Overview

As with most infrastructure projects, the Southern Seawater Desalination Project had unique features that needed to be incorporated into the RFP, for example, Water Corp used a two part alliance; a D&C Alliance and an Operations Alliance. Moreover, Water Corp used a progressive NOP selection process, selecting first the Operator and then collectively (the Operator and Water Corp) selecting the D&C Participants. This serves to highlight the complexity of many infrastructure projects and the need to tailor the RFP to the specific project.
