About this file

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) attachment for Wastewater Flow Metering Services issued by the State of New Hampshire, specifically detailing flow meter and rain gauge locations within the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program (WRBP) service area. The document identifies nine required flow meter monitoring sites across multiple municipalities in Belknap and Merrimack counties, including locations in Laconia, Gilford, Tilton, Franklin, Sanbornton, and Belmont. Service locations vary in existing infrastructure, with gravity sewer depths ranging from approximately 4 to 15 feet and pipe diameters ranging from 6 to 60 inches. The contract scope includes installation, monitoring, and reporting of flow data using Area Velocity (AV) and Ultrasonic (US) metering technologies, with contractors required to report the most accurate available meter results or utilize Manning Equation calculations. The RFP also identifies two optional temporary or permanent flow meter locations at the Opechee and Soda Brook Homes sites, pending future determination.

The contract additionally requires maintenance and monitoring of four rain gauge stations installed at Winnipesaukee River Basin Program pump stations in Franklin, Belmont, Laconia (two locations), utilizing existing ISCO 674 rain gauges with ISCO 2105 Interface modules. One required site, STP-1 at the Franklin Wastewater Treatment Plant, mandates daily flow results between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and 12 a.m. to 12 a.m., with accessibility limited to specified hours. Several monitoring sites feature access constraints, including locations requiring police traffic details, coordinated property access, walk-in access at public beach facilities, and sites positioned within Department of Transportation rights-of-way or railroad corridors. Temporary meter types for optional locations require pre-approval by WRBP prior to deployment.
