About this file

This is Addendum No. 2 to a Request for Proposals issued by the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department for Utility Hydrogeologic Continuing Engineering Services (Project No. PBCWUD 26-027). The addendum addresses clarifications regarding CCNA Category 12.06 certification requirements, submission format specifications, and media options for proposal delivery. The category requires demonstrated experience in performing studies, design, and modeling of new wellfields for potable water development, specifically excluding rehabilitation of existing wellfields. Firms may submit proposals even if CCNA certification applications are pending at the proposal due date; however, final certification must be obtained prior to the Final Selection Committee meeting. Acceptable work examples under this category include groundwater modeling and mapping, aquifer pump test design and analysis, water use permitting, and preparation of groundwater and surface water monitoring plans.

Regarding submission requirements, the addendum confirms that nine original copies of proposals are required, with eight bound and one unbound copy as specified in the original advertisement. Certified electronic signatures are acceptable for proposal documents. Additionally, flash drives or USB devices are acceptable alternatives to CDs for electronic proposal submission. The addendum was dated June 16, 2026, and certified by Jane House, P.E., LEED AP, Director of Engineering for Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department.

ADDENDUM NO. 2

PALM BEACH COUNTY WATER UTILITIES DEPARTMENT

UTILITY HYDROGEOLOGIC CONTINUING ENGINEERING SERVICES

Project No. PBCWUD 26-027

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

Q1 – Would it be possible to get some clarification on CCNA Category 12.06 requirements?

Stantec has applied and got rejected because ” The projects need to show that they are finding new sources of potable water. Existing wellfields or aquifers are not new sources”, per the email below. I gave Holly a call to ask about “new water” and I was told that no companies would be able to be certified for this category as there are no “new water sources”, but 12.06 is a requirement for the Utility Hydrogeologic Continuing Services RFP.

A1 – Please see detail description of the CCNA Category 12.06. To elaborate on the description, the applicant has to demonstrate experience in performing studies, design, and/or modeling of a new wellfield for potable water, not rehabbing an existing wellfield. To streamline the CCNA approval process, please read the instructions and questions for the application carefully and submit a complete and detailed application. It is acceptable for proposal firms that have submitted their CCNA applications but have not yet received a confirmation of the certification at the proposal due date, to submit their proposals. The certification must be obtained prior to the Final Selection Committee meeting.

12.06 WATER RESOURCE EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT

This category of work involves the evaluation and development of surface and groundwater reservoirs in order to evaluate their potential for exploitation as a source of potable water.

Included in this category are studies performed to promote conservation and minimize pollution of the potable water supply.

Specific examples of work include:

• groundwater modeling and mapping

• aquifer pump test design and analysis

• water use permitting

• preparation of groundwater and surface water monitoring plans

Q2- All eight must be originals?

A2- A total of nine (9) original copies are required, eight (8) bounded and one (1) unbounded per advertisement. Certified electronic signatures are acceptable.

Q3- Is it possible to submit to submit a flash drive as opposed to a CD?

A3- Yes, a flash drive or USB is acceptable.
