Recovery Capacity Study SOQ

Tender summary

The Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD), is soliciting sealed Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for Recovery Capacity Study. SOQs will be received on or before the day and time stated on the cover sheet. CAWCD desires to enter into a contract with a professional engineering consulting firm (Consultant) to study and evaluate recovery projects in the three Active Management Areas (AMA) to develop direct recovery facilities with a total capacity of 100,000 acre-feet per year. The desired result of these studies is a better understanding of possible recovery infrastructure projects to pump long-term storage credits for introduction into the CAP aqueduct. The effort to complete this work is expected to be considerable with specialists required in the areas of civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering; hydraulics, survey, and estimating. CAWCD will supply existing information on CAWCD owned recharge facilities as necessary, however an extensive amount of field work and meeting/phone conferences with CAWCD personnel may be necessary. This is anticipated to be a multi-phase project with this being considered phase one. Additional phases may include exploratory well drilling or could lead directly into a construction phase for one or more facilities. A MANDATORY PRE-SOQ SUBMITTAL CONFERENCE will be held on June 17, 2026 at 9:00 AM at CAWCD Headquarters, and also available virtually via MS Teams. All prospective proposers are required to attend the pre-submittal conference. Attendance is a condition of participation in the solicitation and failure to attend will disqualify a submitted proposal. Failure to attend will not be grounds for protest or contract claim. Attendees must RSVP with Erin Reilly, Procurement Contract Administrator, at ereilly@cap-az.com no later than 4:00pm on June 16, 2026. Upon RSVP, confirmation with further instructions and link to virtual meeting will be provided. The purpose of this meeting will be to clarify the contents of this SOQ. CAWCD personnel will present background information on the recovery capacity analysis. Respondents will have an opportunity to ask questions. Any doubt as to the requirements of this SOQ, or any apparent omission or discrepancy should be presented to CAWCD at the Pre-Submittal meeting. CAWCD will then determine the appropriate action. If necessary, CAWCD will issue a written addendum to this SOQ. Oral statements or instructions shall not constitute an addendum to this SOQ.
