Howard County, Maryland (the "County") desires to secure the services of a qualified engineering consultant firm (the "Consultant") to provide design, bidding and construction phase engineering services for a new 2 MGD (ultimately 5 MGD) water pumping station to replace the existing 2 MGD Whiskey Bottom Road Water Pumping Station (see Appendix F for Location Map). Project is anticipated to include the design of approximately 3,500 linear feet of 16" water suction main and 2,100 linear feet of 12" water discharge main, plus approximately 200 linear feet of additional 12" water main to provide adequate looping. Existing SCADA system controls must be relocated to the new station.
The Consultant's scope of work is anticipated to include the preliminary and detailed design phases, assistance during the bidding phase and engineering construction services. During the preliminary phase, the Consultant will determine the size pumping station required and study options for the best location and site layouts of the new pumping station, the size and location of suction and discharge mains, and make recommendations to the County. In the detailed engineering design phase, the Consultant shall develop detailed plans and specifications and land acquisition documents for construction of the water pumping station and associated water pipelines in accordance with Howard County Standards and lead the County through the local, state and federal permit approval processes. Additionally, the Consultant shall provide geotechnical, environmental and surveying services as needed to complete the aforementioned tasks. The Consultant shall assist the County during the bidding process and provide shop drawing review and on-call design consultation services during construction and as-built drawing preparation after construction.
