I. GENERAL INFORMATION

The City of Prescott (hereinafter “City”) invites interested and qualified persons or firms

(hereinafter “firms”) to submit a written Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for Design Services

for the Effluent Tank, Pipeline, and SR89 Improvements Project.

Contracts shall be awarded on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications pursuant

to A.R.S. § 34-603. To be eligible for consideration, firms must submit a single SOQ

demonstrating appropriate competence, qualifications, and relevant experience.

The City will select a Firm through a two-step qualifications-based selection process. Firms will

submit an SOQ to be reviewed and evaluated by a Review Committee. A shortlist of three (3)

Firms, with the highest SOQ evaluations, will be invited to participate in a formal presentation and

interview process to establish a final ranking. The highest ranked Firm, after interviews, will be

invited by the City to negotiate a contract for design services

The project goal is to construct a new effluent delivery main, refurbish and/or replace an existing

effluent distribution main along State Route 89, between existing and new effluent storage

facilities, and wastewater facilities for centralization at the Airport Water Reclamation Facility

(AWRF). The project will also include roadway improvements, a traffic report to identify current

and future traffic impacts through the corridor, and a minimum of three (3) conceptual design plans

to address identified traffic concerns, from the Phippen Trail roundabout to the Willow Lake Road

roundabout.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Installation of a new effluent force main from Kieckhefer Ranch to Willow Lake Road to

deliver effluent from the AWRF to a new effluent storage tank near the intersection of

SR89 and Willow Lake Road on City owned land.

The existing effluent force main from Kieckhefer Ranch to Willow Lake Road shall be

evaluated, and based on the condition, a recommendation shall be made to either refurbish

or replace the pipe, in its entirety, to a wastewater gravity main as part of the centralization

process at the AWRF. Refurbishment may consist of slip-lining the existing 24-inch

effluent force main with an 18-inch HDPE carrier pipe to convert it to a gravity sewer main.

Project Limits - Existing Conditions:

• State Route 89 from Phippen Trail to Willow Lake Road.

Associated Project Studies:

• CYMPO Regional Transportation Plan

Adjacent Public Capital Improvement Projects:

• N/A

Adjacent Private Development Projects:

• N/A

Public Involvement:

The Engineer shall secure the services of a public relations consultant.

Upon completion of 15% Design Concept Plan Submittal, which includes alternate design

concept plans and a traffic report, there shall be a public comment period of no less than

sixty (60) days that includes at least two (2) City Council study sessions and two (2) public

hearings.

Upon completion of the 90% draft final plan submittal, there shall be a final public open

house to present the final project plans.

Contractor Procurement:

This project may use the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method. The

Engineer shall participate in the review, evaluation, and selection process of the CMAR.

B. PRIMARY TECHNICAL / ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES

Existing Utilities:

• Gravity Sewer Main

• Effluent Main

• Water Main

Utility Relocation Issues:

• Gravity sewer bypass pumping

• Effluent bypass pumping

• Interconnecting the new centralization gravity sewer main with the existing

gravity sewer main with minimal impact on operations

• Assessing the existing effluent force main condition to determine whether to

replace the existing effluent force main in its entirety, refurbish the existing

effluent force main and convert it to a wastewater gravity trunk main, possibly by

using a slip lining process and installing manholes, or refurbish the existing

effluent force main and transition it to an effluent main to carry effluent in the

reverse direction from the current effluent force main, from the airport back to the

City for customer use, possibly by using a slip lining process.

• Visual impact of new effluent tank

• Traffic control including keeping traffic open throughout the work zone.

• Hard-dig and rock excavation

• Overhead electric from the Phippen Trail roundabout to Willow Creek, at Old

SR89 Loop Road – South, at Boulder Creek Lane, from Kring Way to East Gate

Road, and from Canyon View Drive to the Willow Lake Road Roundabout.

• Willow Creek recharge intake structure

C. DESIGN

Roadway Design:

• The roadway design shall include public input per Resolution No. 2024-1876.

• The existing roadway varies in width throughout the corridor but is primarily

made up of two travel lanes, one southbound and one northbound. In the

narrowest quarter mile of the corridor there are two lanes with shoulders of

varying widths. The remainder of the existing corridor, north to Phippen Trail and
