Summary
This Agreement commences the design development and pre-construction elements, considered Phase 1 of this design-build project. PCL will be responsible for a turnkey project to improve filtration and disinfection systems at the W.E. Dunn Water Reclamation Facility by incorporating a new cloth media filter and sodium hypochlorite disinfection system. Upon completion and successful startup of the new cloth media filters and sodium hypochlorite systems the existing systems will be demolished.
Body
Background Information:
This project consists of two (2) phases: Phase I includes the preliminary conceptual design development, diagrams, and specifications and is to begin August 2019 and be completed within three hundred and fifty (350) consecutive calendar days. The design and construction documents will be completed to a point where a “not to exceed” lump sum price for Phase 2 (construction phase) will be developed and brought before the Board of County Commissioners for consideration. Phase II is expected to begin September 2020 and is estimated to be completed within three hundred eighty (380) days.
In November of 2017, the engineering firm Black & Veatch completed an evaluation of the WEDWRF’s filtration and disinfection systems. The evaluation identified potential improvements and/or replacement of the existing filters and disinfection systems that could improve system performance and extend the useful life of the facility. As a result of the evaluation, it was recommended that the County replace the existing shallow bed sand filters with Aqua-Diamond cloth media filters. The evaluation also recommended to replace the gas chlorine system with a liquid bulk sodium hypochlorite system. The estimated price for the entire project is $7,900,000; the final construction price will be determined upon completion of Phase 2 negotiations.
Additionally, the filters and chlorine gas equipment have reached the end of their useful life and require replacement.
A Request for Qualifications to comply with CCNA per Florida Statute 287.055 was released on July 20, 2018; the negotiation and scoping process was concluded May 2019. The firms in order of ranking are attached on the ranking spreadsheet.
