DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On July 21, 2020, the Board approved contracts with five (5) firms to provide Utilities Engineering Design Support Services for the County. Under this agreement, Marion County Utilities (MCU) has assigned Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) to provide comprehensive engineering design services for the replacement of an existing 12-inch water main along SE Maricamp Road. The new main will consolidate and replace two aging water lines that have experienced frequent leaks. Additionally, the project will complete a loop in the water distribution system, thereby enhancing system reliability and operational efficiency in the area.
As part of the project, KHA will coordinate with survey and geotechnical subconsultants and provide quality assurance and control throughout the project design process. KHA will prepare design plans based on current utility locations and include all necessary technical specifications. The firm will also participate in design review meetings with MCU and the Office of the County Engineer (OCE) staff to ensure alignment throughout the process. The final design submittal will incorporate all necessary refinements, including vertical alignment and project-specific details. In addition, KHA will support MCU during the bidding phase by providing typical bidding assistance and engaging with prospective bidders as needed.
A copy of KHA’s proposal and scope of work is attached for review and will be included as backup documentation for the associated purchase order.
