Johnson Pool Evaluation and Design

The City of Cheyenne, Wyoming, through its Community Recreation & Events Department's Aquatics Division, is seeking professional design and engineering services for the Johnson Pool Evaluation and Design project (RFP #8-24), located at 308 E 8th Street in Cheyenne. The project involves redesigning an existing 70-year-old pool that currently operates seasonally for approximately three months each summer, with goals of addressing significant concrete deterioration and potentially implementing a 'Zero-Entry' style design. Deliverables will include comprehensive design plans prepared using the latest engineering software, meeting EPA, OSHA, DEQ, Red Cross, ADA, and Board of Public Utility requirements, along with construction and bidding documents, contractor qualification criteria, cost estimates, and potential bid alternates. The proposal evaluation will utilize a weighted scoring methodology totaling 100 points, with points distributed across categories such as applicable experience (15 points), project approach (10 points), cost-saving innovations (10 points), technical expertise (10 points), and available resources (10 points). Key dates include a mandatory pre-proposal Zoom meeting on April 4, 2024, at 9:00 am, a question submission deadline of April 9, 2024, and a proposal submission deadline of April 25, 2024, at 3:00 pm, with the city anticipating selection of a firm by April 29, 2024, and aiming to complete the work by October 3, 2024.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does provide additional points for firms registered as Wyoming resident vendors. Proposers must confirm their proposal's validity for at least 120 days and submit both technical and cost proposals electronically through the city's eProcurement Portal in PDF format. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project involves designing improvements to an existing municipal pool facility with potential for future expansion, as indicated by an attached aerial project site limits document. The RFP allows for flexibility in site layout and final pool size, suggesting potential scalability of the project. Price proposals carry 20 points in the evaluation, with the lowest-cost proposal receiving the maximum 10 points and subsequent proposals receiving proportionally fewer points. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the available documents, the comprehensive nature of the design and evaluation project implies a significant municipal investment in modernizing the Johnson Pool infrastructure.
