1. Background
1.1. Introduction This Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation by the Township of Asphodel-Norwood (Township) to Consulting Engineering Firms (Consultants) to provide Professional Engineering Services for the design and implementation of upgrades to the Norwood Drinking Water System (DWS) including watermain upgrades at the well/pumphouse/standpipe site, upgrades to the standpipe, and temporary pumping/piping systems to facilitate system upgrades without disrupting the supply of treated water to the distribution system. In addition to the water distribution system, the Norwood DWS includes three production wells, an 8.5m x 12m pumphouse (treatment facility), a 1,264m3 glass-fused to steel (GFS) standpipe and on-site watermains (including a chlorine contact pipe), all of which are located at the well/pumphouse/standpipe site at 12 Ridge Street, Norwood, Ontario. As per Figure 1, watermains at the well/pumphouse/standpipe site include the following:
Chlorine contact pipe (±21m of 600mm diameter PVC pipe) installed immediately outside the pumphouse.
Dedicated 200mm diameter watermain (standpipe feed) installed between the chlorine contact pipe and the standpipe.
Dedicated 250mm diameter watermain (distribution feed) from the standpipe to the distribution system (at Ridge Street) including a strap on flowmeter in an underground valve chamber.
As noted in Figure 1 the existing watermain valves ±15m east of the pumphouse (including the interconnecting valve between the watermains to/from the standpipe) and the valve on the standpipe discharge watermain are inoperable. The Norwood DWS has a permitted capacity of 1,965 m3/day (22.74 L/s) as per the current Municipal Drinking Water Licence (#133-101) and Drinking Water Works Permit (#133-201) for the system. Treatment includes the addition of orthophosphate for corrosion control and chlorination (using sodium hypochlorite) for primary and secondary disinfection. The treatment system also includes four stainless steel tanks with a total volume of 5m3, housed within the pumphouse, from which in-line booster pumps, equipped with VFDs (part of the aeration system previously used for corrosion control) deliver water to the distribution system (via the chlorine contact pipe and standpipe). The booster pumps currently operate intermittently to fill the standpipe. The pumps are ramped up or down with the VFD to match flows delivered by the well pumps. The submersible pumps installed in Well 1 and Well 2 are rated for 7.9 L/s at 61 m TDH and the submersible pump installed in Well 3 is rated for 7.6 L/s at 54m TDH. The well pumps are equipped with variable frequency drives which allow them to be used to pump to the stainless steel tanks in the pumphouse or directly to the distribution system (via the chlorine contact pipe and standpipe). It is noted that the Township is in the process of incorporating a fourth well into the system. The pumps currently operate intermittently to fill the standpipe.

Although the on-site watermains include the necessary valving to bypass the standpipe, the existing valves are currently inoperable and as such the standpipe currently cannot be bypassed or isolated for inspection and maintenance. The Township intends to replace the inoperable valves and/or provide additional valving to facilitate the required temporary pumping system and by-passing of the standpipe as needed for future maintenance activities Treated water storage for the system is currently provided by a 7.3m diameter x ±30m high (1,264 m3) glass-fused to steel (GFS) standpipe. Upgrades to the standpipe, as part of this assignment, are intended to include cleaning, interior inspection (in the dry), the provision of cathodic protection and the installation of a mixing system as part of this assignment. Distribution system pressure is controlled by the water level in the standpipe, which is maintained by intermittent operation of well pumps and treatment system. A strap on flow meter in a valve chamber adjacent to the pumphouse measures water flowing to the distribution system from the standpipe The Township intends to replace this existing flowmeter with a magnetic flowmeter as part of this assignment. Under normal system operation, the Norwood Drinking Water System operates as a gravity based (floating storage) system with distribution system pressure maintained by the water level in the standpipe and the fluctuating daily demand satisfied by the water stored in the standpipe. As part of this assignment the Consultant will be required to develop a detailed phasing/staging plan and temporary pumping/piping system to facilitate system improvements including upgrades to the existing standpipe. Proponents shall prepare a detailed technical proposal, including a detailed work plan for project implementation. In the technical proposal, the Consultant should identify all key project team members and demonstrate the ability to commit the necessary resources to complete the project. No fees or rates are to be indicated in the technical proposal.
1.2. Information Included with the Request for Proposal The following background information has been provided with this RFP to assist the Consultant in developing an understanding of the project requirements and in preparing their proposal:
a) Municipal Drinking Water Licence b) Drinking Water Works Permit c) As-Built Drawings d) Standpipe Inspection Report (2008) e) Standpipe Inspection Report (2018) f) Current CT Calculations
2. Project Objective This RFP was developed and is being issued by the Township to select a Consultant to provide professional engineering services to undertake the necessary works associated with the planning, design, and implementation of upgrades to the Norwood DWS. The following items detail, in general terms, the scope of work. Proponents are encouraged to suggest and identify alternate methods and tasks to achieve the Township’s objectives.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 13 of 21
For the purposes of the financial proposal, all fees including disbursements should exclude HST.
6.2.1. Costs for Design Phase Proponents should provide an estimate of fees to complete the design phase up to and including the tendering assistance of the assignment based on fully implementing the proponents identified scope of work and the requirements identified herein. This upset limit fee shall include all costs for labour and disbursements but exclude applicable taxes. The cost (upset limit) shall fairly represent the effort to be expended or may otherwise be means for disqualification of the proponent’s proposal. The Consultant will be responsible for coordinating and overseeing field investigations and reviewing results for incorporation into the design as required. These costs should be included in the upset limit fee for the design phase. Additional services, which the proponent may offer as value added extras, but are not otherwise considered part of the necessary work program, may be identified separately within the financial proposal (Form B) or the cover letter and should not be included in the upset limit fee.
6.2.2. Costs for Construction Phase The Township recognizes that the project is currently at a conceptual stage and is not sufficiently well defined for the development of a fixed price for professional engineering services during the construction contract administration and site inspection phase of the assignment. In order for the Township to evaluate costs for professional engineering services for the construction phase, proponents should provide hourly and per diem rates for key members of the project team that will implement future work phases. This information will be used to compare the consultant’s unit prices for directly comparable services and hourly rates for similarly qualified personnel. The consultant will be responsible for ensuring the hourly and per diem rates for staff identified herein, will be applicable at the time when the staff will be utilized based on the proponent’s proposed project schedule. For example, costs provided for inspection staff should reflect the fact the construction is likely to take place in 2020/2021. Hourly rates should be provided for key members of the project team, including but not limited to the following:
Site Inspector Contract Administrator Project Manager Design Manager CAD Support
Hourly rates for staff associated with the design, management and administration of the project should include all applicable payroll burden and markup as well as costs associated with information technologies and telecommunications.
Request for Proposal 2018-02 for Professional Engineering Services Required for the Upgrades to the Norwood Drinking Water System
______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 14 of 21
The Township does not expect to pay hourly rates for financial (accounting) staff or other employees of the proponent which are not identified as part of the project team or assigned to the project as these costs are considered to be included in the payroll burden of staff assigned to the project. Per Diem rates must include all costs associated with mileage, travel time, accommodation, meals and associated costs to allow the inspector to be “on-site” for nine (9) hours per day when required to attend the site. Proponents should allow printing and reproduction costs for document and drawing submissions for two hard copies of all submissions.
7. Additional Information and Requirements
7.1. Ownership of Documents Any data files, graphics, designs, drawings, plans, profiles, documentation (digital or hard copy) or property supplied/prepared by the Consultant pursuant to this assignment will be the exclusive property of the Township.
7.2. Confidentiality/Conflict of Interest All information and materials pertaining to this project are confidential and shall not be released without prior written approval of the Township. In its proposal, the Consultant must disclose to the Township any potential conflict of interest and shall identify any clients that it is currently working for which could put them in a potential conflict of interest position. The successful Consultant agrees that they will not place their firm in a conflict of interest position during the performance of this contract.

8.2. Disqualifications of Proposals The instructions and procedures set out in this RFP are to be followed by all proponents intending to submit a proposal for this assignment. By submitting a proposal, each proponent, expressly agrees to follow the instructions and procedures herein and be bound by and abide by the terms and conditions herein, including decisions of the Township. Failure to follow the instructions or procedures identified herein may, at the sole discretion of the Township, result in a proposal being disqualified.
8.3. Amendment of Withdrawal of Proposals A proponent that has already submitted a proposal may submit one (1) further revised proposal at any time up to the official closing time. The last proposal received shall supersede and invalidate all proposals previously submitted by that proponent. A proponent may withdraw its proposal at any time up to the official closing time, by submitting a letter bearing the signature of the signing authority of the firm and corporate seal as they appear in the proposal. The submission of such a letter will be under the same requirements as the proposal submission. E-mail, facsimile or telephone notification will not be considered an acceptable method of withdrawing a proposal.
9. Proposal Evaluation Process The evaluation of proposals will commence with the evaluation of the Technical Proposal (Part 1) of all proposals received. Only proposals that are deemed technically sound and technically comparable will proceed to the evaluation of Financial Proposals (Part 2). The Township reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to:
Reject a proposal where the upset limit or rates are noted in the Technical Proposal Reject a proposal where the proponent did not register as a plan taker. Reject a proposal which does not account for items or issues included in any addenda to the
RFP. Reject a proposal deemed not to be technically sound or technically comparable to other
proposals. Reject a proposal deemed not to be financially sound, whether the estimated cost of professional
engineering services are deemed unreasonably high or unrealistically low, or where the value exceeds the available budget.
Reject a proposal where costs or rates for future phases are not considered fair and reasonable. Reject a proposal that does not include acceptable terms whether technical or financial. Accept the proposal which is deemed to provide the highest value.
9.1. Technical Proposal Evaluation An evaluation committee, consisting of a minimum of two (2) Township staff members will independently review and rank each of the technical proposals. The individual scores from the reviewers will be
Request for Proposal 2018-02 for Professional Engineering Services Required for the Upgrades to the Norwood Drinking Water System
______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 17 of 21
averaged to determine the overall score for each of the technical proposals. The total available maximum score for the technical component of proposals will be 75 points. The evaluation criteria and weighting for the technical proposals will generally be in-line with the following:
Project Team (25 points) Project Understanding and Implementation (30 points) Experience and Qualifications (10 points) References (10 points)
Points will be awarded for each of the identified technical evaluation criteria on a stepped approach based on the reviewers ranking of each category (criteria). Reviewers will evaluate and score each of the categories (criteria) based on information provided within the proponents technical proposal submission. Reviewers will rank the proposals, with the 1st ranked proposal considered to best meet the individual criteria, in the opinion of the reviewer. Where considered to be equal, two or more proposals may receive the same rank for a category. Points will be determined by multiplying available points within a category by the appropriate percentages as follows:
Rank Percentage
1st 100
2nd 80
3rd 60
4th 40
5th 20
6th or lower 0
Where less than four (4) proposals are received, reviewers will score the proposals from 0 to the maximum points available in each category rather than using percentages. To facilitate the review process, proponents are encouraged to structure and organize their proposal submissions in a manner which is consistent with the evaluation criteria. The Township reserves the right to adjust the evaluation criteria or weighting to best suit the evaluation of proposals received. Where there are issues requiring clarification, the Township reserves the right to contact proponents to seek clarification and it will be incumbent upon the proponent to provide such clarification in a timely manner.
9.2. Financial Proposal Evaluation Upon completion of the review of technical proposals, the Township will proceed with review of financial proposals.
Request for Proposal 2018-02 for Professional Engineering Services Required for the Upgrades to the Norwood Drinking Water System
______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 18 of 21
The Financial Proposal (Part 2) of proposals that are not deemed “Technically Sound” and “Technically Comparable” to the highest ranked Technical Proposal (Part 1), based on review of the technical proposals, will not be opened. The Township reserves the right to open a single financial proposal, or open/compare financial proposals of what the reviewers consider technically comparable proposals. The total available maximum score for the financial component of proposals will be 25 points. The evaluation and weighting for financial proposals will generally be in-line with the following:
Total Upset Limit (25 points) Points will be awarded on a stepped approach based on the ranking of costs (fees) associated with the design phase and construction phase, with the lowest cost proposal being ranked 1st and subsequent higher costs (fees) ranked accordingly. Where considered to be equal due to no “significant” difference between costs, two or more proposals may receive the same rank for a category. The costs (fees) for the design and construction phases will be based on information provided within the proponent’s financial proposal submission. Points will be determined by multiplying available points within the financial categories by the appropriate percentages as follows:
Rank Percentage
1st 100
2nd 80
3rd 60
4th 40
5th 20
6th or lower 0 Proposals deemed to have unreasonable costs or hourly rates, whether the fees are deemed unreasonably high or unrealistically low, will not be considered. Where a mathematical error was made in the completion of Form B, the prices noted in the individual items will be considered correct and the Total Upset Limit will be changed accordingly. The corrected value of the Total Upset Limit will be used to compare and evaluate the financial proposal.
