Performance Work Statement

Quinault Sewage Treatment Plant Operations & Maintenance

General Information

1.0 Background and Purpose

General Plant Description

Influent enters the WWTP from Pump Station No. 1 through the mechanical fine screen, which removes large debris. Influent then enters the equalization tanks where it is mixed with decanted liquor from the sludge storage tank. Influent then enters the gravity manhole and is mixed with liquor from the membrane filtration tanks. The influent is then split and sent to the membrane filtration tanks for processing. Processed material goes to the effluent tank for distribution to the drain fields. Some material from the membrane filtration tanks feeds back to the equalization tanks or gravity manhole and to the sludge tank.

Flow to the WWTP fluctuates significantly both diurnally and seasonally. Seasonally, the flow to the plant will fluctuate from 5,000 gallons per day (gpd), or less during the winter months, to 60,000 gpd on peak summer days. Usage comes from the Quinault Lodge, two Forest Service campgrounds and a trailhead parking area, several intermittently used homes, and the Quinault Workstation. Use varies significantly throughout the year.

The Primary Operator is responsible for plant adjustments to maintain efficient operation of the plant.

Automatic and manual monitoring assists the plant operators in maintaining efficient plant operation.

A process schematic and hydraulic profile of the plant is (Attachment 2) for clarification purposes. It is intended to illustrate the plant only and is not intended to be a detailed representation of the plant process.

Detailed information can be found in the System Operation Manual, Lake Quinault Workstation Wastewater Treatment Facility, which is available for physical inspection at the WWTP and at the Supervisor’s Office (1835 Black Lake Blvd. SW, Olympia, WA 98512). These are the only two physical locations where copies of the manuals are kept.

Critical systems within the plant have been duplexed for redundancy to allow repairs to be made without shutting down the plant. In addition, the controls have been designed to allow human control of critical systems in the event of a Programmable Logic Computer (PLC) failure. The WWTP, primary pump station No. 1 and pump station No. 2 have backup generators and transfer switches to maintain power during outages. Other pump stations will accept manually connected generators.

The wastewater treatment plant was originally constructed in the 1970s and was upgraded to a Membrane Bio- Reactor (MBR) facility that utilizes a membrane filtration package manufactured by Zenon Corporation in 2006. The designed flow rates are 24,000 gpd average annual flow, 40,000 maximum monthly flows, 80,000 gpd peak day flows, and 360,000 gpd peak instantaneous flow.

This plant is operated under a LOSS Annual Operating Permit issued by the Washington State Department of Health (WA DOH) (Permit No. GHB009) (Attachment 3). The permit mandates effluent standards. The permit identifies the plant type as a Membrane Bioreactor. The Primary Operator in charge of day-to-day operations shall be a Group II operator. At a minimum a Secondary Operator certified as Group I shall be in charge during all regularly scheduled shifts. The Primary Operator needs to be available to assist the Secondary Operator in a timely manner to meet permit requirements put forth by DOH.

General Contractor Tasks

The Contractor shall perform operation and maintenance (O&M) of the Quinault Sewage Treatment Plant (QSTP), which consists of the Lake Quinault Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP); two primary influent pumping stations; four secondary influent grinder pump stations; the associated influent collection piping; and five drain fields including the distribution lines, located along South Shore Road of Lake Quinault. O&M includes normal maintenance tasks, periodic major maintenance tasks, and contracting the disposal of sludge from the WWTP.

Contractor shall perform emergency repair and provide callback services on the systems listed above; and

Contractor shall perform testing and monitoring of the Quinault Wastewater Sewage System which includes sampling, testing, and reporting as outlined in the System Operation Manual, Lake Quinault Workstation Wastewater Treatment Facility.

Services shall be performed, as needed, seven (7) days per week for the contract period. The Forest Service estimates operation and maintenance of this facility requires 60 operator hours per week. An operator shall be on site at least two (2) hours per day.

Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, supplies, supervision, transportation, small tools, equipment, incidentals, and services; unless otherwise listed as Government-furnished, necessary for the day-to-day operation and maintenance (O&M) of the Quinault Wastewater Sewage System in accordance with the Washington State, Department of Health Annual Operating Permit and the System Operation Manual, Lake Quinault Workstation Wastewater Treatment Facility.
