No. 28151 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FLATHEAD COUNTY, MONTANA SEPTAGE TREATMENTAND BIOSOLIDS COMPOSTING FACILITY The Flathead City-County Board of Health (Board) is requesting interested persons/firms to submit their qualifications for providing engineering services for the Flathead County Septage Treatment and Biosolids Composting Facility. Such qualification statements are to be submitted, in writing and electronically to the Flathead County Board of Health at 1035 First Ave. West, Kalispell, Montana, 59901 and must be received no later than 5 P.M. on Nov 24, 2021. Electronic submissions shall be sent to the Health Officer. All responses will be reviewed by the Environmental Health Committee of the Board of Health. PROJECT BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, Flathead County has experienced rapid growth rates and as a result the land that is suitable and available for the disposal of septage has become very limited. The rapid growth in the Flathead Valley has also created a problem related to the disposal of municipal biosolids because of concerns related to the long-term viability of existing disposal methods or locations. The following are challenges that have been identified by the Board that has led to the necessity of this RFQ: 1. Land application of septage disposal is becoming increasingly difficult as agricultural land is developed for residential purposes. 2. Land disposal of septage provides very little treatment of a high strength waste. The probability of groundwater and surface water pollution from this source is significant. 3. The availability of municipal sludge disposal and treatment options continue to decrease. The commercial composting facility in Flathead County has limitations with regard to accepting the quantity of municipal sludge generated. 4. An abundant supply of compost is a high-quality soil amendment that may be used throughout Flathead County for residential and agricultural use. It is expected that the septage treatment and composting facility will be co-located. The type of septage treatment is integrally tied to location of the facility. It is anticipated that septage will be received, solid waste will be separated and the septage will be dewatered. It is also anticipated that the biosolid from the dewatering process will be composted and the remaining water (supernatant) treated to an acceptable level to be disposed on-site by either a surface or subsurface application or delivered to a municipal wastewater plant for treatment and final disposal. Proximity to a municipal treatment facility is an important factor in the final disposal of the treated water from this facility. SCOPE OF WORK: The proposed scope of work includes professional services related to the design, bidding, construction administration, and construction observation for a new Flathead County Septage Treatment and Biosolids Composting Facility. It is anticipated that the work will be completed in two phases as follows: Phase 1 (30% Design): The persons/firm selected will provide consultative and engineering services necessary to identify an appropriate site and provide initial design (approximately 30%) for a septage treatment and composting facility to serve Flathead County. This is a collaborative project between Flathead County, the three municipalities (Kalispell, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls), and some or all of the county water and sewer districts. It is anticipated that the Phase 1 services will specifically include the following items: 1. Alternative analysis and selection of the septage treatment and biosolids composting processes. 2. Development of sizing design criteria for all major treatment processes. 3. Identification of potential sites to locate the facility and development of a recommended alternative. 4. Development of a final site plan for the recommended facility. 5. Development of a detailed project cost estimate based on the recommended treatment processes and recommended site. 6. Development of a financial evaluation and business plan based on estimated costs and fees. 7. Assistance with land acquisition. 8. Coordination with Flathead County, the three municipalities, and water and sewer Districts within the County. 9. Development of Preliminary Design Report and 30% set of construction drawings. 10. Funding assistance and grant administration, if needed At the sole discretion of Flathead County, the consultant selected for Phase 1 may be retained to provide professional services for Phase 2, which includes the following scope of work. Phase 2 (Final Design, Bidding, Construction Administration, and Project Closeout): The Phase 2 services include, but may not be limited to, the following major items of work. 1. Preparation of Final Construction Drawings and Specifications 2. Coordination with DEQ 3. Obtaining necessary permits required for construction 4. Project Bidding 5. Construction Administration and Observation 6. field Commissioning, System Startup and Operator Training 7.
