Big Step Forward for the City of Winter Springs!
Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) RFQ Posted
The City of Winter Springs is now soliciting Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) services for the design and construction of two wastewater treatment facilities.
Project Overview:
- East (Phase I) WWTF – Existing facility with a 2.012 MGD (annual average daily flow).
- West (Phase II) WWTF – Existing facility with a 2.07 MGD (annual average daily flow).
Both facilities are dual-train contact stabilization domestic wastewater treatment plants, which include influent screening, aeration, secondary clarification, filtration, chlorination, and biosolid treatment. Effluent is currently disposed of through public access reuse.
The project aims to replace the existing treatment facilities and upgrade their treatment quality to meet current disposal standards, with future expansions in mind.
Key Considerations:
- The construction will take place while both facilities are operational 24/7, meeting all permit requirements.
- Ancillary facilities may also be added, including office space, labs, and storage.
Major Project Elements:
The Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for both the East and West WWTFs outlines the following major project elements:
- Influent lift station
- New headworks
- New secondary treatment system (biological nutrient removal, clarifiers, pumping systems)
- Waste activated sludge pumping and integration with existing systems
- Process aeration blowers and building
- New tertiary filtration system
- Chlorine disinfection system (including contact chamber, sodium hypochlorite storage)
- Effluent transfer and reclaimed water pumping systems
- Plant utility water pumping system
- Electrical feed and standby generation system
- Operations and administration buildings (East and West respectively)
- Site work, HVAC, plumbing, SCADA/I&C systems
Some existing facilities and infrastructure will be demolished as part of this project.
The East and West WWTFs will be designed with a unified, one-plant, two-site concept, standardizing elements to improve efficiency in construction, operation, and maintenance. A single set of specifications and one Computer-Aided Design Drafting (CADD) model will be developed and adapted for each site.
Current Status:
- The project is in the Preliminary Design Phase, managed by Carollo Engineers, Inc.
- The anticipated project schedule is as follows:
- CMAR Pre-Construction Services: December 2024
- Early Work Package: January 2025
- 60% GMP Design Package: June 2025
- 90% GMP Design Package: December 2025
- East Plant Construction Start: January 2026
- Substantial Completion (East Plant): January 2028
- Contract Award: December 2024
