The City of Santa Fe Springs (AGENCY) is seeking qualified professional firms and individuals experienced with designing municipal water treatment projects, including but not limited to civil, chemical, electrical, geotechnical, hydraulic, instrumentation, mechanical, structural, architectural engineering, and design components.
This work is being performed in connection with an existing Water Well No. 2, located in Santa Fe Springs at 33.889154° North and 118.046994° West adjacent to Fire Station #3 Carmenita Road, Santa Fe Springs, California. The well was constructed in 1964 to a total depth of 1218 feet. A dynamic flow and chemistry profiling (Attachment 1) was prepared for the well on November 2021, results of which revealed high levels of arsenic in the water produced by the well.
The well is currently inactive and all equipment was removed from the site after the dynamic flow and chemistry profiling was conducted.
The AGENCY is soliciting proposals to:
- Prepare complete plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) to procure and install a temporary treatment facility to also include pump, motor, electrical panel, and other necessary equipment to bring the well into production; all of which is to be located within the well site to treat the water produced to within allowable levels. The treatment facility equipment will be leased by the AGENCY;
- Calculate the lease and operation’s cost to the agency for the first three years of operation, and prepare an analysis to demonstrate the annual savings to the AGENCY realized from reduced fees to MWD for the purchase of water under Water Well No. 2 operating conditions.
- Assist with a competitive bid process to select a contractor to procure and build the water treatment system. This includes coordinating and scheduling a contractor’s pre-bid meeting at the well site; preparation of bid addenda as required, answering contractor questions; and reviewing bids to evaluate conformance with the technical specifications.
It is the intent of the AGENCY to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with the Consultant for these services. The term of the Professional Services Agreement will be four (4) years.
