Salisbury-Rowan Utilities (SRU) owns and operates the Town Creek Wastewater Treatment Train, a 5 MGD permitted facility adjacent to Interstate 85 in northern Rowan County. Town Creek pumps treated and chlorinated effluent to SRU’s Grants Creek Wastewater Treatment Train location where effluent from both treatment trains are combined prior to de-chlorination and discharge in the Yadkin River. Town Creek currently utilizes screw pumps operating in parallel to lift influent after preliminary treatment, as well as Return Activated Sludge (RAS) from secondary clarifiers, to the aeration basins for further treatment. SRU is seeking recommendations for the optimal approach to convert the existing effluent pump station to a combination influent/effluent pump station. Recommendations should consider operational impacts to the Town Creek Wastewater Treatment Train, both during the conversion process and after the completion of construction. The City of Salisbury/Salisbury-Rowan Utilities hereby requests qualified firms to submit Statements of Qualifications for design-build services related to this project.
