body
DEPARTMENT: Water Utilities
SUBMITTED BY: Darrell Blenniss, Director
BACKGROUND:
In 2022, Water Utilities completed a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 22-109) for consulting engineering services at SWRC. Four consultants were short-listed for a three-year term as a result of this process. The consultants are:
Black & Veatch
Carollo Engineers
CDM Smith
Donohue & Associates
The City of Naperville recently completed a Facilities Plan for Springbrook Water Reclamation Center (SWRC). The Facilities Plan identified a long-term plan for improvements to SWRC to comply with the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and anticipated future regulations, particularly related to nutrient removal.
In June 2022, the Water Utilities issued RFP 22-179, Springbrook Water Reclamation Center IEPA Regulatory Assistance, to retain the services of one of the shortlisted consultants to assist the City in obtaining a feasible compliance schedule from Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for certain plant improvements and expansions, as well as nutrient removal and other regulatory requirements, at Springbrook Water Reclamation Center (SWRC). In addition, the City’s NPDES permit for SWRC will expire on December 31, 2023, and this consultant will provide technical and permitting assistance to the City during the permit renewal process.
