Local Advanced Water Purification System (Local AWPS)

The Local AWPS project involves a two-phase construction effort aimed at enhancing water treatment capabilities through the installation of a new reverse osmosis system capable of producing 1.125 million gallons per day of permeate. This phase includes the installation of housekeepings pads for future skids and pipe headers designed for expansion, as well as motor control centers that will support subsequent phases. The permeate will be blended with existing tertiary-treated recycled water to maintain a TDS concentration between 400 and 500 mg/L, all while ensuring that construction does not disrupt current treatment operations except under specific circumstances such as piping and utility tie-ins. The project encompasses the construction of various facilities, including an odor control structure, membrane filtration, permeate storage tank, blending station, chemical storage, electrical and control systems, along with site work like foundation, piping, paving, landscaping, and the construction of a metal canopy, electrical building, and perimeter wall. The total estimated cost for this project is approximately $53.6 million. The contract, issued by the Public Works-Engineering Division of California, is open for bids until January 31, 2025, with the solicitation number IFB193197. It is a large-scale project under the NAICS code 221320, with the primary point of contact being Nanette Obrien, reachable via email or phone. The project site is located in California, and the work will involve coordination with City of Palo Alto Utilities for new service connections, including electrical, potable water, and fire water supplies.
