BACKGROUND
The Bois d’Arc Lake (BDL) system consists of the BDL Raw Water Pump Station (RWPS), the Leonard Water Treatment Plant (WTP), the Leonard WTP Terminal Storage Reservoir (TSR), and the Leonard WTP High Service Pump Station - North (HSPS-N) and High Service Pump Station - South (HSPS-S). The program adopted a phased approach for design and construction to achieve the ultimate planned capacity of the associated facilities. Currently, the Phase II construction of the RWPS, TSR, Leonard WTP, and HSPS-N is ongoing.
Evaluation of the competitively sealed proposals for the new HSPS (HSPS-S) was recently completed and the process of construction contract award is underway. This construction management and inspection services scope will provide continued outsourced construction management and inspection services, including project administration, contract administration, quality assurance, progress and schedule management through March 2028 for all four active construction projects including the recently bid HSPS-S project.
PROJECT PURPOSE
• Maintain documentation and reporting to the District Staff of issues and status relating to the construction progress.
• Provide inspection support, in coordination with assigned District Inspection personnel, for the multiple construction projects to ensure quality assurance and adherence to the contract documents.
• Communication and coordination support during construction with NTMWD, Engineers of Record and General Contractors.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
• Administer and manage the day-to-day requirements of the Projects in regular coordination with the District Program Manager (PM) and in-house Inspectors.
• Serve as primary contact with the General Contractor with primary responsibility for construction contract administration.
• Provide direction and manage the efforts of inspectors.
• Coordinate with the District PM on issues that impact ongoing operations.
• Monitor construction activities for conformance with contract, schedule, cost and quality assurance.
SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION SERVICES
• Provide third-party inspectors to supplement NTMWD Inspectors.
• Work alongside and in coordination with NTMWD Inspectors to enforce Contract documents during construction activity.
• Provide daily status of schedule and field issues by preparing Daily Field Reports and photos.
• Participate in ongoing communications with the General Contractors.
• Coordinate with the project team in processing requests for information, submittals, clarification of the plans, processing of claims and substantial completion walkthroughs.
This construction management and inspection services extension is for 2 years (from April 2026 to March 2028). Ongoing needs of the District will be reassessed for possible extension. Attached is a table summarizing the third-party additional construction management and inspection services fee.
