ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

 

The Thirteenth Street and Jefferson Avenue overflow reroute and intake removal project provides for the construction of a trunk sanitary sewer from Thirteenth Street and Jefferson Avenue to the WRA Westside interceptor in Prospect Park to eliminate the existing combined sewer overflow at Thirteenth Street and Jefferson Avenue, and to remove the storm water flow from the portion of the Westside trunk combined sewer subsystem that is upstream of the existing overflow.  This will include construction of several blocks of storm sewer to remove the remaining intakes from the sewer system upstream of the existing overflow.  This will separate the sewer system in this area and eliminate the combined sewer overflow in order to help meet the nine minimum requirements included in the current NPDES permit issued to the City of Des Moines in December of 2001.  These requirements are on file in the City Engineer’s Office.

 

City of Des Moines staff sent a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to sixteen consultants and posted the RFQ on the City of Des Moines website.  Eleven consultants submitted Statements of Qualifications.  A Selection Committee reviewed and evaluated the Statement of Qualifications that were submitted by the eleven consultants.  McClure Engineering Company was selected for this project.  The review and negotiation of the proposed Professional Services Agreement for the Thirteenth Street and Jefferson Avenue overflow reroute and intake removal project has been completed and total compensation to the consultant for this agreement totals $176,800.  A Separate Notice to Proceed will be issued for the Optional Right-of-Way and Construction Phase Services.
