Huntsville Town- 12" Transmission Line Design Services

Huntsville Town in Utah is seeking professional design services for a critical 12-inch transmission water line project involving approximately 3,600 linear feet of culinary water distribution system supply line. The project aims to replace a section of water line experiencing increasing failure rates due to seam failures and mechanical rock impact in rocky soil areas. Comprehensive design services are required, including topographic surveying, utility location, control survey, drainage and environmental analysis, and pipe alignment optimization. Deliverables must adhere to AASHTO, MUTCD, and APWA design standards and include electronic file collaboration, permanent benchmarks, topographic maps at 1:100 scale, and digital survey point files. The evaluation methodology will weight technical factors as follows: Transmittal Letter (5%), Work Plan and Project Approach (20%), Qualifications and Experience (30%), Key Personnel and Project Team (20%), and Unit Rate Evaluation (25%). Key submission deadlines include questions due by January 7, 2025 at 5 p.m., electronic proposals due January 12, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., and an anticipated notice of award on January 16, 2025. Pre-proposal site visits are strongly encouraged, with construction expected to commence April 15, 2026 and project completion anticipated in summer/fall 2026.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified engineering and design firms, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned. Proposers must comply with Utah's Status Verification System (E-verify) requirements and employment non-discrimination provisions. Proposals must not exceed 10 pages and must include a Respondent Questionnaire, Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement, and key personnel resumes. Cost proposals require detailed hourly rates for personnel, anticipated project work percentages, and expected reimbursable expenses. The cost evaluation will award 100% of cost points to the lowest proposed price, with other proposers receiving proportional points, and proposals exceeding double the lowest price receiving no points. Huntsville Town reserves significant procurement flexibility, including the right to reject all proposals, divide the project between candidates, or cancel the RFP. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive design services and anticipated construction timeline suggest a substantial infrastructure investment for the water transmission line project.
