Body
SUMMARY:
The Northeast Water Reclamation Facility (NEWRF) contains eight 75-foot-diameter secondary clarifiers divided into two trains (north and south; four clarifiers at each train). Within each train is a common channel and splitter box that distributes flow to each clarifier via four sluice gates. In late 2021, one of the sluice gates failed leaving it in the closed position and the concrete at another splitter box sluice gate experienced cracking and sloughing, making two clarifiers inoperable.
This project will provide engineering services for the rehabilitation of the two clarifier splitter boxes (north and south) at the City’s NEWRF. The services to be provided will generally include an evaluation of options for replacement of the sluice gates for all eight clarifiers, estimation of quantity of concrete repairs needed, development of design plans and technical specifications for concrete repairs and new sluice gates, and assistance with bidding services.
It is anticipated the design will be completed within five months from issuance of Notice to Proceed.
