The City of Platteville has a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that outlines needed infrastructure projects. The City seeks to have one firm selected as the primary “Engineer” to work with the City staff. The remaining portion of the 2024 - 2028 CIP has been accepted as a planning tool. Projects in 2025 - 2029 are subject to change or elimination based on the direction of the Common Council at the time of budgeting. These tasks may be in all areas of Municipal Engineering, including but not limited to: Water: The City currently has 3 wells, 2 above ground storage tanks and 1 ground storage reservoir and two pressure zones with a booster station to transfer water between the pressure zones. We produce about 1,000,000 gallons per day. The water plant currently uses a SCADA system to control pumping, treatment and distribution. All aspects of pumping, treatment and distribution repair, upgrade, planning, cost estimates and replacement of infrastructure will be considered. Wastewater: The City currently has 4 lift stations and gravity sewers ranging from 6” to 24”. Our Wastewater Treatment Plant is an advanced tertiary activated sludge treatment plant with a design of 2.05 million gallons per day and 3833 pounds per day of BOD. We currently average 1 million gallons per day with 2400 pounds of BOD. We have a SCADA system to control our processes. All aspects of wastewater collection and treatment, including SCADA shall be considered for tasks related to repair, upgrade, planning, cost estimates and replacement of infrastructure. Streets: The City currently has about 55 miles of local streets. In accordance with the priorities set forth in the CIP the City will need assistance with cost estimates, planning, design, etc., for the repair, upgrade and reconstruction of infrastructure. This will include all appurtenances, including but not limited to sidewalk, signage, striping, signals (if warranted) and overhead lighting.
