This project includes rehabilitation of the existing City of Aberdeen Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Pump Station Wet Well, including all necessary cleaning, surface preparation, and coating application, along with the replacement of the existing access hatches, sluice gate and pump station level controls, replacement of existing Influent Pumps 1 through 4 with new owner supplied pumps and replacement of the existing suction and discharge piping on all four influent pumps in the Influent Pump Station Dry Well. The modifications at the influent manhole include replacement of Influent Pump 5 with a new owner supplied dry prime pump on a pile supported foundation, removal of the existing motor operated sluice gate, installation of new level controls for Influent Pump 5 and abandonment of the existing 48-inch bypass pipeline. In addition, the project will include structural, architectural, heating and ventilation system and electrical modifications to the Operations Building, which is located over the Influent Pump Station Wet Well. The project also includes significant modifications to the exiting headworks structure that include the construction of new screening channels, replacement of the exiting influent screens with new perforated plate fine screens with hydraulic screenings transport flumes and screenings washer compactors; replacement of the force mains from Influent Pumps 1 and 5, replacement of the existing primary sludge pump and the installation of two additional primary sludge pumps and associated force mains; conversion of an abandoned aerated grit basin into a primary sludge pump room, installation of new sampling equipment and a new hydropneumatic pressure tank, installation of new removable flood gates, the installation of new heating and ventilation equipment and the construction of new pile supported equipment pads and landings on either side of the headworks structure. In addition, the existing sludge holding tanks will be renovated and placed back in service. These renovations will include the installation of an owner supplied pumped mixing system, two new digested sludge pumps, two small odor control systems and the expansion of the building between the sludge holding tanks. The project will also include removal and disposal of biosolids from the primary anaerobic digester and north sludge holding tank and the application of new coating systems to the digester and sludge holding tanks. The existing gravity thickener mechanism will be replaced with a new mechanism and the existing structure will be rehabilitated. A new pile supported CMU building will also be constructed to house the new switchboard, motor control centers and telemetry equipment that will be replacing the existing motor control centers and telemetry equipment that will be demolished in the Operations Building and Headworks Building as part of this project. Modifications to the existing Chlorination/Sludge Pump Building will include the installation of two new waste activated sludge pumps and two non-potable water pumps. Modifications to the Sludge Operations Building will include the installation of two new thickened primary sludge pumps, a sludge grinder, two new hydrocyclones, a new duplex air gap system, two new polymer systems, and a new magnesium hydroxide storage system. Renovations to the Digester Building will include a new roof, new HVAC systems, replacement of the existing digester heating system boiler, and a new hauled sludge transfer pump.
