PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Constructs a new Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) that includes a new primary and bypass headworks, a sludge removal drying system, clarifiers, tertiary treatment system, tertiary filtration system, pump stations and chlorination disinfection system. Constructs a treatment plant operations building. The facility will be a reinforced concrete masonry unit building with standing seam metal roof. The building will house a monitoring and control room, laboratory, pump maintenance area and an operator area. Facility-related control systems include cybersecurity features in accordance with current Department of Defense (DoD) criteria. This project will provide Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) features and comply with AT/FP regulations and physical security mitigation in accordance with DoD Minimum Anti-Terrorism Standards for Buildings. The AT/FP (inside) line-item includes standard force protection measures such as mass notification systems, emergency shutoffs for ventilation systems, laminated windows, blast resistant window and door frames, and emergency lighting and signage. Operations and maintenance support information (OMSI) is included in this project. DoD and DON principles for high performance and sustainable building requirements will be included in the design and construction of the project in accordance with federal laws and executive orders. Low impact development will be included in the design and construction of this project as appropriate. Site preparations include site clearing, excavation, grading and preparations for construction including fill and compaction of soils at existing treatment ponds. Paving and site improvements include grading, parking facilities, roadways, curbs, sidewalks, landscaping, signage and demolition of existing electrical, water, sewer utility lines and existing concrete pads to clear the site. Mechanical utilities include extension of sewer and treated wastewater piping and valves, potable water line extension, bar screens and repair of existing lift station. Environmental mitigation includes sampling, analysis, and soils reporting at the existing ponds for proper closure. This project demolishes inadequate utility Buildings to clear the site for this project. The tertiary wastewater treatment plan needs to be sited within the existing wastewater treatment plant footprint, which is located in the 100-year flood plain, in order to connect into the existing wastewater treatment system at the installation. The potential for a 100-year flood will be mitigated by the existing, robust stormwater collection system.
