Specifications include, but are not limited to: Three Forks Wastewater Treatment Plant As indicated by the enclosed permit application, Phase I size of the Three Forks facility is currently anticipated to be 10.5MGD, with a future ultimate capacity of 21MGD. However, due to rising costs and slowed growth, a reevaluation of the phases and sizing of the proposed facility may be necessary. Therefore, the selected firm must be familiar with and able to navigate TCEQ permitting policies, procedures, and practices. The selected firm must be able to assist the city with evaluating all aspects of the appropriateness of the plant sizing and phasing. While most of the City of Georgetown’s wastewater is generally of relatively high quality (primarily residential and light industrial, commercial, retail), many recent economic development opportunities have inquired about the possibility of enhanced wastewater treatment to accommodate higher BOD levels, metals, and other industrial contaminants. And while the city currently has no immediate intention of modifying our wastewater quality standards and industrial pretreatment requirements, we are interested in assessing possible enhanced treatment capabilities to potentially attract businesses that would be incentivized by such abilities. Furthermore, along the lines of enhanced treatment capabilities, the city is actively pursuing additional raw water resources that can ultimately be converted to potable water. A Reuse Master Plan is nearing completion (a DRAFT of which is attached for reference) that contemplates both indirect and direct potable reuse, including potentially Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR). While this RFQ is not directly seeking professional services related to any specific form of reuse or aquifer storage, a firm’s familiarity with those concepts and the ability to provide enhanced/tertiary treatment, or design the proposed wastewater treatment facility to easily be modified to accommodate such efforts in the future, will be beneficial. Funds are currently available in the FY24 Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan Budget for design, and the city is ready to enter into a contract for design services as soon as the TCEQ indicates that the requested permit application is preliminarily approved.
