This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) invites SOQs to be submitted by Respondents according to the requirements set forth in this RFQ including the format and content guidelines in Section 5 (SOQ Submission Requirements). Pursuant to RCW 39.10, Alternative Public Works Contracting Procedures, the Owner intends to award a
contract for GC/CM services utilizing a streamlined two-step competitive process to select the most qualified Respondent (Contractor). The CKTP provides wastewater treatment for much of the central Kitsap Peninsula. The existing
plant consists of headworks, primary clarifiers, aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, and UV
disinfection. Solids, including those hauled from the Kitsap County's other treatment plants, are
thickened and digested anaerobically before dewatering and disposal. CKTP also receives liquid
hauled waste (LHW) in the form of septage and fats, oils, and grease (FOG).
The plant is rated for maximum month flow rate of 6.0 million gallons per day (MGD) as listed in
the NPDES Permit. The treated effluent is discharged to Port Orchard Bay of the Puget Sound in
accordance with the NPDES Permit.
The key components of the current solids handling side of the plant include gravity thickeners,
boiler-heated anaerobic digesters, a septage receiving station, and an in-plant pump station.
Given the age of the equipment, the steady increase in both WWTP solids and LHW, and
changing permit conditions, the facilities currently experience capacity, operational and
performance issues. A lack of redundancy also constrains routine maintenance and emergency
operation. The condition of the digesters is of critical concern. Failure would affect septage
receiving services for the entire region. The CKTP is located on the Kitsap Peninsula, west of Seattle across Puget Sound at 12351
Brownsville Highway, Poulsbo, WA, 98370, west of Port Orchard Bay between Brownsville
Highway NE and Old Military Road NE. Deadline for Questions March 7, 2024 at 5:00 PM (local time) Submit all communications by email to the Owner's
