F-5. REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR BUCKEYE FLOOD RETARDING STRUCTURE #1 - PHASE 1 Authorize the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District) 2011C009 to issue a Request for Qualifications for a qualified construction manager/general contractor to provide Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the Buckeye Flood Retarding Structure #1 – Phase I (Project) and award a Pre-Construction and a Construction Services contract to the successful respondent for a Project total not-to-exceed $5,000,000. This is a qualification-based selection in accordance with Maricopa County Procurement Code, Article 5, Paragraph 504(F) and Article IV of the Maricopa County Procedures Manual. Buckeye Flood Retarding Structure (FRS) No.1 is the westernmost of a series of three flood control dams designed and built by the Soil Conservation Service (now the Natural Resources Conservation Service, or NRCS) between 1973 and 1975. The dam is located along the southern slopes of the White Tank Mountains and parallels the north side of Interstate 10 for 7.1 miles west to the Hassayampa River. The dam is operated and maintained by the District and is regulated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR). Several non-emergency dam safety deficiencies have been identified at Buckeye FRS No.1. During the planning phase, which was completed in July 2009, the District identified overall rehabilitation as the selected alternative. NRCS has authorized federal assistance for this Project and the District anticipates entering future IGA’s with NRCS for Project cost-sharing. Phase 1 construction of the project involves placing a central filter within a portion of the dam west of Johnson Dam and removing an existing irrigation outlet. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisorial District 4. (C-69-11-069-3-00)
