BACKGROUND:

In August 2021, the Water Utilities issued Bid 21-275, Springbrook Water Reclamation Center 2021 Structural Repairs. The scope of this project includes constructing a new biosolids conveyor support structure, foundations, and pushwall; demolishing the existing conveyor supports and restoring the concrete paving; sealing of two existing knockout panels on the aeration tanks and repair of aeration tank expansion joint.

 

An additive alternate is included for the demolition and replacement of the concrete walkway at the aeration tanks and will be included in the total award due to favorable pricing received for the alternate.
