body
BACKGROUND
Dudek was selected as part of a competitive, qualifications-based solicitation process to design Newport Beach Pump Station Pressurization Improvements, Project No. 5-68. At the time of the solicitation, the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) documented its intent to award a subsequent agreement to the design consultant for continuation of engineering services during construction.
This project will install a passive venting system at six pump stations within Newport Beach to relieve the buildup of pressure. The odorous air will be treated by adsorption media prior to being released into the atmosphere. Additionally, provisions will be added at the 15th Street Pump Station for a vendor-operated and maintained chemical feed system to mitigate the downstream generation of hydrogen sulfide in the Balboa Trunk Sewer.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
* Comply with California Government Code Section 4526 to engage the best qualified firm "on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications" and "negotiate fair and reasonable fees"
* Ensure the public's money is wisely spent
PROBLEM
This project requires the design consultant to provide as-needed services during construction including submittal review, responding to the Contractor's requests for information, reviewing construction change orders, participating in meetings, attending site visits, and preparing record drawings.
