The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in search of Candidates who have the necessary qualifications, as set forth in this RFQ, to be pre-qualified as a Barge System Supplier who can design, fabricate, deliver, and certify installation of a moored barge pumping system for inclusion in the forthcoming proposed Contract No. WD-2825 Alameda Creek Recapture Project (ACRP or Project) in Sunol, California. The primary goals of the ACRP are to recapture the water that would have otherwise been stored in Calaveras Reservoir due to the release and bypass of flows from Calaveras Dam and the Alameda Creek Diversion Dam (ACDD), respectively, to meet instream flow requirements, thereby maintaining the historical annual transfers from the Alameda Watershed system to the SFPUC regional water system; minimize impacts on water supply during drought, system maintenance, and in the event of water supply problems or transmission disruptions in the Hetch Hetchy system; maximize local watershed supplies; maximize the use of existing SFPUC facilities and infrastructure; and provide a sufficient flow to the Sunol Valley Water Treatment Plant to meet its minimum operating requirements.
The proposed ACRP consists of installing four 350-horsepower vertical turbine pumps on floating barges centrally located in a pond approximately 400 feet from the shore with a mooring system to secure the floating pump barges; four 700-foot-long 16-inch-diameter high density polyethylene flexible discharge pipelines extending from each vertical turbine pump to a new pipe manifold located on shore; a 100-foot-long 36-inch-diameter welded steel pipeline connection between the new pipe manifold and the existing pipeline; throttling valves and a flow meter; an electrical control building; an electrical transformer; power and fiber optic line poles and lines; and site restoration and paving. As relevant here, part of the project is to prepare engineering computations, design, drawings, fabricate, deliver, and certify installation and performance of a moored barge pumping system in a detention pond in the Sunol Valley.
A “Candidate” is any legal entity responding to this RFQ as a Barge System Supplier (BSS). Whether a Candidate has such qualifications will be determined through the evaluation process described in Section V of this RFQ. Candidates chosen through this process will be notified of their eligibility to be included in a Prime Contractor’s bid for the proposed Project. Only Qualified BSSs will be eligible to submit quotes to Prime Contractors to provide a Barge System consisting of barges, pumps, and mooring for the proposed ACRP. Candidates responding to this RFQ do so with the understanding that the SFPUC does not guarantee work as a result of pre-qualification. See also Environmental Status Section I.2. If, after completion of the environmental review process, the SFPUC approves the ACRP as proposed, the Qualified BSS would be required to supply its equipment, installation and startup services, required warranties, and a performance bond, under a subcontract to the Prime Contractor. In such an event, the Prime Contractor will pay the selected Qualified BSS for furnishing and certifying installation of a complete and operable barge pumping system under the proposed Contract No. WD-2825.
