    Wastewater Treatment Plant
    Although the existing wastewater treatment plant has been well maintained, some of the critical mechanical systems have been in use since the 1960s. Replacement and/or rehabilitation of some equipment is needed to maintain reliability. Localized problems with infiltration and inflow have been reported, most notably in the Old Town and north Florence areas. In addition, bypassing has occurred at the Ivy Street pump station during major flow events.

    Engineering services are required for planning, preliminary design, design, and construction related services. Specific task orders will be prepared that describe the work, include a complete scope of work, a limiting fee, and provide a schedule for the work.
    Task Order No. 1: 
    Facilities Plan
    $ 233,000
    Sewer Inspection (Task 3.5) $ 5,000
    (Note: see total estimate for Brown & Caldwell services for sewage treatment plant)
    Tasks No. 1 through 13 = 400 days

    Water Facilities Plan
    Rapid growth in Florence has caused peak water demand to exceed production capacity and has made it necessary to use emergency storage capacity and to purchase water from the Heceta Water District. The product of this project will be a facilities plan that will serve as a planning document for the city as it upgrades and expands the water utility to meet the needs of the service area over the next 20 years and beyond. 

    Engineering services are required for planning, design, and construction-related services. Specific task orders will be prepared that describe the work, include a complete scope of work, a limiting fee, and provide a schedule for the work.
