Body
SUMMARY:
March 30, 2017, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 19-17) was issued seeking an engineering firm to update the City’s Wastewater Collection System (WWCS) Master Plan.
May 26, 2017, the RFQ Selection Committee consisting of five representatives from several city departments conducted interviews with four short listed engineering firms.
May 31, 2017, the RFQ Selection Committee selected Tetra Tech, Inc. to prepare the WWCS Master Plan.
The WWCS Master Plan will be used as an aid in determining current sanitary sewer rehabilitation and replacement needs as well as a road map for implementing future capital improvement upgrades, operational and maintenance improvements, compliance with future regulations, and to provide facilities that are efficient and economically feasible for the City and its residents.
A significant component of master planning efforts will be updating and calibrating the City WWCS hydraulic model to accurately reflect the behavior of the collection system during both wet weather and dry weather events. This model will be used to define capital improvement projects in the WWCS Master Plan, and as a continuing resource to confirm adequate infrastructure is available for future growth within the city.
