Farm Creek and Brookhouse Lane Pump Station Improvement Program

INTRODUCTION AND PROGRAM SUMMARY

The City of Gahanna (City) is requesting proposals from Engineering firms to provide professional

engineering services for the Sanitary Pump Station Improvements Program. The City’s objectives

are to improve reliability, provide backup power, enhance safety, and extend asset life while

meeting regulatory standards.

The services sought under this Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) include the phased

delivery of two pump station replacements or rehabilitation projects under one design program.

The Farm Creek Pump Station Project is budgeted for construction in 2027 followed by the

Brookhouse Lane Pump Station Project anticipated for construction in 2028. Both pump stations

have recent condition assessments included in Attachments C and D. The design work includes

verification of program and a Technical Memorandum (TM) including: data review, site

investigation, geotechnical investigation, environmental studies, hydraulic and hydrology

calculations, traffic studies, permitting plans, right-of-way acquisition plans, design and

construction schedule, engineering cost estimates, and ROI analysis of the two options provided.

The design team will meet with leadership and recommend the path forward to interested

stakeholders at the end of the program verification step and gain approval for the preferred

alternative.

For the approved alternative, detailed design drawings, specifications, and construction cost

estimates will be submitted to the City for review at 30%, 60%, 95%, and bid set completion. The

work also includes all required permit applications, approved permits, and local approvals from

City of Gahanna, and the City of Columbus. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and the design

team is required to identify all required permits as part of the program verification and obtain

the required permits during detailed design. The delivered projects shall be fully biddable and

constructable.

The following bidding services are required: attending pre-bid meetings, answering addenda,

and creating the conforms to contract plan sets and specifications.

A future modification will be required for engineering services during construction including;

RFIs, RFPs, Change Orders, record documents, commissioning, operation and maintenance

(O&M) manual, defining preventative maintenance, operations staff training, and SCADA

integration.

The team anticipates biweekly progress meetings throughout the detailed design process, along

with decision meetings with key stakeholders, City leadership, and public involvement meetings.

The Consultant is responsible for documenting the project progress with meeting minutes and

technical memoranda. Results from all deliverables will be provided to the City as PDF, in

addition to all accompanying native files (Word, excel, hydraulic model, CAD, etc.).

The operations staff would like to have above ground systems for safety and ease of

maintenance. The team performing the condition assessment provided information for above

ground and rehabilitation options which are included as Attachment C and D. Aesthetics, right-

of-way access, floodplain impacts, public comments and coordination, drainage easements, and

landscaping will all be necessary considerations for public acceptance and feasibility of the

proposed above ground pump stations. These projects will require early public outreach during

design. The consultant will recommend the preferred alternatives.

Additionally, the City would like this team to assist with researching available grants, completing

technical reports for grant applications and support design components of funding activities.

Consultant will look for opportunities to incorporate green infrastructure and sustainability practices

to the maximum extent practical.

Firms are required to submit their qualifications and proposed teams. No prices shall be included in

the statement of qualifications. If pricing is provided as part of the SOQ, then the SOQ will be deemed

invalid and rejected.

PROHIBITION ON CONTACT WITH CITY

To maintain a fair and impartial selection process for all, there shall be no contact or communication

made by any firm submitting on this project with any elected official, representative, or employee of

the City of Gahanna regarding this solicitation, unless otherwise specified herein.
