Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility (TMWRF) Existing Dewatering Building Evaluation and New Dewatering Building

Professional engineering consultant to assist the City in the evaluation of the existing dewatering building at TMWRF, and predesign services for a potential replacement dewatering building in the vicinity of the Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility. construction of a new dewatering building will require a geotechnical evaluation, site selection, building layout and logistics, civil and structural pre-design, dewatering equipment piloting and future equipment recommendations, and polymer testing. The evaluation of the existing building involves a design analysis and cost estimates to bring the building to the current seismic code(s), expanding the dewatered solids storage hoppers to the permitted flow capacity of the plant, and expanding process to include three total centrifuges and dewatered sludge pumps. A cost estimate will be prepared as an opinion of probable construction cost consistent with the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) guidelines for a class V cost estimate based on the selected pre-design option for the new building and a separate class V cost estimate will be prepared for the existing facility improvements. Based on the results of the evaluation and pre-design, the City may select the consultant for additional design services of the option selected by the City.
