Village of Valatie - RFQ for Water Filtration Engineering Services

The Village of Valatie is seeking Statements of Qualifications from qualified engineering firms for various engineering services in connection with the construction of a PFA treatment facility for their water system. These services will include but not be limited to final design, bidding, construction administration and construction inspection services. The Village of Valatie is located in the center of the Town of Kinderhook within the County of Columbia. The Village owns and operates its own water system and draws their water from a series of wells located adjacent to the Kinderhook Creek. New York State has identified the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances "PFA" contamination in drinking water and the Village has reported maximum contaminant levels "MCL" exceedance at one of its wells. The Village has been proactive in regards to PFAs and have actively been testing their wells and on many occasions one or more than exceeded the limits. Because of these exceedances, the Village will be undertaking the construction of a PFA treatment facility. Proposals are being sought for Engineering Services in connection with this project. Anticipated tasks include completion of final design, preparation of construction documents, bidding, award recommendation, construction administration and observation. Business enterprises awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years: A Preliminary Engineering Report entitled “Valatie PFAs Treatment Preliminary Report” was prepared by Weston & Sampson as part of a substantially similar procurement contract. However, the Village of Valatie terminated the agreement prior to the completion of the contracted services and is seeking a new engineering partner.
