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.
