WWTF Upgrades - General Program 6

The City of Columbus Department of Public Utilities is soliciting proposals for professional engineering services to support capital improvements at its wastewater treatment and water reclamation facilities under CIP # 650360-100004, with proposals due July 24, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time — today, rendering this opportunity closed to new submissions.

Services are to be provided on an as-needed basis to the Division of Water Reclamation, Treatment Engineering section. The scope encompasses general engineering support for two large interconnected municipal water reclamation plants, a biosolids composting facility, the Sewer Maintenance Operations Center, and remote telemetry sites including fourteen sanitary pump stations, sixteen storm pump stations, nine biofilter sites, four stream gauge sites, six floodwall gate houses, and thirty flow meter sites. Work may be required around the clock and at remote outdoor locations, as these facilities operate on a 24/7 basis and require periodic maintenance, upgrade, renovation, and replacement to maintain safe and reliable operations.

Proposals must be submitted exclusively through Bonfire at https://columbus.bonfirehub.com/login; hard copies and emails will not be accepted. The deadline for submitting questions was July 7, 2026. No pre-proposal meeting will be held; however, the selected consultant will be required to attend a scope meeting anticipated approximately three weeks after the proposal due date, with provisions for designating an alternate attendee. All proposal documents, reference materials, and addenda are available for download on the Bonfire platform. Questions and responses will be posted as addenda on Bonfire and the City's Vendor Services website. Firms without existing Bonfire accounts must register prior to submission; no registration or submission fees apply.

The RFP does not specify contract value, contract duration, renewal options, set-asides, or an incumbent contractor.
