Wastewater Treatment Plant Additional Clarifier Project Development Services

Wastewater Treatment Plant Additional Clarifier Project Development Services Board of Public Works and Safety Delphi, Indiana I. PROJECT INTRODUCTION In accordance with IC 5-23-5, the City of Delphi Board of Public Works and Safety (the Board) invites any and all qualified parties to submit Proposals including a Statement of Qualifications to collaborate during design development and construction drawing preparation, to develop, construct, operate, manage and maintain a clarifier tank and associated structures, piping, and other appurtenances, on behalf of the City of Delphi Board of Public Works and Safety. The Board intends to finance the project through a Bond Anticipation Note (BAN) that may be integrated into future financing of a larger project involving a State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan. Future phases may be added to the project at the discretion of the Board. II. PROJECT SCOPE The Delphi wastewater treatment plant includes two existing circular clarifiers used to separate solids from treatable effluent flow. The clarifiers directly contribute maintenance of wastewater quality prior to disinfection and final discharge to Deer Creek. The clarifiers cannot be taken out of service for extended periods for cleaning and maintenance under current conditions, which presents operational challenges to plant staff and limits the plant's treatment capabilities. The purpose of the project is to construct a new clarifier to provide redundancy. New return sludge and influent piping, flow splitting structures, and rerouting of certain portions of plant piping will be included. Electrical distribution will need to be modified to accommodate the new clarifier equipment. The project also includes improvements to the existing clarifiers. The existing ducking-type scum skimmers are to be removed, and new scum skimmers with associated equipment are to be retrofitted into the existing clarifier tanks. It is intended to construct the project during the 2023 construction season and be complete by the end of 2023. III.
