Description
The Brunswick County, in consultation with the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, is seeking a qualified professional engineering firm to conduct a feasibility study for a regional biosolids management approach. The study aims to evaluate the potential for a jointly- and publicly-owned and operated regional biosolids facility. The selected firm will be responsible for identifying and evaluating alternatives for long-term regional management of biosolids in Brunswick and surrounding counties. The scope of work includes documenting each party's biosolids-specific goals and policies, identifying potential challenges and needs, and providing a high-level market analysis for biosolids products.
Some key aspects of the project include:
• Identifying other potential agencies that could participate in a regional biosolids management solution
• Documenting each party's biosolids-specific goals and policies
• Identifying potential challenges and needs for each facility, such as current biosolids management costs and potential future limitations to biosolids disposal/beneficial use strategies
• Providing a high-level market analysis for biosolids products
• Evaluating the potential for a flexible implementation plan for positioning the respective agencies to participate in multiple markets
