Back to Open Solicitations

With this Request for Information (RFI), Clean Water Services (District) seeks to evaluate public-private partnership options for: 1) the expansion of digester capacity at its two largest water resource recovery facilities; and 2) treatment of the solids produced by its two smaller water resource recovery facilities, which do not currently process solids, and possibly treatment of a portion of the solids produced by its two largest wastewater treatment facilities.  Information submitted by respondents will inform District’s decision making regarding these projects. 

This RFI is a tool for identifying the level of project developer interest and to gain a sense of what a public-private partnership arrangement for the planned projects could look like.  The selection of a developer for a project, if it occurs, will require an additional process, which could include direct negotiation, requests for additional information, a competitive selection process, or any combination of these.
