Site work for a mixed-use development in Gainesville, Florida. Completed plans call for site work for a power facility; and water / sewer project.

DEADLINE FOR QUESTIONS: February 1, 2024 Scope of Work Contractors are being hired to install two basic piping systems: CTMW and PWW. CTMW is the piping system that will move water from the DH Cooling Tower Makeup Water (CTMW) Tank to the DHR Raw Water Tank. PWW is the system that moves waste water between DH and DHR; primary purpose is to move water from the DHR Waste Water Tank to the DH Ponds and secondarily to move water from the ponds back to the DHR Waste Water Tank. Both systems utilize HDPE DR 17 piping and most of the underground piping has already been run with 10" HDPE DR17 piping (some piping will be used as sleeves). The HDPE contractor will run the remaining 10" CTMW piping and the 6" PWW piping which will require fusing two sections of piping. The CONTRACTOR will provide certification of each weld. DH and DHR are located next to each other and GRU has identified a strategy for three water sharing capabilities that will lead to a reduction of groundwater from the wells, a reduction of overall water usage across the sites, reduction of production costs, reliability of our systems, and decrease of landfill solid waste: This project will connect DH and DHR by installing 10" HDPE piping and 6" HDPE piping between the two sites. Background GRU's Deerhaven Generating Station (DH) is a zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) facility in which no wastewater is discharged to the environment. DH has a pond system that allows for surge capacity and a makeup water treatment system that produces high quality makeup water to the cooling towers. In November 2017, GRU purchased Deerhaven Renewable Generating Station (DHR). DHR is an electric generating station using biomass to generate up to 100 megawatts of power and is located next to DH. DHR uses approximately 1.1 million gallons of water per day as cooling water for the steam turbine condenser and auxiliary equipment.
