The City of Golden is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive condition assessment of the Golden Water Treatment Plant and development of a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP Master Plan) for the next 15 years. The Golden Water Treatment Plant, located at 1409 10th Street, Golden, CO 80401, has been in operation since 1950 (Estimated). The City of Golden's Water Treatment Facility is a conventional treatment facility, which employs separate, sequential unit processes to meet primary drinking water regulations. The processes include raw water pumping, coagulation/flocculation, clarification, granular media filtration, disinfection (chlorination), and treated water pumping. It is unknown as to the exact origin date of Golden's Water Treatment Facility. However, there are 1950 improvement plans that reflect the oldest parts of the plant that remain in service today. The 1950 Improvements are not part of the primary treatment process, but the clarifier tank constructed at that time was repurposed as a sludge thickening tank several decades later and continues in service today. The Golden Water Treatment Plant has a peak hydraulic capacity of 15.0 MGD, with a firm hydraulic capacity of 7.5 MGD. Firm hydraulic capacity is established based on any one critical process redundancy being out of service. Firm hydraulic capacity for Golden's facility is dictated by the sedimentation basins. A capacity limited to 7.5 MGD would require one of the sedimentation basins to be completely offline. This would be unlikely particularly in high demand periods within the city, as even if one piece of equipment were down, it is likely the sedimentation could continue to receive flows. Other processes (filters/pumps/etc.) have a firm capacity of 12.5 MGD. Currently Maximum Day Demand on the treatment facility during summer months is approximately 6.0 MGD (observed periodically over the past 5 years), but if for any reason the non-potable irrigation system is down Maximum Day Demand would reasonably reach 6.5 MGD. Refer to EX-1, attachment, reflecting the overall system schematic. IMEG has been a trusted partner of Golden for 20+ years. The selected consultant will utilize and partner with IMEG & Golden staff to understand and review previous work and review hydraulic models and assumptions. IMEG & Golden will also provide population & growth projections, hydraulic modelling information upon request.
