Request for Proposals of Design-Build Entities for Design and Construction of a CNG Fueling Station in the City of Banning

The City of Banning invites design-build entities (DBEs) to design and construct a replacement CNG fueling station at the City's corporate yard located at 179 E. Lincoln Street. The existing facility, commissioned in 2004, has exceeded its useful life and serves the City's fleet of 9 buses and the Riverside County Transit Agency's fleet of 15 buses. The project site encompasses approximately 12,300 square feet within an 11-acre corporate yard.

The scope of work includes complete design, engineering, permitting, grading, construction, material supply, labor, testing, verification, procurement, commissioning, and installation of all equipment. The successful DBE will obtain all required permits and coordinate with utilities and regulatory agencies. Design components include a single tower dryer with manually activated regeneration, CNG compressor, coalescing filter assembly, priority/sequential control valve panel, 3-bank cascade storage, fast-fill dispenser, fuel management system, time-fill posts with separate meters for City and District operations, defueling panel, compressed air system, and station master control system. The project also includes demolition and construction of a new perimeter wall, grading, and paving to accommodate the new public dispensers.

Key deadlines include a pre-proposal meeting on June 15, 2023 at 5:00 PM, a questions and answers deadline of June 22, 2023 at 6:59 AM, and a proposal submission deadline of July 26, 2023 at 6:59 AM. The successful DBE must complete the facility design as approved by the applicable City approval body and comply with all conditions of approval, meeting specific equipment, finishes, and performance specifications established by the City. The final proposal will include the total cost for turn-key delivery of the entire project.
