Project Description The City of Oregon is considering the installation of an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system to replace the existing chlorination disinfection system at the City’s WWTP located at 4657 Dupont Road. The City of Oregon Wastewater Treatment Plant began full operation in December of 1977. Over the years, additional improvements have been undertaken to further enhance the treatment capabilities of the plant. The WWTP treats 8 million gallons per day on a normal basis and has capacity to treat up to 36 million gallons per day during wet weather periods. The plant also receives waste from the City of Northwood, portions of Jerusalem Township, portions of Wood County, and the Villages of Harbor View and Millbury. The WWTP operates under a permit issued by the Ohio and United States Environmental Protection Agencies. The permit requires that the plant remove 90+% of BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and Suspended Solids pollutants year-round. The plant's effluent must also meet phosphorous, coliform bacteria, chlorine, and heavy metals limits, before discharge to Lake Erie. The WWTP also regulates industrial discharges under a pretreatment program approved by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Estimated Construction Cost: TBD Scope of Services The selected consultant is to provide professional engineering services for preliminary and final design, bidding support, construction engineering and resident project representation for replacing the City’s current chlorination disinfection system with an ultraviolet disinfection system. Selection Subfactors: Consultants must have extensive and varied experience in providing analysis and design for wastewater treatment facilities.
