FPS Pump Upgrade

The Regional District of Central Okanagan is soliciting proposals under RFP R26-231 for the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of Fermented Primary Sludge (FPS) pump upgrades at the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant in West Kelowna, BC. The scope of work includes the phased demolition of existing pumps and piping, construction of new concrete equipment pads, and the installation of two new progressing cavity pumps and two grinders, along with associated valving and piping. While the contractor is responsible for the mechanical installation and commissioning, the supply of power feeds, electrical breakers, programming, and integration will be handled by others. The project will be executed under a CCDC2 – 2020 Stipulated Price Contract, with work commencing after November 30, 2026, and a required ready-for-takeover date of August 31, 2027. Key technical requirements include the use of CSA certified electrical equipment and piping systems registered with the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. The contractor must provide factory-trained instructors for personnel training and deliver spare parts and special tools no more than eight weeks prior to operational testing. Strict quality and safety standards are mandated, including compliance with the Workers' Compensation Prevention Regulations of British Columbia and specific surface preparation standards such as SSPC SP2, SP6, and SP7. Final acceptance is contingent upon the correction of all deficiencies, successful system demonstration to the owner, and the submission of all regulatory certificates and as-built drawings. A one-year warranty period will begin upon the issuance of the Notice of Acceptance.
