Laguna Water Distribution System

Added: Mar 10, 2015 5:09 pm This project is located on the Descanso Ranger District of the Cleveland National Forest. Work consists of the design and installation of a water distribution system, as follows: Electrical service, water treatment, pumping and delivery system, electrical control and remote monitoring system and the installation of a potable water tank, waterlines, electrical lines, a control system, road construction, and any other work necessary for the installation of a functioning potable water system.

This Design-Build process will have two distinct phases. Phase 1 will be the pre-qualification process, where the Government will select up to three to four  contractors on the basis of their qualifications and preliminary proposal(s). Only the selected contractors will then qualify for the Phase 2 process. In Phase 2 of the procurement procedure, Offerors will be given the opportunity to offer their preliminary design and/or technical approach and cost proposals.

Final selection and basis for award of the Design-Build contract will be qualifications, past experience, technical quality, price, and other salient factors considered to be the best value to the Government. The best value approach provides the opportunity to select an offeror who is not necessarily the lowest priced or the highest technically-ranked. If awarded the contract, the Offeror shall provide and complete all necessary and required design and contraction documents, and complete construction in compliance with these requirements.
