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.
