2. BACKGROUND
Project Overview
Petaluma's. Water Recycling Facility is being developed under the followingprogram:
• Phase 1 — Project Report,
• Phase 2, — Project. Development
• Phase 3 — Construction and Start-up
Phase one concluded on December 11, 2000 with the City Council's acceptance of the
Project: Report: The City began work on Phase 2 Project Development m January2001 .
and completed approximately 50% design in. November 2002. The City completed a
Value Engineering Study in December 2002. Based on results of the VE S"tudy; the,'.City
commenced the Parcel A Feasibility Studyin January of 2003. On.August 18, 2003 City
Council zd'opted- a resolution for engineering services in support of.locating the new
Water Recycling Facility at 4100 Lakeville Highway (Parcel A). The design: of the' new
Water Recycling Facility will be. at 90% on May 30 2004 and the construction
management team is essential to commence biddability and constructabili'ty reviews.
Selection of Construction Manager
City Management,.conducted a rigorous selection process designed' to: identify the best - -.
qualified firm -for the transition (biddability and constructabilityreviews). from,Phase 2 to
Phase Iand management of Phase 3 Construction and Start-up. The projectteam
included, Michael. J. Ban, P. E. and Margaret P: Orr, P.E. To provide, abroad range of
experiences and perspectives, we expanded. the project team after the prescreening
interview phase to include Talyon Sortor, POE.- (Senior Engineer, Fairfield Suisun Sewer
District),, and Gordon Culp, P.E. (Principal', Smith Culp).
The City began pre-screening nine (9) possible construction management firms in
December 2003. After discussions with each potential construction management firm,
and'reference checks to various projects in the Bay Area, three firms were selected to
receive the Request for Proposal (RFP).
The City issued an RFP for Construction Management Servi
ices.'on March 29 2004 to:
HDR;Engineering, Dodson' Engineers, and The Covello Group. In response we received
proposals on April- 30 '2004 from:
• The Covello Group
® HDREngineering (teamed with Dodson Engineers)
Our Approach to assessing the proposers focused on three areas:
1. Proposal
0
PA
2' Reference Check_ s
3. Interview
Proposal
Both proposals were of a very high quality. We structured the RFP to facilitate review
and comparison ofthe proposals, including a description of the type of information to be
submitted how the proposals were to be organized, and a imit of 21 pages, excluding
appendices. Both pr oposalsimetthe'requirements of the RFP. Each team included
Construction Managers experienced in overseeing the construction of wastewater
treatment plants, as. requested by the City.
Reference, Checks
The City's RFP specifically requested information on projects similar to the water
recycling facility project completed by the proposed. personnel, including client name,
phone number, address dates when service was provided, and description of work. We
were able to complete twenty - one reference checks. The clients we reached regarded the
firms very-well. The Construction Manager for each of the proposers had at least one
client who was very effusive with their praise of the Construction Manager and went out
of their way to.convey-how pleased they were with the Construction Manager's
capabilities.
Interviews
The project team conducted interviews at the Petaluma Community Center on May 10,
2004. The interviews opened a 1,5- minute presentation by the team, followed by a
45- minute dialogue session. The project team carefullyprepared questions posed by the
project team during'the dialogu& portion of the interview in advance. We mixed proposer
specific questions with question&we posed to each of the proposers. Our questions
addressed construction ;management of wastewater `plants a situation involving conflict
resolution, quality assurance /quality control, safety, and public relations.
Evaluation
At the conclusion of the interviews, the project team discussed the. relative merits of the
proposers, and then rated them. The proj ect team evaluated the proposals based on the
following criteria: personnel, assigned to° the, project, inspection team capability, team
cohesion, management 'Systems, reference checks back -up within the'proposed team,
proposal, presentation, answers given during dialogue portion of the interview, cost and
cost /hour.
Recommendation
The project team unanimously recommends that the City Council select The Covello
Group forthe Construction Management Services. The project team's review determined
it
that The. Covello Group rated the highest and provides the following benefits t o the
project:
Benefit One: Extensive experience with construction management
service on water recycling facility projects
o The Union Sanitary District has utilized The Covello, Group for
construction. management services since 1993 to complete
$51,800,000 in upgrades to the dewatering building, mechanical
