Water Treatment Plant Design Documents and Operation Contract

This document package comprises Part 1B 90% design submittal drawings for the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Water Treatment Plant Replacement project in Durham, New Hampshire, prepared by Woodard Curran engineering firm (Project ID 2008-0038). The design includes comprehensive architectural, civil, electrical, and structural drawings for a water treatment facility featuring rapid mix, flocculation, plate settler clarification, and filtration systems. The plant design accommodates administrative offices, training laboratories, chemical storage, control rooms, mechanical spaces, and pipe galleries across multiple building levels. The facility incorporates reinforced concrete tanks for water processing, CMU and brick veneer construction for administrative areas, and specialized systems for chemical feed, solids handling, and instrumentation. The drawings, dated May 5, 2017, represent a complete technical design package with over 80 sheets detailing building plans, sections, elevations, structural framing, mechanical systems, process flow diagrams, and construction details.

The related contract opportunity seeks qualified contract operators for staffing, management, and operation of the completed UNH Water Treatment Plant. This operational contract requires experienced facility operators capable of managing the treatment processes, chemical systems, equipment maintenance, and regulatory compliance for the newly constructed facility. The contract scope encompasses day-to-day operations, staff training on laboratory and administrative functions, and management of the various water treatment processes including coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and chlorination systems. The design documents provide the technical foundation for operational planning, including detailed mechanical and process diagrams, instrumentation specifications, and facility layout that operational staff will utilize to manage plant functions. Funding for both the capital construction project and subsequent operations derives from UNH facilities and water system budgets.
