F-4. CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK CONTRACT TO HUNTER CONTRACTING COMPANY FOR BUCKEYE FLOOD RETARDING STRUCTURE #1 - PHASE 1 Award Contract FCD 2013C007, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Construction Services – Buckeye Flood Retarding Structure No.1 – Phase I to Hunter Contracting Company in a total contract amount of $7,114,914.71. The CMAR was procured under a qualification-based selection in accordance with Maricopa County Procurement Code, Article 5, Paragraph 504(F). 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 is a cost share participant in this Project under IGA FCD 2011A004 between the District and NRCS. To date, NRCS has obligated $4.0 million in federal funding for the Project with additional funding being requested. The subject contract implements Phase 1 of construction of the Project, which involves placing a central filter within a portion of the dam west of Johnson Dam and removing an existing irrigation outlet. Phase 2 of the Project construction will be accomplished under a separate contract. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisorial District 4. (C-69-14-027-5-00)
