Title: Northwest Water Reclamation Facility Clarifier #4 Rehabilitation

1. Introduction

1.1. Summary

This project involves the rehabilitation of Clarifier #4 at the City of St. Petersburg’s Northwest Water

Reclamation Facility (NWWRF). The work includes removal and replacement of the existing clarifier mechanism, which has reached the end of its service life, as well as replacement of both submerged and non-submerged components. The project is necessary to ensure the continued performance and reliability of the plant’s secondary treatment process, and to reduce the risk of mechanical failure that could impact operational compliance.

In addition to mechanical rehabilitation, the interior vertical masonry wall surfaces and associated metal supports will be cleaned, prepared, and recoated with a high-performance protective coating system.

Surface preparation will be performed in accordance with current SSPC standards, followed by installation of a Tnemec epoxy system designed for long-term performance in aggressive wastewater environments. This will improve corrosion resistance and extend the life of the structure.

The project also includes an owner-directed contingency allowance to address any unforeseen structural or surface repair conditions identified during construction. All work will be coordinated with plant operations to ensure minimal disruption to ongoing treatment processes. Manufacturer involvement, qualified application personnel, and strict quality control procedures are included to ensure that installation meets specification standards and delivers long-term asset protection.

1.2. Background

Clarifier #4 is one of several key secondary treatment units at the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility

(NWWRF), and has been in continuous service for several decades. While routine maintenance has extended its operational life, the main mechanism and associated components now show signs of wear, corrosion, and performance decline. The interior coating system on the clarifier walls and supports has also deteriorated, leaving structural elements vulnerable to further degradation.

This project represents a critical opportunity to restore the structural integrity and functionality of the clarifier while implementing high-performance materials that will reduce long-term maintenance needs.

Incorporating a proven coating system, combined with OEM-level mechanical replacement and modern

QA/QC standards, is expected to significantly extend the service life of this asset.

A successful project outcome will not only ensure treatment reliability and regulatory compliance, but will also minimize the need for near-term corrective repairs. The City is looking for a contractor who understands the operational importance of the clarifier and can execute the work efficiently with minimal disruption to plant processes.

4. Scope of Work

4.1. Intent

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking responses from qualified vendors to provide services to perform a rehabilitation on Clarifier #4 at the NWWRF for a one-time service.

The intent of this project is to restore the full operational function, structural integrity, and protective coating system of Clarifier #4 at the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility. The work shall include the complete removal and replacement of the existing clarifier mechanism, selective replacement of submerged and non-submerged components, and the surface preparation and recoating of interior vertical masonry walls and associated metal supports. The project will also include the a piping tie-in to the waste activated sludge (WAS) line that includes excavation between the clarifier wall and the WAS pad, installation of 6-inch ductile iron tee fitting, in-line grinder, electrical and installation of a control panel to allow for full clarifier pump-out.

The goal is to deliver a fully refurbished clarifier system that meets all manufacturer design criteria, coating performance specifications, and operational standards established by the City of St. Petersburg.

All work shall be performed in a manner that minimizes disruption to ongoing treatment operations and ensures long-term reliability and corrosion resistance.

Please refer at Attachments for more detailed information regarding this solicitation:

7. Piping Tie-In, Muffin Monster grinder pump and panel installation

Contractor shall furnish and install one (1) JWC Environmental Muffin Monster Grinder Pump, Model 30004T-1206, with one (1) JWC Environmental Motor Controller (Control Panel), Model

PC2220.

The grinder pump shall be installed at the WAS Pumping Station Pad, tied into the 6-inch WAS line that runs underground between the outside wall of Clarifier No. 4 and the WAS concrete pad.

Contractor responsibilities shall include:

a. Excavate to expose the existing 6-inch underground WAS line between the clarifier wall and the WAS pad.

b. Cut-in and Tee Installation: Cut the existing line as directed and install a new 6-inch ductile iron tee fitting. The tee shall allow uninterrupted flow to the WAS pad while providing connections for the new grinder and for full clarifier pump-out.

c. Grinder Pump Connection: One branch of the tee shall be brought vertically above grade through the WAS pad with a flanged riser and adapter, allowing the Muffin Monster grinder pump to be bolted directly to the flange.
