Project Description:
The city's Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Master Plans are typically updated every five years. It is imperative to update the Master Plans on a regular basis to keep pace with the city's growth, changing land use demands and regulations. Work completed during the Master Planning process includes coordination with the city's General Plan to review development projections, forecast future water demands, wastewater treatment requirements, and long-range capital planning. In coordination with the city’s upcoming General Plan Update an update to the city’s Integrated Master Plan is proposed for FY 2025-26. As the city approaches build-out, future updates will be planned accordingly to capture any updates due to developments and/or regulation changes as well as growth that may impact the Capital Improvement Program. This planned update will coincide with the 10-year anniversary of the current Master Plan. The project is anticipated to start in early 2026 with a budget of $800,000 - $950,000.
The 2018 Water/Wastewater/Reclaimed Water Master Plan is available upon request. If interested, please email Katie Gaul.
Scope of Work:
This update to the city's Integrated Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Master Plan (Master Plan) will provide a comprehensive examination of the entire water, wastewater, and reclaimed water infrastructure and system—encompassing resources, quality, conveyance, distribution, collection, and treatment. The primary goal is to ensure resilient and efficient systems capable of meeting future demands and optimizing resource management through hydraulic modeling and analysis utilizing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) data. The Master Plan shall develop actionable strategies driven by operational triggers (e.g., flows and populations), decreased flow scenarios, identify and leverage excess capacity, explore wastewater diversion opportunities to the Airport Water Reclamation Facility (AWRF), and recommend viable projects for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) with costs.
The final Master Plan will be an integrated, multi-faceted document that is achievable, innovative, and compatible with the city's General Plan Update.

Project Description:
In 2002, the City of Chandler purchased 100 acres on the northwest corner of Val Vista Drive and Riggs Road for the development of a future community park (Mesquite Groves Park). In 2008, the Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center (5901 S. Hillcrest Dr.) was constructed on approximately 10 acres of the park site. With the population and development in southeast Chandler steadily increasing over the years, additional recreational facilities are needed in this area of the city. Additionally, the Parks Strategic Master Plan (2021) identified the development of Mesquite Groves Park as a high priority and was one of the most requested items in a survey of residents.
In 2009, the city developed a conceptual master plan for the site. In January 2024, City Council approved a professional services agreement with J2 Engineering & Environmental Design (J2) to review the existing master plan and update it to meet the current needs of the city. As with all City of Chandler park development/renovation projects, public meetings played an important role in assuring that the ideas, issues, and or concerns of Chandler citizens were heard and reflected in the updated 2025 Mesquite Groves Park Master Plan. In March 2025, City Council approved a design agreement with J2 to develop construction documents based off the revised master plan, which is ongoing. A Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) was advertised in April 2025, and Hunter Contracting Co. (Hunter) was selected. The pre-construction services agreement is on the 9/18/2025 City Council meeting agenda for review and approval.
The city is now seeking a consultant team that will provide construction management services for the Mesquite Groves Park project from the pre-construction phase through construction completion. The park improvements will consist of civil and roadway infrastructure, landscaping and irrigation, 4-acre lake, playgrounds, skate park and pump track, sports courts and fields, a maintenance building, restrooms, and shade structures. Construction is estimated to be completed in two-three phases; however, the overall construction schedule will be dependent on available budget and phasing determinations. The estimated construction cost for this project ranges from $30 to $90 Million.
Scope of Work:
The pre-construction services scope of work consists of attendance and participation at design review meetings, review of construction cost estimates, design plans, guaranteed maximum price proposals, and the anticipated construction schedule. The construction management scope of work includes but is not limited to attendance of weekly construction meetings, review, evaluation, and response to CPM schedules, Requests for Information (RFIs), shop drawing submittals, field directives, Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and contractor pay applications, as well as field inspections and associated services.
Coordination with the designer of record, the Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR), and key stakeholders will be critical to the success of this project.
Provide all Construction Management services to construct the improvements in accordance with the contract documents and city standards.
The scope of work will typically include the following services:
- Preconstruction Assistance
- Construction Management
- Lead Weekly Construction Meetings
- Evaluate CPM Schedules
- Review, evaluate, and respond to:
- RFI’s (Request for Information)
- Shop Drawing Submittals
- Field Directives
- Change Orders
- Contractor Payment Applications
- Prepare RFP’s (Requests for Proposal)
- Construction Inspection
- Provide Inspection and Special Inspections for Code Compliance
- Landscape and Irrigation Inspection Services
- Facilitate Project Closeout
- Utility Coordination
- Permitting Coordination
- Materials Testing and Quality Assurance
- MOPO Coordination
- Coordination with Stakeholders
- Public Outreach
The qualified Construction Management Team must demonstrate that it possesses the following capabilities:
- Experience in overseeing Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contracts
- Demonstrated experience in construction management of similar projects either in the public or private sectors
- Expertise in overseeing projects within a fixed, guaranteed maximum price, with either no change orders or only client requested changes
- Understanding of the dynamics of CMAR for unique construction operations that include coordinating with city operations and maintenance staff and phased construction
- Ability to facilitate collaboration and coordinate with multiple stakeholder requirements
- Demonstrated knowledge and enforcement of strict on-site safety and environmental standards.
