Title
Consider Approving Request for Proposals for Wastewater Treatment Plant Operational Analysis and Facility Study Update.
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council is to consider a Motion approving the Request for Proposals for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Operational Analysis and Facility Study Update.
Summary Report:
The City Council is being asked to consider approving the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Operational and Vulnerability Analysis and Facility Study Update. Upon approval by the City Council, the RFP will be sent out to various engineering firms.
The engineering firms are being asked to develop two studies for the City. First, they will develop an operational analysis. This will review the current operation of the facility as well as provide guidance for best operating procedures. The second study is an update to the current Facility Study. This will provide an update to the Capital Improvement Plan by identifying when items should be replaced at the Wastewater Treatment Plant over the next ten years.
