Town of Frisco Water - Materials Condition Assessment

The Town of Frisco, located in Colorado, is seeking a qualified consultant to perform a comprehensive Materials Condition Assessment of its water distribution system through a Request for Proposal (RFP) released on June 7, 2024. The project requires a detailed analysis of approximately 35 miles of water infrastructure, including 174,249.56 linear feet of water mains ranging from 2" to 12" in diameter, 594 main line valves, and 352 fire hydrants. The selected consultant will conduct a desktop analysis, field verification of five test pit locations, and create a detailed mapping and report focusing on infrastructure age, potential compromises, and recommended replacement schedules for a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan and 20-year Asset Management Program. Evaluation criteria will weight proposals based on 30% Qualifications and References, 30% Project Manager and Personnel, 20% Project Approach, and 20% Fee Schedule. Proposals are due by July 3, 2024, at 4:00 PM, with a proposed project kickoff on August 1st, a draft report submittal on December 3rd, and an estimated notice to proceed date of July 24th, 2024. The project includes an optional bid alternate for assessing the town's four water treatment facilities.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The water system, predominantly composed of Class 52 ductile iron pipe with the oldest main dating back to 1971, serves approximately 4,500 individuals through 2,200 water service taps. The town has approximately 95% of its GIS mapping and as-built documents available, utilizing an ESRI ArcGIS platform, and will provide access to existing inspection documents and water quality testing records through a Google Shared Drive. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project aims to provide a comprehensive assessment that can be scaled based on budget availability. The final report will break down each system within the water infrastructure, highlight areas of concern, and assign replacement phase recommendations with rough order of magnitude cost estimates based on current construction standard pricing. There is no indication of incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements beyond the existing municipal water infrastructure.
