Salt Lake City’s Department of Public Utilities seeks engineering services to integrate cogeneration and power distribution at its new Water Reclamation Facility. - Government buyer: Salt Lake City Corporation, Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU), SLC Public Utilities office. - Opportunity: Cogen Integration to New WRF, Project No. 524905444. The work upgrades power distribution by connecting the Maintenance and Operations, Cogeneration, Waste Activated Sludge Thickening (TWAS), Blower, Electrical, and Fan House buildings in a 13.8 kV loop to and from Switchgear 08-SWGR-99100. - Requested services: Pre-design; engineering design through final, bid-ready plans and specifications; bidding support; and construction-phase engineering, commissioning, closeout, and as-built documentation. - Pre-design deliverables include design criteria, third-party electrical coordination, permitting review and permits, an equipment pre-purchase assessment, a preliminary design report, utility-conflict and permitting matrices, and a cost estimate. - Design work includes surveying, calculations, feasibility and layout, utility coordination, conflict identification, staging and traffic-control plans, plans and specifications, cost estimates, quality-control and maintenance reviews, and responses to review comments. Final plans and specifications must be stamped and sealed by licensed engineers. - Cost estimates must include contingencies that decrease at successive design stages: 25% at 30%, 20% at 60%, and 10% at 90% design. - Bidding support includes the pre-bid meeting, document clarifications and addenda, bid-opening attendance, bid review, a bid abstract, and a recommendation for the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Construction support includes submittal and RFI reviews, field and change orders, commissioning, punch-list and substantial-completion documentation, as-builts, and closeout. - Named organization/vendor: SKM Engineering (identified as SKM in the attachment) prepared the existing-facilities electrical options report. It is not identified as a proposer or OEM. No product manufacturers, equipment quantities, or product part numbers are specified. - Additional requested document: The SLCWRF Existing Facilities Electrical Future Options, Revision 2 report is requested for planning and to support an RFP response; the form identifies locations as approximate. - Other important requirements: Proposals must include a technical response and a separate, itemized cost proposal in U.S. dollars. The technical response has a 10-page limit and an 11-point minimum font, excluding résumés, and must cover qualifications, relevant experience, approach and schedule, references, and cost. The Homeland Security form is used to request access to the existing electrical options analysis; access may be denied. - Performance timing: The anticipated work proceeds through pre-design, design, bidding, and construction. Contract start and end dates, total duration, and option years are not specified.
