The detailed RFQ, background information, consultant selection criteria, and instructions for submittal of Qualifications may be obtained at the City of Renton website, http://rentonwa.�ov/bids/in the RFQ section, or by contacting Dave Christensen, City of Renton Wastewater Utility at 425-430-7212, or by email at dchristensen@rentonwa.�ov. BACKGROUND The City of Renton owns and operates the Renton Municipal Airport located adjacent to the Boeing 737 Production Facility,the Cedar River, and Lake Washington. At the northwest portion of the airport facility is an existing private sewer lift station that is the responsibility of the Renton Airport to own, operate, and maintain.This lift station serves a number of the lease holders at this portion of the site. The lift station has reached its useful life and needs to be replaced.The Wastewater Utility is assisting Airport Staff with the replacement of the station. SCOPE OF WORK/PROPOSAL Anticipated work for this project includes an initial brief alternative analysis that evaluates whether or not a gravity alternative exists to route the sewer from these existing buildings to the north, to King County's Bryn Mawr Interceptor,which crosses the Airport property. If gravity service is not an available option,then the alternatives analysis will evaluate alternative locations for the replacement lift station. The existing station is approximately 28 feet deep and located in a difficult location for general maintenance.The city will provide all existing mapping available that shows the location of the existing sewer laterals from the lease properties into the lift station. If a gravity option is available, and is determined to be cost effective,then the design shall include plan and profile drawings and C:\Users\lili-wong\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.0utlook\YVUUMOIE\Consultant Selection RFQ.docx Page 1 of 4 specifications for the gravity route. If replacement of the lift station is the preferred option,the design shall include sizing for flow, evaluation of package systems, level of telemetry/notification for system failure, lift station replacement plans and specifications. Under both alternatives,the consultant will assist the city with services during construction. We anticipate this work will be classified as maintenance or under 12-inch pipe sizing, and therefore exempt from SEPA. Anticipated permitting is a Public Works Construction permit and an electrical permit. All work is expected to take place on Renton Municipal Airport property.
