City of Huntsville, Project ID #: 25-10-09
INTRODUCTION
The City of Huntsville, TX (hereinafter referred to as the “City”) invites Civil Engineers, Multi‐Disciplinary Firms and any other qualified professionals, registered with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers, to submit qualifications to provide professional design engineering and construction support services for wastewater treatment plant, lift station expansion improvement, and gravity & force main sewer projects as listed below:
PROJECTS: ( 1 ) Robinson Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Expansion and (2) McDonald Creek Lift Station Expansion Design, and (3) Various Gravity and Force Main Lines Design -
(1) Robinson Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Expansion:
Robinson Creek WWTP is located at 4420 Farm‐to‐Market Road 1374, Huntsville, Texas 77340.
The WWTP is currently permitted for an annual average daily flow (AADF) of 2.5 million gallons per day (MGD) and a peak 2‐hour flow (P2HF) of 7.5 MGD. The WWTP was originally constructed in 2002. The main treatment units at the WWTP consists of the following: Influent lift station with four submersible pumps; Headworks consisting of one fine screen and mechanical vortex type grit removal system; two oxidation ditch basins with mechanical mixers; two final clarifiers;
Return Activated Sludge (RAS) pump station with three self‐priming pumps; Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) pump station with two double disc pumps; Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system

with a single channel of horizontal UV modules; two aerated sludge holding tanks with blowers;
Dewatering building consisting of one centrifuge unit and polymer feed system; and non‐potable water (NPW) system consisting of two vertical turbine pumps.
The Robinson Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) currently receives an average daily flow of 1.56 million gallons per day (MGD), representing approximately 62% of its permitted capacity. Based on flow projections developed as part of the City's ongoing wastewater system capacity and condition study, an expansion of the Robinson Creek WWTP is necessary to accommodate anticipated growth in the service area. The proposed expansion will increase the average annual daily flow (AADF) capacity from 2.5 MGD to 3.75 MGD and the peak two‐hour flow (P2HF) capacity from 7.5 MGD to 15.0 MGD.
(2) McDonald Creek Lift Station Expansion:
The McDonald Creek Lift Station, located at 259 Sunset Lake Drive, Huntsville, Texas, 77340, serves the Robinson Creek service area and conveys wastewater to the Robinson Creek WWTP via a 12‐inch forcemain. Due to anticipated increases in flow from future upstream developments, an expansion of this lift station is required. The primary objective of this project is to increase the lift station's firm capacity from 1.44 MGD to 4.5 MGD and upgrade the existing 12‐inch forcemain to ensure efficient conveyance to the Robinson Creek WWTP.
(3) Various Gravity and Force Main Lines Evaluation & Design:
Various wastewater related infrastructure improvement projects including wastewater main gravity lines, wastewater main rehabilitations, and force mains throughout the City.
