E-MAIL: Click Here to E-mail Buyer*****, wittkofj@hillwpos.hill.af.mil. Hill AFB is seeking potential offerors for the privatization of the industrial wastewater treatment plant (IWTP) and collection system (IWCS) at Hill AFB, Utah. This notice is being issued to determine the interest and feasibility of proceeding with a formal request for proposals. The objective of this program is to transfer ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Hill AFB IWTP and IWCS and contract with the new owner for an indefinite term to collect, treat, and dispose of industrial wastewater within the service area. All responsibility for maintaining continuous and reliable utility service, including such items as environmental compliance, maintenance costs, major system renovations, construction, equipment, manpower and overhead costs will become the new owner's responsibility. It is intended that the privatization will ultimately reduce the Air Force's life-cycle costs for operating and maintaining this utility system and service. The IWTP and IWCS consists of a 0.576 MGD (average) treatmentplant, eight lift stations, approximately eight miles of collection pipeline, and all associated equipment, structures, and facilities. Unit operations include but are not limited to batch cyanide destruction, continuous solids separation, batch and continuous metals precipitation and separation, continuous air stripping, and continuous semi-volatile organic absorption. Sources of industrial wastewater include but are not limited to plating operations, aircraft depainting and painting, aircraft conversion coating, aircraft defueling and fueling, aircraft washing, and vehicle maintenance.
