The City is investing in improvements to its Wastewater Treatment Facility (WwTF) infrastructure to address legislative and growth requirements. The redevelopment and expansion of the City's WwTF will be conducted as a Design and Construction Program made up of a series of distinct Projects that are interdependent and have to be delivered in a coordinated and logically sequenced manner. The GC will be responsible for the following program, which includes, but is not limited to, the following projects on the Owner owned lands at the Barrie WwTF, located at 249 Bradford Street: (a) New Hydro Substation and associated infrastructure (b) UNOX and Secondary Clarifier Tank Conversion (c) MBR Construction (d) Flow Attenuation Tank (e) Primary Digester 4 (f) Development of Site Strategy and Class EA studies for future expansion (g) Implementation of selected upgrades arising from item (f) (h) Any other projects, as determined during program development, that could be consolidated for efficiency or any other benefit, as determined by City The primary project is the membrane bio-reactor (MBR) retrofit utilizing ultrafiltration membranes within the existing WwTF secondary treatment system. Conversion of the existing high purity oxygen UNOX tanks to fine bubble aeration system will be required to facilitate the MBR retrofit. Upgrading the stand-by power supply and hydro sub-station infrastructure is required prior to the implementation of the fine bubble aeration system. The 2019 Wastewater Treatment Master Plan (WWTMP) also identified the need for a peak flow attenuation tank to address wet weather flows, and an additional primary digester to meet the WwTF's current 76 MLD requirements.
