    RFP-2022-36 – Design of Wastewater Treatment Plant Primary Clarifier Upgrade
    RFP ISSUE DATE:         September 9, 2022
    RFP CLOSING DATE:    October 5, 2022
    RFP CLOSING TIME:    14:00 Local Time

    Summary:
    The Summerland Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) primary clarifier is over 20 years old with critical parts reaching the end of their service life. The tank and equipment have not been properly maintained due to lack of redundancy and therefore the ability to access. Internal components are corroded and in need of maintenance. The primary clarifier has not been inspected or drained for maintenance since commissioning, therefore, a redundant primary clarifier with 100% capacity of maximum design flow is required to allow proper maintenance of each clarifier. This Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is an invitation by the District of Summerland (the “District”) to prospective Proponents to submit non-binding Proposals for the provision of a tender-ready design for a redundant primary clarifier. 

    This will include determination of the most efficient pipe, design with the ability to run both primaries concurrently, update of the automation and controls, design of an inlet valve, cap and remove the damaged bypass piping through the sludge vault, and design considerations for double block and bleed valving. The Proponent will also assess and provide direction on the most beneficial utilization of the primary clarifier when it is empty and not in service. See Primary Clarifier recommended location in the Summerland WWTP Facility Plan. 
    The Supplier will assess the existing infrastructure, work with staff to determine the best approach and location, and provide a comprehensive, tender-ready design. The Supplier will be responsible for scheduling and running all regular meetings, requesting required background information from staff, and completing a final document by December 12, 2022. 
     Optionally, at the discretion of the District, the Supplier may also be engaged for the following services for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Primary Clarifier Upgrade project:
    • Design of Odour Management System (fixed fee)
      • Assessment of capacity issues and design of odour management system which now receives foul air flows from the old headworks building, the centrifuge dewatering system, and the new headworks building.
    • Lead Site Visit for Construction Tender (fixed fee)
    • Tender Analysis (hourly):
      • Review submitted Tender(s) to confirm recommendation of award.
    • Project management and contract administration services (hourly)
    • Site inspection services (hourly)

    The RFP document sets out:
    1. The details of the System and Services that the District is seeking, as further described in Section 2 - Deliverables;
    2. The process for submission, evaluation and award of the Agreement;
    3. The proposed terms and conditions of the Agreement; and
    4. The forms on which a Proponent should submit in their Proposal.
