Water Treatment and Infrastructure Planning

The contract seeks qualified entities to evaluate water treatment requirements for all identified water sources and to recommend optimized process designs that address current and future water quality needs. This includes conducting detailed assessments of each water source’s characteristics, contaminants, and treatment challenges to determine the most effective, reliable, and sustainable treatment technologies. Teams must provide comprehensive process design recommendations that account for scalability, regulatory compliance, and system integration with existing infrastructure. Alongside technical recommendations, the contract requires detailed capital and operations and maintenance cost estimates for each proposed system, ensuring transparency and financial viability. Deliverables must clearly articulate the life-cycle costs, performance metrics, and risk factors associated with each design alternative. The work supports the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority’s mission to secure long-term water supply reliability and is subject to a submission deadline of August 4, 2026, with proposals due under a subcontract structure governed by NAICS code 541330 for engineering services.
