The purpose of this contract is to allow the Water Utilities to retain services of outside engineering firms to complete a variety of future CIP projects including, but not limited to, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) permitting assistance, influent pump station improvements, south plant Grit and Return Activated Sludge (RAS) improvements, and north plant aeration improvements and tertiary filtration projects. Projects are ongoing at various stages. Per the RFQ document, for future projects, vendors will continuously be selected based upon qualifications and/or cost depending upon the complexity of projects.
