Site work and new construction of a water / sewer project in Riviera Beach, Florida. Working plans call for the construction of a water / sewer project.

The owner has selected a Design Builder. RFQ was awarded to the joint venture (JV) of Haskell and CDM Smith to design and construct a new $100 to $150 million, state-of-the-art water treatment facility. The Riviera Beach Utility Special District in collaboration with the City of Riviera Beach issues this Request for Qualifications with the intent of obtaining proposals from interested and qualified firms to enter into a contract with the District to replace the District's aging water treatment plant and associated infrastructure. The objective of this RFQ is to select a team to provide professional design, management, construction, and potential financing for the RBUD water treatment facilities.
