  5. From2010topresent,DCWater committed more than $2.8 billion for engineering and construction projects in the areas of: Blue Plains upgrades andimprovements Combined sewer overflow (CSO), outfall rehabilitation, and pumping station projects Sanitary pumping facilities and trunk sewer upgrades Water distribution and water facility upgrades Past Engineering and Construction Dollars Committed Water main and sewer break repair along Spring Place, in Washington, DC. Our Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the next 10 years is valued at $3.8 billion, and over the next 20 years, $8.4 billion.

  6. We Will Work withyou! Over the last 3 years (FY 2011 – FY 2013), DC Water has awarded: 71 Design, Construction, and CM contracts with an award value of $2.01 billion Of this total, over 33% (or $674 million) was awarded to: Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), Women Business Enterprises (WBEs), Local Small Business Enterprises (LSBEs), and Certified Business Enterprises (CBEs) MBEs and WBEs have been awarded $584 million LSBEs and CBEs have been awarded $90 million For Design-Build contracts, the prime firms indicated that they will continue to pursue opportunities to exceed the goals of: MBE = 32% and WBE = 6% for construction contracts MBE = 28% and WBE = 4% for A/E contracts

  7. MBE and WBE Requirements DC Water’s MBE and WBE Fair Share Objectives are: Objectives are based on goals established by EPA Region 3: DC, DE, MD, PA, VA, & WV DC Water’s policy is to meet or exceed EPA objectives for MBE and WBE participation in prominent and leadership roles Note that some of the projects discussed today may or may not have EPA small business goals. DC Water continues to encourage the use of small businesses.

  10. Wastewater Services at Blue Plains Planning, design, and construction of projects for rehabilitation, upgrade, or implementation of new facilities 10

  11. Wastewater Services at Blue Plains: Major Projects Facility upgrades as necessary to comply with future regulatory limits for Total Nitrogen (TN) and Wet Weather By January 1, 2015: Reduce plant nitrogen discharge (TN) from 8,467,200 to 4,377,580 pounds per year: Mainly accomplished by the “Enhanced Nitrogen Removal Facility” project Also includes ENR-North (secondary treatment upgrades) Filtrate Treatment Facility (treatment of filtrate from dewatering after new digestion process) By March 23, 2018: Pump and process through an Enhanced Clarification Facility up to 225 MGD of combined sewage captured in the Blue Plains Tunnel

  12. Wastewater Services at Blue Plains: Major Projects Facility upgrades and processes that have a payback Biosolids Management Plan (Digesters, Cambi, Dewatering Facility) reduces sludge volume, produces a Class A product, produces electricity to offset 1/3 of plant’s electrical load Digesters under construction. Fully utilized biosolids site. CambiTM reactors.

  13. Ongoing Projectsat Blue Plains

  14. Latest Awarded Projects: Design-Build Tunnel Dewatering Pump Station/Enhanced Clarification Facilities Awarded value: $214 million Pump station to empty contents of newly constructed tunnels Includes 225 MGD ballasted flocculation treatment component Design-Build awarded to PC/CDM Smith JV; currently in design phase Main Process Train Awarded value: $216 million Design-Build awarded to PC/CDM Smith JV; currently in construction phase Combine Heat and Power Awarded value: $88 million Design-Build awarded to PES; currently in construction phase

  15. Latest Awarded Projects: Low Bid Enhanced Nitrogen Removal Facilities (ENRF) $69/$97 million Single largest expansion of liquid train since the 1970s Project provides over 40 million gallons of additional reactor capacity Required for new 2015 NPDES permit Final Dewatering Facilities $78 million Belt filter press facility for dewatering sludge from new digesters Enhanced Nitrogen Removal Facilities. Final Dewatering Facilities.

  16. Latest Awarded Projects: Low Bid ENR-North–SecondaryUpgrades $57 million Rehabilitation of existing facilities to improve effluent reliability for new ENRF process Major mechanical upgrades Filtrate Treatment Facilities $60 million Greenfield construction to treat high-strength ammonia stream DEMON-based process Filtrate Treatment Facilities.

  17. Smaller Projects DC Water is working through one of the most ambitious capital upgrade programs in the history of the utility Now moving into a phase of rehabilitating and upgrading its existing facilities No new greenfield projects Upgrades consist of smaller projects to existing process areas within Blue Plains Focus is on systems (primary treatment, odor control, fiber optics, flood wall)
