Brunswick County is requesting qualifications statements from qualified engineering, environmental, and water resource firms for engineering, design, and surveying services required to provide a comprehensive Water and Wastewater Integrated Master Plan (“Master Plan”) for Brunswick County. Services will include, but are not limited to, professional engineering, drafting, consulting, project management, and master planning/digital master planning. The primary goal of this Master Plan is to update, build upon, and integrate the separate Water and Wastewater master plans into one combined Integrated Master Plan, and to identify strategies to ensure the County’s water treatment, distribution, wastewater treatment, and collection systems can meet existing and future infrastructure requirements. The project is to develop a Master Plan that enables the County to strategically plan and budget for the future operation, maintenance, and capital improvements necessary to ensure that the County’s water supply, water treatment, distribution systems, wastewater treatment, and collection systems can meet all existing and future supply and infrastructure demands. This Master Plan shall provide long-range planning for a 20-year period. In addition, the project shall include working with the County’s potable water system hydraulic model, wastewater model, and GIS data to update and calibrate the model to reflect current conditions as well as future conditions, growth rates, and areas of anticipated concentrated growth. The Master Plan shall include a digital master plan that will be utilized by County staff as an interactive tool for review and planning considerations to facilitate changes that will occur from the time this Master Plan is developed. The final output will result in an Integrated Water and Wastewater Master Plan that accommodates anticipated growth, addresses peak demand conditions, identifies future water and wastewater system requirements for short-term, mid-term, and long-term growth, identifies and prioritizes system improvement projects over a 20-year period, and allows for interactivity from County staff to make real-time adjustments within a digital platform.
