RFQ Design - Richardson Water Treatment Plant- Concentrate Treatment

As of August 3, 2022, this project is in the conceptual phase. An engineer has not been selected. Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, construction is not expected to start prior to July 2023. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) requests Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from consulting engineering firms associated with program management experience and a successful track record with treatment of per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) in groundwater, hydrogeology, familiarity with water distribution main design and NPDES requirements. The Richardson Water Treatment Plant (RWTP) is in Northern New Hanover County and treats groundwater obtained from the Castle Hayne and PeeDee Aquifers to produce about 7 million gallons of drinking water per day (mgd). The plant treats raw water using reverse osmosis (RO) skids. RO concentrate is discharged to the Intracoastal Waterway through a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. The purpose of this Request for Qualifications is to obtain submittals from qualified engineering firms to evaluate treatment solutions for removal of PFAS in the RO concentrate waste stream. The project will consist of piloting treatment solutions for PFAS removal, developing a preliminary engineering report, engineering design, permitting, and assistance with obtaining construction bids and awarding a contract to construct the project. Construction phase engineering services may be negotiated at a later date. Effective treatment solutions should include, but not limited to, granular activated carbon (GAC), ion exchange resins and/or high-pressure membrane systems treatment technologies. The selected firms will be notified by telephone and/or email. The CFPUA reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals. CFPUA will address questions regarding the RFQ until 2:00PM on July 19, 2022. Questions submitted after this time will not addressed. Any questions concerning this advertisement should be directed to Julia Faircloth, Procurement Manager, Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, at bids@cfpua.org by July 19, 2022, at 2:00pm. Notice to proceed September 1, 2022 The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time. *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources. The content management team continues to pursue additional details; however, the contact(s) listed have yet to disclose or confirm any information. Inquiries should be directed to the contact(s) listed. Awarded to : HDR-Wilmington, NC Start Date 09/01/2022
