Description
The Port of Port Orford is seeking a design-build firm to design and construct a seawater delivery system. The system will provide undiluted seawater to support live seafood holding operations, aquaculture businesses, and research facilities. The project includes designing and constructing a seawater intake, pumping system, filtration system, and distribution infrastructure. The selected firm will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits, procuring materials and equipment, and constructing the system. The project has a budget of $500,000 and is expected to be completed within a few months to a year. Key considerations include meeting environmental discharge standards, working in a coastal environment, and providing a reliable and efficient system.
• The system must be able to provide up to 800 gpm of seawater with filtration consistent with applicable state and federal regulations.
• The system should maximize ease of operation and maintenance, minimize cost of service per gallon delivered, and consider metering requirements.
• The locations and construction methods for any enclosures for pumps and controls must meet FEMA flood zone requirements.
• The Design-Builder should optimize system design to balance immediate operational needs with long-term infrastructure value.
