Body
SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater owns and operates the Northeast Water Reclamation Facility (NE WRF). This project will replace and upgrade Motor Control Center 1 (MCC-1), which controls the motors that operate the 2nd Anoxic Tank, in addition to the two switchgear distribution centers, DC-1 and DC-2, that transition power to a generator upon loss of utility power.
MCC-1 is housed in an outdoor fiberglass enclosure that is showing signs of age and is exposed to heating from the sun. DC-1 and DC-2 are more than 40 years old and have reached the end of their useful life. In addition to replacing the equipment, this project will evaluate technological advances that may be implemented to improve operation and maintenance efficiencies.
This project includes geotechnical and environmental assessments. The geotechnical investigation will evaluate localized subsidence in the area the equipment is currently housed to determine if structure stabilization is required or if a new location is recommended. The environmental investigation includes an asbestos and lead survey.
