PROJECT INFORMATION: This project will provide services for Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) planning and design with a design basis report, 30%, 60%, 90% and 100% final design submittals. This project will replace the existing WWTP and will increase the capacity of the existing West Point WWTP from the current 2.06 million gallons per day (MGD) to 3.5 MGD (dry conditions)/7.0 MGD (wet conditions) gallons a day. The plant design shall meet the anticipated SPDES Permit effluent limitations. Primary facilities include primary, secondary and tertiary waste water treatment facilities, associated buildings, building information systems, fire protection and alarm systems, installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV), and Energy Monitoring and Control Systems (EMCS) connection. Sustainability/Energy measures will be provided. Supporting facilities include, site development, utilities and connections, lighting, paving, parking, walks, information systems, landscaping and signage. Heating will be provided by self-contained system. Measures in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) Minimum Antiterrorism for Buildings standards will apply. Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 50 years in accordance with DOD Unified Facilities Code (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance. The Military Reservation is a Net-Zero Energy pilot installation. The design may have provisions for the energy that is consumed in operating the WWTP to be partially offset by the use of alternative energy systems. Access for individuals with disabilities will be provided. All pumps, piping, containment vessels, process equipment, buildings and control systems necessary for this capacity will be included in this project design. This project may provide tertiary treatment to produce reclaimed water suitable for irrigating athletic fields. The project site is located in the northeast portion of West Point property and will be a redevelopment of the existing Waste Water Treatment Plant site. The increase in facility requirements to accommodate capacity increase, results in the need for additional site area. The site may be expanded to the west, requiring excavation and stabilization of the adjacent steep slope. Portions of the Directorate of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA) fields that adjoin the northern boundary of the existing WWTP will be utilized temporarily during construction for construction laydown/staging and temporary wastewater treatment facilities to maintain service while the existing plant is demolished and the new facility constructed. The treatment of wastewater flow from West Point shall not be disrupted during this project, construction phasing plans to accommodate demolition and temporary wastewater treatment will be provided with the design. A VE study will be done concurrently with the concept (30%) design and will require designer participation. AE will be responsible for preparing re-permitting documentation for NYSDEC. AE will be responsible for evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Army regulation (AR 200-2). The selected AE will be required to provide design review services in Dr. Checks. The estimated construction cost of this project is in between $60,000,000 and $65,000,000. The design duration is approximately 330 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed and must be complete by 1 May 2016 including 3 review periods. The A-E services may include but are not limited to the following: Site & Infrastructure/Seismic Design in accordance with the UFC's. Development of design criteria and basis of design. Design work analysis Technical specifications NEPA documentation and coordination. Historic Architecture and Section 106 consultation. Preparation of Permit applications.
