DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Fayetteville, Arkansas, seeks a consultant to provide water distribution master planning services. The study will include data collection through pressure logging during a critical high-demand season, with consideration of transient pressure surges, field flow testing, and hydraulic model calibration. The selected consultant will also discuss options for the city to purchase and install permanent or semi-permanent data collection devices rather than relying solely on temporary consultant-supplied equipment.

The work will include reviewing agency customer contracts and incorporating relevant contract requirements into the hydraulic model and resulting recommendations. The consultant must update and apply the hydraulic water model in accordance with established industry and engineering practices, including applicable American Water Works Association guidelines.

The consultant may recommend modifications to the proposed scope to improve project value, incorporate innovative technologies or methods, or add elements necessary for successful delivery. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for October 6, 2026.
