Interceptor Pipeline Rehabilitation Design
I. BACKGROUND
East Bay Municipal Utility District (District) operates and maintains approximately 29 miles of
large diameter interceptor pipeline in the East Bay. These reinforced concrete interceptors
were built in the early 1950’s and convey wastewater from nine Bay Area cities by gravity to
the Main Wastewater Treatment Plant. The interceptors are showing signs of internal
corrosion due to hydrogen sulfide. In 2022, the District issued three emergencies to repair two
sinkholes and three pipe segments with severely degraded pipe walls.
Several recently inspected interceptor assets were found to be in poor condition and in need
of rehabilitation. This RFP aims to address the condition of interceptor pipe segments and
maintenance holes (MHs) at three locations.
II. SCOPE OF WORK
A. GENERAL
East Bay Municipal Utility District intends to award contract(s) to up to two Proposers to
provide design and engineering services during construction (ESDC) for rehabilitation of two
interceptor segments and relocation (or rehabilitation) of one segment. Proposers should
select the project(s) they are submitting a proposal on by filling out the Proposal Form in
Exhibit A. The District will select the best Proposers and the distribution of project scope. The
District’s preference is to award the SD-453 Alameda Interceptor Rehabilitation project to one
Proposer and the SD-456 South Interceptor Rehabilitation project to a second proposer. The
basis of design/predesign (BOD) scope for the SD-458 North Interceptor project may be
awarded to a third proposer, included as an optional scope item on the SD-453 Alameda or
SD-456 South Interceptor contracts, or awarded on an as-needed basis depending on interest,
qualifications, and proposed teams. The exact structure of the contracts will depend on the
proposals received, interest of firms, and qualifications.
Refer to Exhibit G, Scope of Work, for sample scope of work for each interceptor segment
(project). Refer to Table 1 for a summary of the anticipated scope and Table 2 for anticipated
construction costs and deliverables.
