About this file
Addendum No. 1 is issued by the City of Loveland for the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Capacity Improvements Professional Engineering Services RFP (Bid No. 2024-034). The addendum addresses four key questions from potential submitters, clarifying details about the solicitation. Specifically, the document confirms that materials testing is not part of this RFQ and will be addressed in a separate solicitation in mid-2025, provides guidance on font size requirements for proposals (allowing smaller fonts for graphics and tables if readable), and outlines the selection process. The selection will be based on an Excel-based scoresheet with weighted scoring categories, with the potential for interviews if two firms share the highest score.
The document indicates that cost/fee development is not part of the scoring criteria and will be negotiated with the selected firm during the scoping and contracting phase. An attached sign-in sheet from the facility tour on 3/21/2024 provides contact information for 15 representatives from various engineering and consulting firms who attended the site visit, including companies like Burns & McDonnell, Jacobs, and Engineering Analytics. The City Project Manager, Brian Gandy, is listed as the point of contact for any additional questions about the RFP.

ADDENDUM NO. 1
DATE: March 29, 2024
TO: All Potential Submitters
FROM: City of Loveland
RE: Questions Related to RFP for Professional Engineering Services – COL BID NO. 2024-034
The following clarifications/revisions shall be incorporated into the RFP for Professional Engineering
Services as part of the City of Loveland’s Water Reclamation Facility Capacity Improvements project.
1) Question: Does the subject solicitation include geotechnical and materials testing? If not, will there be a separate solicitation for these services?
Answer: Materials Testing is not part of this particular RFQ. We will specifically address materials testing and other construction related scope items in a future RFQ when we solicit for 3rd Party
Construction Management Services. That RFQ will come out mid-2025 next year.
2) Question: Page 9, item N of the RFQ states “Minimum font size shall be 11 point.” Can graphics and tables use a smaller font size?
Answer: Reduction of font size below 11-point specifically for graphics and tables is acceptable so long as it is still clearly readable without having to zoom in excess of 100% to view. If the graphic or table is to convey important information that is tied to a proposal requirement, I’d use caution in font reduction to ensure that the reviewer can easily and clearly read what is being presented.
3) Question: Will the City conduct interviews or request an estimated fee as part of the selection process?
Answer: Our selection process is comprised of an excel based spreadsheet / scoresheet and tabulates the weighted scores for each scoring category. The firm with the highest score, after taking all review committee scores into account would be the selected firm. If, however, the highest score is shared between two firms, then we do have the ability to bring those two firms in for an interview if the review committee is stalled and unable to identify a clear winner. Cost/fee development is not part of the scoring criteria and would be negotiated with the selected firm during the scoping and contracting phase.
4) Question: Can you provide a copy of the sign-in sheet from the facility tour?
Answer: A copy of the site visit attendance record is attached and incorporated into Addendum 1.
Please contact the City Project Manager, Brian Gandy at Brian.Gandy@cityofloveland.org with any questions.
