The SFPUC has reached a determination to reject all Applications submitted in response to the Request for Qualifications for Contract No. DB-128 and to cancel the Request for Qualifications.  The SFPUC expects to re-advertise Contract No. DB-128R, Bay Corridor Transmission and Distribution – Phase I, in the near future.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), a department of the City and County of San Francisco (the City), seeks to retain the services of a Design-Builder to provide design-build services for Contact No. DB-128 - Bay Corridor Transmission and Distribution – Phase I (the “Project”) located in San Francisco, CA.  Design-build services may include, but are not limited to, engineering, design, pre-construction planning, permitting, procurement of materials and equipment, construction/installation, and testing of electrical duct banks and conductors and design of a new transformer station. 

Design scope consists of two elements: (1) electrical duct banks, cables, conductors, and appurtenances; and (2) new transformer station.   Construction scope consists of all work associated with installing the electrical duct banks and cables/conductors in San Francisco and required restoration and improvements to public rights-of-way in accordance with San Francisco Public Works regulations and City Ordinances.

Whether a Candidate has such qualifications will be determined through the evaluation process described in Section 4.0 of the RFQ. Candidates chosen through this process (“Qualified Candidates”) will be notified of their eligibility to submit a bid in response to the Request For Bids (RFB) for necessary design-build services in conjunction with the Project. The requirements contained in this RFQ are subject to change and will be reflected in the RFB.

The SFPUC will select a Design-Builder upon the following two-step process: (1) this RFQ, by which the SFPUC seeks Candidates who meet the qualification criteria as set forth in the RFQ and whom the SFPUC will then invite to participate in step (2) RFB.

A written request for information will be considered timely only if the SFPUC receives it (designated for and delivered to Michael Hirai or sent to prequal@sfwater.org) no later than August 1, 2016 (with the exception of inquiries pertaining to requirements of the Contract Monitoring Division or the City’s contracting requirements).
