Request for Proposals

Professional Services for

Sanitary Sewer System Capacity Model, O.F. 1807.0

The City of Great Falls is seeking proposals from highly experienced professional Consulting firms to

compose a Sanitary Sewer System Capacity Model.

Sealed proposals must be received at City Engineering Office located at 1025 25th Ave NE, Great Falls,

MT 59404 by 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Thursday January 18, 2024. Proposals

received after the scheduled time and date will not be considered. All supporting materials and

documentation must be included with the proposal. The responsibility of timely delivery lies solely with

the Consultant. Faxed and E-Mailed proposals are not acceptable. The proposals will be ranked by a

selection committee, and interviews may be requested at the City’s discretion. A Pre-Proposal Conference

will be held on Tuesday December 19th at 11:00 AM in the Engineering Conference Room at 1025 25th

Ave NE, Great Falls, MT 59404. Attendance is highly encouraged.

The purpose of this project is to generate a master sanitary sewer hydraulic capacity model for the

City’s entire sanitary sewer collection system including all sanitary sewer mains and lift stations. The

City’s preference would be to utilize Autodesk Storm and Sewer Analysis (SSA); however the

Consultant shall compare alternative modeling programs and recommend modeling software best

suited for the City considering ease of use and cost. This hydraulic model shall be turn-key and contain

a GIS-compliant format that the City can access, maintain, and continue to operate and maintain in-

house. The Consultant shall build the model utilizing the City’s existing sanitary utility mapping data,

as-built drawing records, City’s sanitary sewer master plan, and Lidar data. It is expected that the

Consultant will need to acquire more data through research and field investigation. The Consultant is

to calibrate and validate the model while taking into account dry and wet weather conditions. The

Consultant shall provide training for City staff on the modeling software and the operation and

maintenance of the hydraulic model. A final report shall be delivered detailing the creation of the

hydraulic model and include: an evaluation of the existing system’s capacity, identification of system

capacity deficiencies, and model maintenance manuals and copies of all training materials.

Interested parties may pick up a formal RFP at the City of Great Falls, Public Works Department,

Engineering Division or by contacting the Project Manager:
