Site work for a water / sewer project in Peekskill, New York. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") is being issued by the City of Peekskill ("the City") for Engineering Services to provide a Sewer System Extension Study at Fleischmann Pier. The project proposes to extend the City's existing sewer system to Fleischmann Pier for the purpose of connecting it to bathroom facilities (currently a modular building with a holding tank) and to facilitate the installation of a discharge station for large, touring vessels. These measures are also intended to ensure responsible waste management and prevent harmful substances from entering the Hudson River. The study would include a Preliminary Engineer's Report outlining the feasibility of the project as well as recommended improvements to extend the sewer line, connect to the bathroom facilities and accommodate waste management strategies for the larger vessels. A detailed analysis will be necessary to monitor the impact on the City's current collection system. This study should factor in the current capacity of existing pumping stations and downstream collection system piping. The overall design and method shall be determined by the engineer. The City received $50,000 in funding from the Environmental Facilities Corporation for this Wastewater Infrastructure Engineering Planning Grant (EPG) and costs shall not exceed this amount.
