SD-440 Remote Wastewater Facilities Improvements Project
I. STATEMENT OF WORK
A. SCOPE
It is the intent of these specifications, terms, and conditions to describe the professional
services needed for improvements to the East Bay Municipal Utility District’s (DISTRICT)
remote facilities under SD-440. Consultant services shall include engineering services for
pre-design, detailed design, bid period support, and engineering services during
construction in the following areas: architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, fire
protection, electrical, and instrumentation.
The DISTRICT’s remote facilities include three wet weather treatment facilities (WWF);
Oakport WWF, Point Isabel WWF, and San Antonio Creek WWF, and fifteen pump
stations. The WWFs provide additional storage and primary treatment, if needed, during
the fall and winter seasons when rain events can exceed the treatment capacity of the
DISTRICT’s Main Wastewater Treatment Plant. Various improvements are required
across different remote facilities, including but not limited to:
• Point Isabel Wet Weather Facility
• Oakport Wet Weather Facility
• San Antonio Creek Wet Weather Facility
• Pump Station B
• Pump Station G
• Pump Station R
• Galbraith Pump Station
The DISTRICT intends to award a contract to the Proposer who best meets the
DISTRICT’s requirements. Construction is anticipated to be phased and may require
separate construction document bid packages.
B. PROPOSER QUALIFICATIONS
1. Proposer Minimum Qualifications
a. Proposer, Proposer’s principal, or Proposer’s staff shall have been
regularly engaged in the business of providing architectural, civil,
mechanical, fire protection, structural, electrical and instrumentation
engineering design services for at least five (5) years. The Proposer shall
also have experience working on similar municipal wastewater facilities.
