Design Build Services (DBS) for Scott Candler Water Treatment Plant Demolition and New Clearwells and High Service Pump Station

The County of DeKalb, GA, is seeking design-build services for the Scott Candler Water Treatment Plant Demolition and New Clearwells and High Service Pump Station project. The project involves demolishing the existing old filter plant, constructing a new high service pump station, and adding two new 10 million gallons of Clearwell water storage, with space for an additional 20 million gallons in the future. The design-builder will be responsible for performing all surveys and reports needed for design and construction decisions, coordinating service tie-ins, preparing drawings and specifications, and obtaining necessary permits. The project will be completed in two phases: Phase 1 includes design and preconstruction services, and Phase 2 includes final design and construction services. Key considerations include minimizing life-cycle costs, achieving an optimal balance of risk allocation, and implementing an effective safety program. • The project requires experience in design, permitting, construction, and commissioning. • The design-builder must comply with all local, state, and federal regulations. • The project involves multiple stakeholders, including the County, designers, contractors, and subcontractors. • The design-builder must provide a detailed project schedule, including milestones and deadlines. • The project requires coordination with ongoing operations and maintenance staff. • The design-builder must provide a quality control plan and a construction safety program. • The project involves significant environmental considerations, including protecting existing infrastructure and minimizing risks during demolition and construction.
