Road and Tesuque Village Road.

• The PBRWS will provide drinking water that meets or exceeds safe drinking water act standards.

• Water is to be supplied to users within San Ildefonso, Pojoaque, Nambé, and Tesuque Pueblos; and a portion of Santa Fe County (a.k.a. Bishops Lodge extension).

• PBRWS Phase I is currently being constructed under contract R17PC00023.

• This contract action is undertaken within the authority of Reclamation which was authorized by Congress for the design and construction of The Pojoaque Regional Water System (PBRWS) within the state of New Mexico

1.02 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1. The Project is to be designed and constructed using a hybrid Fixed Price and

Progressive design-build delivery method. Some principal components of work are well-defined and shall be bid up front following a Fixed Price design-build delivery method, while other components of work are not well-defined and shall follow the Progressive design-build delivery method.

2. This contract differs from a typical design-build contract in that designs have already been completed for this project to the 60-100% level. These designs may require some substantial revisions, returning some elements to the 0-30% level.

3. Design Phase: Utilize existing design drawings and WaterGEMS model information at varying percentages of completion (e.g. conceptual, 30%, or 60%), collect necessary additional design data, incorporate value engineering and innovative technology to prepare design to 90% complete. For Principal Components of Work following a progressive bid schedule, the contract will apply an iterative design and cost-estimation process. The contractor will produce

01 11 00 - 2 a construction cost estimate at 30% and 60% design levels with iterative feedback from Reclamation to guide the project to an acceptable scope and price. At 90% the contractor shall develop a fixed price proposal for construction activities.

a. The best practice for this progressive iteration of scope and cost development is to not progress to the next phase of design until there is agreement on the current scope and budget. This discipline requires that project features be adjusted, owner preferences prioritized, and construction costs verified.

4. Construction Phase: Complete 100% design and construction tasks, including construction inspection services, cultural monitoring services, system disinfection, and as-built drawings (if firm-fixed price is approved by the Owner at the end of the Design Phase). The Construction Phase also includes incorporating specified existing drinking water infrastructure into the Project.

5. Post-Construction Phase: Complete pump station testing, demonstration testing, operator training and provide technical support during the initial 6 months of Project operations. Project operations will be performed by the County of Santa Fe on behalf of the Pojoaque Basin Regional Water Authority.

6. Even when the Contractor elects to use Government‑provided 100% design documents, the Contractor shall remain fully responsible for the final design and shall assume all duties and liabilities of the Engineer of Record.

1.03 OBJECTIVES

A. The Owner’s objectives for delivery of the Project described below are as follows:

1. Quality: Provide facilities and equipment that fully integrate with existing features of the Pojoaque Basin Regional Water System in full compliance with federal and state regulations and contractual standards for water quality. The project needs to be designed and constructed to operate through a wide range of production quantities, while delivering water that meets federal clean drinking water standards for all customers, varying from 170,000 gallons per day on average for the first three to five years of operation to an estimated 6.23 million gallons per day to meet ultimate peak daily demand. The Phase 1 (CDM Smith) and Phase 2 projects of the PBRWS shall be compatible so the system can be operated together as a single regional water system. The system will incorporate fire protection. Design and construction shall comply with all environmental and cultural resources commitments required by federal, state, local and tribal permits.

Cooperation and communication are needed to minimize road closures and utility outages during construction.

2. Schedule:

a. Achieve stakeholder facilitation and review of 90% design of the prioritized construction line items in Price Schedule C to begin construction within 180 days after contract award. Completion of design, construction, commissioning, and performance testing of the project

01 11 00 - 3 components within the remaining 1,120 days after the start of construction.

b. The construction schedule shall be approved by the Contracting Officer (CO) as stated in FAR 52.236-15.

1) The CO will prioritize completion of salient features of work as necessary, if it is in the best interest of the government.

3. Risk: Achieve an optimal balance of risk allocation between the Owner and the

Design-Builder.

4. Safety: Implement an effective safety program incorporating best industry practices that meet or exceed all relevant Reclamation Safety and Health Standards (RSHS).

B. By selecting a hybrid Fixed Price and Progressive design-build delivery method for the Project, Reclamation and stakeholders are committed to working in close collaboration with the Design-Builder during the Design Phase to develop the Project’s design to achieve the Project objectives and to obtain a mutually agreeable lump-sum price for delivery of the Project that meets this Project’s available budget. As set forth in this Statement of Objectives (SOO), the Owner has certain technical requirements and standards that will apply to the Project’s design.

1.07 PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS OF WORK

This Phase 2 contract includes design and construction of but is not limited to:

A. System Modeling and Report –

1. Existing designs: Reclamation’s TSC has completed a WaterGEMS hydraulic model that incorporates the Phase 1 and the Phase 2 Design. Reclamation’s TSC has also completed Phase 2 designs and specifications to the 60-100% level.

Phase 1’s Design Builder has completed 100% Phase 3 distribution line designs for San Ildefonso and parts of Pojoaque. The contractor should use this model, the drawings, and specifications contained in the appendices as a guideline to develop the most economic and robust water system that ultimately satisfies the AAMODT Litigation.

2. New requirements: There is not anticipated to be enough funding to complete the entire Phase 2 as described in the above available existing designs and reports.

The stakeholders have eliminated some features that they are no longer interested in, and the remaining features are listed as principal components of work B-J below.

a. The model shall determine if the remaining features are hydraulically adequate and re-design the system to compensate for fatal flaws, if any, resulting from the missing features.

b. The final design shall anticipate that the Regional Water Authority will make expansions after Phase 2 and shall include modeling to ensure future expansions are hydraulically compatible with the current designs.

c. The deliverable shall be a design report describing the results of the modeling.

d. Cuyumungue Expansion– In addition to the general Phase 2 modeling efforts described above, there will specifically be a feasibility investigation of providing water delivery to the Cuyumungue neighborhood in the southeast corner of Pojoaque Pueblo. The Phase 2 tank intended to serve this neighborhood was eliminated by stakeholders.

This effort would investigate the feasibility of alternative methods for serving this neighborhood from the existing Buffalo Thunder Tanks or Turtle Tank. This effort would include leading meetings with stakeholders, data collection and modeling, and presenting 30% design alternatives and cost estimates for stakeholder decisions.

B. County Interconnect – approximately 15 miles of pipeline, 3 pump stations, and 2 forebay tanks. This component is a transmission pipeline to transmit potable water from

01 11 00 - 6 the Phase 1 South Forebay Tank on Tribal Works Rd in Pojoaque to a point of future interconnection with Santa Fe County’s water distribution system at the intersection of Tesuque Village Rd and Bishop’s Lodge Rd. A distribution line shall be buried in the same trench. The transmission system shall be capable of reverse flow, bringing water from the County’s system into the Pojoaque Basin Regional Water System.

1. Pipeline:

a. Alignment: the pipeline alignment shall follow the existing alignment design, as shown in the 100% P2S2 Pipelines design, with two exceptions:

1) The pipeline shall be realigned to follow the US-285 frontage road starting at Camel Rock studios until the intersection of US-285 and Tesuque Village Rd.

a) There is no utility or Geotech data for this stretch.

2) Other re-alignments are allowed for value engineering purposes with the permission of the respective Pueblo. Private land easements are time-extensive to obtain and thus it is recommended to value engineer re-alignments to avoid private parcels.

b. Design Data: Geotech and utility information for the existing pipeline alignment is available.

c. Transmission and distribution details:

1) The distribution pipeline shall include appropriately spaced fire hydrants, except in the segment from the northern border of Tesuque Pueblo to the intersection of US-285 and Tesuque Village Rd.

2) Provide distribution tees at all locations where future system expansion would reasonably be anticipated for a water utility.

3) Seven transmission tees shall be provided at locations including Buffalo Thunder tank/Nambe Falls Travel Center, Camel Rock Casino tank, Tesuque IGC tank, Tesuque Oweenge Day School tank, Tesuque Mobile Home Park tank, Tesuque Casino tank, and at the intersection of Tesuque Village Rd and NM-592.

01 11 00 - 7

a. This site includes both a forebay tank and pump station. The forebay tank and pump station have been designed to 100% as shown in the P2S2 Site Facilities drawings. The Pueblo of Tesuque has indicated that it would prefer the pump station to be relocated to the western side of US-285. The Pueblo has approved a site north of the old RV Park on the west side of US-285, approximately 1,200 feet northwest and 40 feet lower in elevation. Geotech information is not available for this site.

4. Tesuque Pump Station:

a. This site includes both a forebay tank and pump station. The forebay tank and pump station have been designed to 100% as shown in the P2S2 Site Facilities drawings. The Pueblo of Tesuque has indicated that it requires the pump station to be relocated to the southeast area of the intersection between US-285 and Tesuque Village Rd. This new site is approximately 2,000 feet northwest and 30 feet lower in elevation. Geotech information is not available for this site.

b. During the design phase, prepare cost estimates to compare burying the forebay tank, partially burying the forebay tank, and not burying the forebay tank. For bidding purposes, assume the tank will not be buried.

C. Nambe Pueblo Connection – Approximately 3.5 miles of pipeline, 1 pump station, 1 forebay tank, and one connection to an existing tank. This component is a transmission pipeline to provide potable water to the Pueblo of Nambe from the point where Phase 1 leaves off on NM-503. A distribution line shall be buried in the same trench.

2. Nambe Pueblo Connection Pipeline:

a. The pipeline will include both a transmission and distribution line in the same trench. The starting point of the pipeline is the Nambe Pump Station, and the ending connection point to an existing tank is TBD. The contractor shall provide a 30% design and cost estimate for two alternative destinations described below. Once the Pueblo selects the alternative, the contractor shall proceed with design to 100%.

1) Alternative Destination #1 - Nambe Buffalo Tank: The 100% P2S1 designs included a pipeline reaching the Nambe Buffalo Tank site.

The contractor shall value engineer the pipeline alignment to reach the Nambe Buffalo Tank but avoiding the culturally sensitive Pueblo Plaza.

2) Alternative Destination #2 - New Nambe Tank: The contractor shall value engineer the pipeline alignment to reach a new conceptual Nambe tank, likely in the northern portion of the Pueblo near NM-503.

01 11 00 - 8

a) Due to the large amount of uncertainty on this conceptual tank, the 30% design and cost estimate for this alternative will not be due until 3 months after Reclamation provides the site information for the new tank.

b. This component also includes approximately 540 feet of pipeline to get from the end point of the Phase 1 pipeline on NM-503 to the Nambe Pump Station. This pipeline segment is shown on the 100% P2S1 drawings.

c. Transmission and distribution details:

1) The distribution pipeline shall include appropriately spaced fire hydrants.

4. Pump Stations

a. The Phase 2 design will include up to 4 pump stations: one in the Phase 2

Stage 1 Nambe Pueblo system to transmit water from the Turtle Tank transmission system to the distribution tank locations in east Nambe and three in the Phase 2 Stage 2 Tesuque Pueblo/Santa Fe County Interconnect to transmit water from Pojoaque South pump station to RKM Tank. Air chambers will be required immediately downstream of each pump station.

An electrical power transformer would also be located adjacent to the pump station facility. Pump station buildings will be designed to allow for operations, maintenance, and replacement (OM&R) activities. Locations for the pump stations are identified in the existing drawings. Relocation of the pump stations shall be considered in the design phase of this contract.

5. Pipe Trenches

01 11 00 - 14

a. Distribution and transmission mains shall be placed in joint trench wherever feasible and economical. This practice will aid in the reduction of time that roads need to be closed and increase the productivity of pipe laying. Consideration is needed during design to facility backfilling based on pipe sizes and pipe spacing.

6. Pipe Naming Convention

a. Pipeline naming conventions include the 3-letter appendix to indicate if the pipeline wholly serves a pueblo San Ildefonso (_SAN), Pojoaque (_POJ), Nambe (_NAM), Tesuque(_TES) or Santa Fe County (_SFC) or if the purpose of the pipeline serves multiple entities then named (_RWA).

7. Metering

a. The stakeholders require special metering to allow the total water usage for each Pueblo to be determined, not included the non-tribal residents living within Pueblo boundaries. These non-tribal residents shall be individually metered, but the special metering system shall be designed to allow determination of Pueblo water usage without individually metering the Pueblo residents.

8. Ensure the system operation is not impeded by excluding, moving, or postponing installation of distribution lines.

1.08 ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION

A. Land Interests

1. Reclamation and Santa Fe County retain responsibility for obtaining land interests sufficient to construct the PBRWS. The contractor shall request necessary construction corridors from Reclamation, allowing six months for Reclamation to obtain private easements and access permission from the Pueblos. Land interests sufficient to construct will be obtained by Reclamation before Reclamation will issue a notice to proceed with construction.

a. Land interests include:

1) Areas needed to install pipeline and pipeline appurtenances, bore pits, fire hydrants, air valves, air vents and meter pits, etc.

2) Areas needed to restore, replace, and relocate existing features.

2. Contractor shall anticipate that there may be times when Pueblos temporarily restrict access to their lands with little notice.

3. Reclamation will transfer title of the PBRWS to the designated project stakeholders upon substantial completion of the entire PBRWS as directed by the Act, Section 611(h). In general, Reclamation will convey to: (1) each Pueblo, the portion of any Pueblo Water Facility that is located within the boundaries of the Pueblo; (2) the County, the County Distribution System; and (3) the Regional Water Authority, any remaining portions of the PBRWS. The entity receiving title to each project feature and pipeline segment is the “final owner”. The Act

01 11 00 - 15 and the Cost Sharing and System Integration Agreement describe how PBRWS costs will be allocated among the Federal government, the State of New Mexico and Santa Fe County. For the reasons stated in this paragraph, each project feature and each segment of transmission and distribution pipeline must have an associated and tracked cost and “final ownership” identifier.

B. Environmental Compliance

1. Reclamation will complete required environmental compliance activities before notice to proceed with construction is issued.

2. Is it assumed that notices to proceed will be issued sequentially, as sufficient land interests are acquired, and the environmental compliance activities are completed.

C. Cultural Resource Protection

1. Reclamation, Santa Fe County, and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices retain responsibility for monitoring and performing required cultural resource mitigation and treatment activities. Any unanticipated finds of cultural resources during construction, or unanticipated damages that occur to historic properties during construction will be handled in accordance with the Programmatic Agreement (PA) between Reclamation, the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office, and project stakeholders as described in Section 01 57 90 of this document.

2. Contractor retains:

a. responsibility for incorporating the treatment plans identified in the PA in their work plans and

b. liability for damages to historic properties and cultural resources that occur during construction as a result of not following the treatment plans and protection measures identified in the PA. Contractors shall anticipate discoveries of cultural artifacts during construction that will cause work delays at that site and be prepared to work at alternative locations.

D. Final Owner

1. The Final Owner is the Pojoaque Basin Regional Water Authority (RWA). Santa

Fe County is expected to act as Fiscal Agent for the RWA, upon completion of construction, acceptance and performance testing, commissioning, and the initial operations and maintenance period described in Section 01 86 46, which includes demonstration testing and operator training.

1.09 INFORMATIONAL REPORTS

A. The Pojoaque Basin RWS feasibility design report provides descriptions, drawings, quantity estimates, and cost estimates for the proposed project at a feasibility level, as defined by Reclamation’s design and cost estimating activities Directives and Standards.

B. Reclamation is providing the Feasibility Design Report as guidance only, data acquisition needs for 100% design are the responsibility of contractor. Some pipeline alignments, 01 11 00 - 16 storage tank, and pumping plant locations have not yet been finalized. Reclamation, the contractor, and the facilitator will work with the project stakeholders to finalize facility locations while minimizing adverse impacts to existing infrastructure and cultural resources.

1. Sites and alignments must be approved by the Pueblos.

2. Additional data would need to be collected to develop 100% designs.

3. Feasibility assumptions would need to be verified and confirmed

C. In 2019, the project baseline was redefined to better fit within funding constraints. The resulting 611g Agreement and Consensus Design Concept provide additional guidance to understand stakeholders’ preferences and design intent.

D. In 2016 an Asset Inventory Report was completed which shows all utilities at that time to the Quality D Level for the entire project area.

1.10 SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

A. Imperative statements in these specifications are Contractor requirements, unless otherwise stated

B. Where specifications are written in streamlined form, words “shall be” are included by inference where a colon (:) is used within sentence or phrase.
