Specifications include, but are not limited to: As part of the City’s long-term water management objectives of “fully” reusing water from the DCTWRP, the Project is being implemented to treat and supply water for potable reuse. The Project consists of an advanced water purification facility (AWPF) that will treat tertiary effluent from the DCTWRP to purified water suitable for groundwater replenishment via spreading. The treatment process for the proposed facility is comprised of ozonation, biologically activated carbon (BAC), and ultraviolet (UV) advance oxidation processes (AOP), with potential side stream treatment comprised of microfiltration (MF) and reverse osmosis (RO) treatment. The Project will result in purifying 25.0 million gallons per day (mgd) of DCTWRP influent. The Project also consists of the following: conversion of the existing chlorine disinfection system to either UV or ozone disinfection for the entire plant peak flow of 80 mgd; chemical systems; and electrical substation improvements. Related and enabling projects (not part of Project), which have the goal of being built prior to the Project construction, include the following: primary flow equalization; maintenance building and warehouse improvements; berm improvements; and an ozone demonstration project. The City’s objectives for delivery of the Project are as follows: Water Supply: Produce purified water for supply to LADWP to reduce potable water consumption. Provide a new groundwater supply source for LADWP. Quality: Provide treatment facilities and equipment that will be sustainable and will reliably produce required quantities of purified water in full compliance with Federal and State regulations and contractual standards for water quality. Cost: Obtain the most cost effective design and construction that will optimize the total ownership cost for the City. Schedule: Achieve the scheduled completion dates for design, construction, and performance testing of the Project. Operations and Maintenance: Optimize operating and maintenance requirements so that the facility is capable of reliably and continuously producing water in a cost-effective manner over the long-term. Provide DCTWRP staff with training and experience in the operations and maintenance (O&M) of advanced water purification facilities. Risk: Achieve an optimal balance of risk allocation between the City and the Contractor. Safety: Implement an effective safety program incorporating best industry practices. Accountability: Provide for Contractor to assume single point of accountability for performance of all services under the Design-Build Agreement. Collaboration: Provide for coordinated design development, with the Contractor eliciting City input in a manner that preserves Contractor’s sole responsibility for the achievement of Project performance objectives while meeting City objectives associated with cost, quality, aesthetics, and long-term operability.
