Asset Inventory and Capacity Study Services

The Vendor is required to provide study incudes an inventory and technical examination of the municipal water and wastewater facilities in every community in the county; and evaluation of potential capacity in existing systems to support future growth with a focus on available industrial properties; identification of limitations to system expansion including physical factors; a general assessment of infrastructure investments that may be necessary to support growth objectives, and; documentation and digital mapping in GIS of all existing assets.
- Approach
•    Current rated capacity of water and wastewater treatment systems.
•    Principal treatment processes and mechanical systems. 
•    Scheduled or anticipated facility upgrades and improvement and expansion projects. 
•    Scheduled or anticipated water distribution or wastewater collection system upgrades or expansion. 
•    Historic problems or obstacles to operations, improvements, and expansions including operational difficulties, regulatory compliance, land-use restrictions, or other operations barriers.
- Essential elements
•    All information shall be gathered, and evaluations shall made, by working directly with the operators and managers of the county water and sewer authority and each municipal water or sewer system.
•    The path to an estimate for expansion of the facility, including any regulatory or physical system limitations, shall be identified.
•    All facility and infrastructure systems evaluation shall become the benchmark for assessing the community’s ability to meet potential and projected demands, with a focus on new industrial development.
- Condition and capacity analysis
1. Water
•    Existing treatment plants shall be evaluated to identify peak design capacity (including intake), water source withdrawal limits, current production levels (average day and peak day), along with seasonal variations. 
•    All pump stations should be evaluated for pumping capacity, along with relevant information on horsepower, voltage, and phase. 
•    Wholesale supply connections into county shall be evaluated for capacity, contractual limitations, hydraulic grade level (pressure ranges), and outside stored water volumes that can support the interconnection.
•    Study shall propose and evaluate suggested upgrades to county water infrastructure that would reasonably accommodate additional industrial users and other large developments.
2. Wastewater
•    Existing wastewater treatment facilities shall be evaluated for peak design treatment capacity, existing average day and peak day flows, and seasonal variations.
•    All plants shall be evaluated to determine general condition of all key components, including outfalls.
•    Data shall be reported on pump horsepower, phasing, voltage and other key power considerations, along with an evaluation of existing controls, including condition.
- Mapping
•    All water treatment plants and key supply points from out-of-county water suppliers.
•    All publicly owned and operated water distribution and transmission mains, indicating main size and material.
•    All water pumping stations, pressure control structures, master meter vaults, ancillary treatment facilities (i.e. re-chlorination), etc.
•    All water storage tanks, standpipes and reservoirs.
