Construction Manager/General Contractor Services for the Halifax Plantation Wastewater Treatment Facility Expansion

The Halifax Plantation WWTF-8 is an extended aeration package plant wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) with an influent manual bar rack structure, biological nutrient removal and effluent reuse/disposal via rapid infiltration basins (RIBs). The facility is permitted under Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Permit No. FLA011131, issued November 3, 2023 and expiring March 17, 2034.

The permitted capacity of the WWTF is 0.300 million gallons per day (MGD) annual average daily flow (AADF) with current flows exceeding 0.220-MGD annual average daily flow (AADF). Effluent reuse/disposal is via four RIBs having a total wetted area of 3.78 acres and located on the same property as the WWTF. There are currently no compliance issues.

Due to projected flow increases from new developments, a WWTF expansion is to be constructed and online by early 2029 or sooner, corresponding with the expected completion of the Old Kings Road and Roscommon Drive intersection realignment project. The expansion will include additional treatment plant processes detailed further in this document and additional RIB wetted area that will increase the permitted capacity by 0.150 MGD, bringing the WWTF’s permitted capacity to 0.450 MGD.

The purpose of this request for statement of qualifications (RSQ) is to select the most highly qualified firm or firm(s) to provide the requested services.
