1. Develop Water Model. Develop a model of the City of Ramsey's municipal water supply system using an industry standard software program. This model will allow the selected consultant to adequately prepare a preliminary design report, and will allow the City to evaluate future operations throughout the system by considering variable flow regimes when water is drawn from different wells and storage tanks at different times, variable water usage patterns by municipal water consumers, and proposed system expansions. 1. Prepare Preliminary Design Report. Prepare a preliminary design report exploring available options and recommending preferred processes for treating known and emerging contaminants that will potentially need to be treated over the anticipated life of a centralized water treatment facility in the City of Ramsey. The report must examine available treatment process options for identified contaminants potentially needing treatment, recommend a preferred treatment process for each identified contaminant, identify required space needs for preferred treatment processes, identify anticipated expansion needs, provide a recommendation as to the required size and preferred location for the facility, and provide cost estimates for constructing and operating the facility over its anticipated life. Final design work for the centralized water treatment facility, including pilot testing of preferred treatment processes, will be completed under separate contract following public review of and input on the preliminary design report that will be developed as part of the scope of services of the attached RFP. Staff intends to submit the RFP to the consulting firms within the City's engineering consultant pool, as well as other engineering consultants that Staff feels are qualified to complete such work. Staff also plans to advertise the RFP on-line using QuestCDN, the same website Staff advertises City improvement projects on, and in the City's official newspaper, the Anoka Union Herald, on August 16, 2019. Notification: No notifications are required for this item. If approved, Staff will advertise the RFP in the Anoka Union Herald on August 16, 2019.
