Chemical Improvements at the Lake Whitney Water Treatment Plant

The contract involves comprehensive chemical feed system upgrades at the Lake Whitney Water Treatment Plant, managed by the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority. Key tasks include replacing the sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) feed system within its storage area, which encompasses bulk tanks, a day tank, transfer and metering pumps, piping, valves, and instrumentation. Additionally, a new potassium permanganate feed system will be installed in a designated storage room, involving similar components such as mix tanks, transfer pumps, metering pumps, piping, valves, and instrumentation. The project also requires the demolition of existing potassium permanganate equipment and components within the current storage room. Building enhancements are a significant part of the scope, including replacing a door, installing new fiberglass platforms and stairs, upgrading the tempered water system, adding safety shower and eye wash stations, implementing a new dust collection system, installing a powered lift table, constructing a concrete landing, applying chemical-resistant coatings, and making various electrical improvements to support the new systems. The project is valued between one million and five million dollars and is open for responses until January 22, 2025. It is part of a solicitation issued by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, with the primary point of contact being Brent Domkowski. The work aims to improve chemical handling safety, system reliability, and operational efficiency at the water treatment facility, ensuring compliance with safety standards and enhancing infrastructure resilience.
