RFQ for Contract 20-C-00015 -The City of Tampa Wastewater
Department desires to obtain Design-Build Services to complete the
rehabilitation of the Bayshore Pumping Station located at the
intersection of Bayshore Boulevard and Mason St.
Services will be provided under a contract with negotiated fixed fees
for assessment of rehabilitation needs, selection and evaluation of
design alternatives, final design, permitting, project management,
overhead, profit, and a guaranteed maximum price with appropriate
surety bonds. Services will also include, but not limited to,
engineering investigations, site planning, cost estimating,
advertising and administration of subcontracts, start-up, O&M
manuals, training, and all related work required for a complete
project.
Background: The Bayshore pumping station was originally placed
into service in 1955. Although the station has undergone
rehabilitations and improvements since the original construction,
several of the station’s components have reached the end of their
useful life. The station currently uses (2) pumps. These pumps are
controlled by variable frequency drives and are both rated at 5,300
GPM (200 hp). The station discharges through a force main
consisting of 24-inch pipe that connects with the 48-inch force main
that serves the San Carlos pumping station. This force main
discharges directly to the Howard F. Curren Wastewater Treatment
Plant.
The station rehabilitation shall include, but is not limited to the
following: replacement of all pumps, motors, pump discharge valves,
electrical and control components, flow meter, other equipment
needed to restore station reliability. Pump selection and pumping
strategy shall provide station capacity to meet peak wet weather
flows of 6,000 GPM (8.6 MGD), estimated future flows, and the
current daily flow requirements. The pump selection and pumping
strategy shall be designed to maximize energy efficiency using
variable speed control. The station is located in the median of
Bayshore Boulevard and is adjacent to residential areas. Bayshore
Boulevard runs along the shore line of Tampa Bay and is a
signature attraction for the City of Tampa. Specialized design and
construction approaches shall be developed to minimize and
mitigate disruption to the area during the rehabilitation and ensure
that wastewater flows are maintained through all phases of
construction. The design shall also blend the station with the
architectural features along the roadway while meeting the
regulatory requirements associated with the station’s location.
The scope of the design-build contract will include:
1. Assessment of equipment replacement needs
2. Development and analysis of alternatives for pumping
strategy, equipment selection and layout, construction sequencing,
methods to minimize disruption during construction, and associated
cost estimates
3. Complete design of selected alternative
4. Construction of selected alternative
5. Public Relationship activities needed to maintain a positive
response to the project from affected neighborhoods
Estimated Total Project Cost: $3,500,000.
Schedule: Design FY20 & FY21; Construction FY22.
