Lake County Public Works (LCPW) owns and operates three water reclamation facilities:  Mill Creek Water Reclamation Facility (1 MG daily flow), New Century Town Water Reclamation Facility (NCT WRF) (3.5 MG daily flow) and Des Plaines River Water Reclamation Facility (DPR WRF) (11 MG daily flow).  LCPW is seeking the following services:   

• Facility master plans for capital planning
• Risk assessments that prioritize repair/replacement by risk of failure; establish a multi‐year replacement program utilizing a risk-based asset ranking approach and provide an estimated schedule to prepare the preliminary engineering report
• Operational optimization studies and staffing evaluations
• Design of facility improvements, including preparing all necessary surveys, preliminary and final engineering studies, design documents, and bid documents
• Design services include conducting alternatives evaluations and evaluating life cycle costs and operational needs
• Secure all permit approvals and provide as-built record drawings, operational manuals and related documents
• Construction oversight, including resident engineer services, evaluating shop drawings, monitoring construction, preparing change orders, and reviewing contractor pay requests

It is expected that all projects will be highly complex and include multifaceted coordination sequencing with stakeholders to maintain operational needs throughout the project. All WRFs must remain in operation at all times, including the event of high flows.  Engage with stakeholders and the public, as necessary.
