Progressive Design-Build of the Rangeline Road Water Treatment Facility

Pursuant to the Port St. Lucie City Code of Ordinance 35.07, this electronic Request for Qualifications (RFQu) is being issued to establish a contract with a qualified proposer who will provide Progressive Design-Build of the Rangeline Road Water Treatment Facility to the City of Port St. Lucie (hereinafter, “City”) as further described in this RFQu.

The City of Port St. Lucie, Florida (“City”) is ranked as one of the fastest growing cities in the country. This sharp change in population has created an equally sharp increase in water supply demand. The Utility Systems Department (“USD”) Master Plan forecasts that current water treatment capacity will be insufficient by 2030. The South Florida Water Management District Upper East Coast Water Supply Plan update also lists Port St. Lucie as the only public supply system in the Upper East Coast Planning Area that cannot adequately meet its projected demands with its current facilities through 2045.

To address the sharp increase in water demand, the City is developing the Rangeline Water Treatment Plant (WTP). This facility will increase the city's water system capacity by 10 million gallons per day (MGD). The plant will utilize reverse osmosis (RO) for water purification, drawing its supply from six wells in the Southwest Wellfield, which tap into the Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA).
