STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 8/2016) PAGE 42 Request for Proposals Development and Wastewater Rate Study: E Sciences prepared a RFP for the design, construction and implementation of a wastewater treatment facility and collection system to serve North Plantation Key. E Sciences assisted the Village with securing a design/build team for Phase I North Plantation Key/North Plantation Key Colony Wastewater Treatment and Collection System. Staff members researched technical specifications and reviewed the Preliminary Design Report for North Plantation Key Colony/North Plantation Key Wastewater Collection System as well as the Monroe County Wastewater Master Plan to prepare the technical RFP for the Village. E Sciences attended several meetings including Village Council Meetings, meetings with Village staff and Water Quality Committee Meetings. Staff worked closely with the water quality committee to address the communities’ concerns in the RFP. E Sciences evaluated proposals submitted by bidders, ranked firms on technical merit and conducted interviews on behalf of the Village. We then shortlisted the bidders and conducted a second round of interviews to choose the Design/Builder. E Sciences assisted the Village in negotiations with the potential Design/Builder and helped to secure a Design/Build Agreement. Program Management / Plantation Key Wastewater Treatment Facility: E Sciences provided Engineering Support Services to the Village of Islamorada for the design and construction of the North Plantation Key (NPK) wastewater treatment facility and collection system. The NPK project entailed the construction of a 0.355 MGD-MMADF wastewater treatment facility using a membrane bioreactor activated sludge biological nutrient removal treatment process. The project also includes a vacuum collection system with eight miles of vacuum sewer piping and force main. Construction of a reclaimed water system with 3.5 miles of transmission main was also part of the project. Construction was accomplished through two design/build contracts. E Sciences’ role extended throughout the project. Our initial responsibilities included the preparation of technical Request for Proposals (RFPs) for the two phases of this project. During the most recent contractor selection process, E Sciences provided two engineers to participate in the selection committee. E Sciences negotiated with the contractor on behalf of the Village and also was a lead participant in ensuring that the Village was able to receive $6.5 million in grant funding by contributing technical ideas and research and project management services to ensure that ambitious grant-related milestones were met. E Sciences also supported the Village in the selection of the treatment plant operation and maintenance (O&M) contractor through the preparation of an RFP and participation in the selection committee. E Sciences acted as the Village’s Design Consultant during the design phase of each NPK project. In this role we performed detailed reviews of plans and specifications for compliance with the contract documents, industry standards, constructability, ease of maintenance and other issues important to our client. During the construction phase of each project we performed construction engineering and inspection services. This included reviewing shop drawings, attending and participating in progress meetings, performing site inspections, reviewing the contractor’s pay applications, evaluating change orders, oversight during the testing and acceptance phase, evaluating technical issues that arose during construction and offering solutions, and performing final inspections and developing punch lists. We also tracked the tasks required to transition from the construction phase to the operational phase and coordinated the construction and O&M contractors’ activities to ensure a smooth transition. Construction Engineering Services: E Sciences provided CEI and engineering support services for the NPK / NPK Colony Wastewater Treatment Facility and Collection System in Islamorada, Florida. E Sciences prepared the technical RFP for Phase I NPK Colony Wastewater Treatment Facility and Collection System and assisted the Village with securing a Design/Builder for the project. Staff served as the design consultant for the Village of Islamorada for this project. Responsibilities included plans and specifications review; shop drawing reviews; general CEI services, including on-site inspections; payment application processing; and interaction between the client and the Design/Builder. E Sciences conducted weekly site inspections and attended monthly progress meetings. These tasks also included negotiating a change order to expand the wastewater treatment facility from a 0.1 MGD-AADF facility to the current 0.25 MGD-AADF facility. E Sciences services included assistance with negotiations with regulatory agencies and permitting, CEI, RFP bid evaluation, biological survey, wetland delineation, and turbidity reports.
