This is a design-build project manual for the Trilogy Reservoir and Booster Pump Station, issued by the City of Tacoma Public Utilities Department in Washington. The project encompasses the design and construction of a 3-4 million gallon above-ground reservoir to serve the 810 pressure zone and an approximately 3,000 gallon-per-minute below-ground booster pump station to serve the 950 pressure zone. The document outlines the design-build process requirements, including technical specifications, performance standards, and operational criteria for both facilities. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held to allow potential bidders to review project requirements and site conditions. Interested proposers were required to submit sealed bids by the specified deadline, with award anticipated following evaluation of responsive proposals against stated selection criteria.

The project involves significant infrastructure investment focused on water system capacity and pressure management for the designated service zones. Bidders must demonstrate relevant experience in similar water utility projects, including reservoir design, construction, and booster pump station installation. The design-build delivery method requires that selected contractors provide both design and construction services under a single contract, streamlining the project timeline. Technical proposals must address engineering design, construction methodology, quality assurance, schedule, and safety protocols. Pricing will be evaluated as part of the overall proposal, with the contract award contingent on demonstrated technical capability, cost competitiveness, and contractor qualifications to successfully execute this complex water infrastructure project.
