ABSTRACT
The Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) and the City of Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) are in process of developing a 350 MGD water transmission system known as the Integrated Pipeline Project (IPL). Considering various project conditions, a set of particularly risky tunnels was combined into the PL19TUN project—a component project of the overall IPL. To mitigate against these risks, the Owner’s Project Team (OPT) developed a unique procurement strategy consisting of prequalification, collaborative workshops, and a competitive sealed proposal (CSP) process which resulted in a refined project scope and the selection by best value ranking of a qualified contractor to construct the project. This paper will discuss project conditions, constructability reviews, the collaborative CSP procurement, and risk management for this interesting project.
