Qualification request for elevator station bypass and equipment construction project No. 28177 Flathead County Water District No. 1-Evergreen (the district), Flathead County, Montana requires an interest in providing professional engineering qualifications The company, team or consultant provides a sealed qualification package to provide planning, engineering design, preparation of construction drawings and specifications, bid assistance and construction for the development of the bypass pump facilities of the three elevation stations (#2, #15 and #19) in the school district Management services; and the heating equipment building located at the No. 19 elevator station. The school district invites qualified consultants to submit a qualification package based on the scope of work included in this qualification application (RFQ). The school district is not responsible for any oral instructions. Changes to this RFQ will be announced or can be found on the school district website: http://www.evergreenwaterdistrict.com/. The purpose of this document is to provide interested consultants with sufficient information to prepare and submit a Statement of Qualification (SOQ) for consideration by the school district. The school district reserves the right to reject any or all SOQs, waive any informal or irregular behavior in any SOQs received, and reserve the sole judgment on the merits of the corresponding SOQs received. The service provider will be selected based on the capabilities and qualifications demonstrated by the type of service required, after which the school district will negotiate a service agreement with the company it deems the most qualified. Project description and scope of work The school district currently operates a sewage collection system in the Evergreen community, which is divided into 25 separate collection areas. Each collection area is discharged to one of 25 lifting stations (step system), and then gradually pumped to the next downstream collection area until the wastewater reaches the final lifting station, which is Lifting Station 19 (LS#19). LS#19 is the main lifting station of the school district. It eventually pumps all wastewater from the school district to a 14-inch pipe, which is 22,010 feet long, and terminates in Kalispell’s wastewater treatment plan for treatment. A preliminary engineering report (PER) was prepared for the wastewater collection system in the area (completed in October 2021). The report evaluated the penetration and inflow of the entire collection system and evaluated the performance of all lifting stations in the system. situation. PER also evaluated alternatives to bypass pump facilities for three main lifting stations (including LS#2, LS#15 and LS#19). LS #2 was built in 1994 and is located west of Park Avenue and East Cottonwood Drive (127 feet), just off the north shoulder of East Cottonwood Drive. The station currently consists of a circular concrete wet well with a duplex submersible pump, a submersible pressure sensor, a spare low and high level floats, and a circular concrete valve library with a carbon filter. To ventilate the wet well. A backup emergency generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) provide backup power during a mains power outage. The existing control panels have not been upgraded since 1994, except for Allen Bradley PLC, which was installed by Industrial Process Controls, Inc. in 2006. The design rated capacity of LS#2 is 951 GPM. LS#15 was built in 1994 and is located in the southwest corner of the old Kmart parking lot. The station currently consists of a circular concrete wet well with a duplex submersible pump, a submersible pressure sensor, a spare low and high level floats, and a circular concrete valve library with a carbon filter. To ventilate the wet well. A backup emergency generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) provide backup power during a mains power outage. The existing control panels have not been upgraded since 1994, except for Allen Bradley PLC, which was installed by Industrial Process Controls, Inc. in 2006. The rated capacity of LS#15 is 842 GPM. LS#19 was built in 1994 and is located south of Subway, next to MT HWY No. 35 (1,260 feet) and just behind Snappy's. The station currently consists of a main wet/dry well configuration with three motors and pumps in the basement of the station. The control device of the station is located on the street level of the building. Wet wells use pressure sensors with spare low-level and high-level floats. A backup emergency generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) provide backup power during a mains power outage. The existing control panels have not been upgraded since 1994, except for Allen Bradley PLC, which was recently installed by Industrial Process Controls, Inc. The rated capacity of LS#19 is 1,160 GPM, and it operates with a single pump (minimum speed). The SCADA system of the school district continuously receives alarms, pump running time and flow data from LS#19. The warning is transmitted to school district personnel through radio telemetry through the SCADA system. Key project work includes the following projects: Develop new emergency bypass pumping stations for LS#2 and LS#15, including bypass pipes and accessories; portable bypass pumps, which can be deployed at any site, control, electrical modification, generators and Small field repairs.
