This is a Scope of Work document from the City of Chicago, Department of Water Management, soliciting services for the design and construction management of water infrastructure projects. The department seeks a design consultant and construction manager to provide comprehensive engineering and project management services for multiple water main replacement and rehabilitation projects across Chicago. The projects encompass water main extensions, replacements, and related infrastructure improvements throughout various city wards and districts. The solicitation requires respondents to submit qualifications and proposals detailing their experience, methodology, staffing plans, and project schedules. The contract term extends for an initial period with potential renewal options based on performance and project needs. Interested firms must demonstrate relevant experience with municipal water infrastructure projects, particularly those involving design in compliance with Chicago Department of Water Management standards and construction oversight capabilities.

The pricing structure requires consultants to provide cost proposals on a professional services basis, typically incorporating hourly rates for design personnel, lump sum fees for specific deliverables, and reimbursable expenses. The City of Chicago may apply small business, minority-owned business enterprise, and women-owned business enterprise set-asides depending on the specific project scope and funding source. Funding for these projects derives from the City of Chicago's water revenues and potentially grant funding from federal or state sources. The solicitation emphasizes the importance of local knowledge, familiarity with Chicago municipal regulations, and prior successful completion of similar projects within the city limits. Respondents should be prepared to provide references from previous municipal clients and demonstrate financial stability and adequate bonding capacity.
