Project No. 23151-100

1. Intent

The City of St. Petersburg (City) invites qualified firms to submit qualifications to provide Design-Build (DB) services at a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the design and construction of the scope items provided below for the Beach Dr and North Shore Dr NE Watermain Replacement (Project). The DB Firm shall have experience in residential and urban watermain replacement projects and in working with experienced design professionals specializing in the construction of watermains. The DB Firm should also have Civil 3D,Environmental Sensitive Index (ESI) mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) experience and capabilities.

The Project is located in the Old Northeast neighborhood of St. Petersburg, Florida along Beach Drive and North Shore Drive NE.

2. Scope

The DB Firm shall participate in the design process, perform construction cost estimating and constructability services, value engineering analysis, obtain permits, manage the schedule, and perform construction services and commissioning. All DB Firms must be licensed to practice as general contractors in the State of Florida pursuant to Chapter 489 Florida Statute by the submittal date for proposals.

The contract for DB services shall consist of a pre-construction services phase and a construction phase. The pre-construction services phase, for which the DB Firm will also be paid a fixed fee, will include value engineering, constructability analysis, estimating, and the development of a GMP at the completion of the design development during the pre-construction services phase and may include multiple GMPs dependent upon design components and construction sequencing. It may be possible to have multiple critical paths.

If the GMPs are accepted by City staff and approved by the City Council, the construction services phase will be authorized following the execution of the agreement for construction phase services. In all aspects of the contract, the DB Firm serves as the single point of responsibility for the successful performance of the pre-construction and construction of the project and shall publicly bid trade contracts. The self-performed work shall be competitively bid along with the subcontractors in accordance with the contract.

Comprehensive pre-construction and construction service phases for the replacement of the selected water mains in the Old Northeast Neighborhood include:

Section 1: The 6" cast iron watermain that begins at 5th Avenue NE and Beach Drive NE, and continues north to Coffee Pot Boulevard NE from Coffee Pot Boulevard. The watermain then continues east until Elm Street NE (Figure No.1).

Section 2: Multiple pipes that run along North Shore Boulevard NE from 7th Avenue NE north to 18th Avenue NE, and the corresponding Avenues that connect Beach Drive NE to

3. Background

The Old Northeast neighborhood is supplied by water through a network of mostly cast iron and galvanized piping installed during the 1950s and 1960s. Due to outdated pipe materials and a corrosive environment, the pipes have reached the end of their anticipated useful life and will need to be replaced. In addition to interruption of water service, road surface damage, and other financial liabilities, the watermains are a significant contributor to water loss due to leaks and an increase in flushing to maintain water quality. The City has been replacing pipes under the Galvanized and Unlined Pipe Elimination Program. This project will address the replacement of approximately 14,000 linear feet of 2-inch to 8-inch, polyvinyl, cast iron, and galvanized watermains in the Old Northeast neighborhood.

4. City’s Objectives

The City’s objectives for delivery of the Project are as follows:

4.1 DB Firm

This document provides the criteria for the design and construction of approximately 14,000 linear feet of multiple non-contiguous watermain replacement projects (Figure 1) required for select distribution watermains. Services shall include project coordination, SUE, preliminary engineering, 60%, 90%, and 100% plans submittals (with specifications provided at the 90% and 100% submittals), permitting, maintenance of traffic plans, construction cost estimating for each submittal, project scheduling, public involvement, and communication. To maintain the anticipated accelerated schedule, development and preparation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal based on 60% construction plans is desired.

The project should consider the principles of Complete Streets as an element of surface restoration, where applicable, per the City’s Complete Streets Implementation Policy. Surface restoration efforts should additionally incorporate applicable plans and regulations specific to the project area such as historic designations, plaza parkway requirements, etc. Continuous engagement with the public shall be considered as well as coordination efforts with planned and ongoing development within Old Northeast Neighborhood Association.

DB Firms must be licensed to practice as General Contractors and retain the services of a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Florida according to Chapter 489 Florida Statutes by the submittal date for proposals.

GMP shall be developed for review and approval by the City as well as the assignment of a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal.

Upon GMP acceptance by City staff and approval by the City Council, the construction services phase will be authorized following the execution of the agreement for construction phase services. In all aspects of the contract, the DB Firm shall serve the single point of responsibility for the successful performance of the pre-construction services and construction of the project

4.2 Operations

Maintain existing operation during construction and minimize service impacts to affected residences and businesses.
