The procurement includes Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program provisions, which apply to contracts with estimated construction values of $100,000 or more. Only firms certified by the City of Tucson under Chapter 28, Article XIII of the Tucson Procurement Code are eligible to fulfill SBE goals, with specific requirements for subcontractor involvement and documentation. Contractors can meet SBE goals through prime contractor participation, subcontractor involvement, or supplier engagement, with specific percentage credits assigned based on the type of SBE involvement. The estimated total construction cost is $10,000,000, with the conceptual design suggesting a project cost of approximately $5.3 million and a contingency range between $1.6 million and $8 million. The recommended treatment approach involves a reverse osmosis-based treatment train featuring microfiltration/ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, ultraviolet advanced oxidation process, and optional granular activated carbon treatment. Potential cost savings of approximately $350,000 may be achieved if Tucson Water purchases major equipment directly, and the project includes pre-packaged treatment equipment such as pilot skids for various filtration and purification processes.
