Description

The project modernizes the Wastewater Reclamation Facility’s Building 75 boiler plant and associated heat‑loop system. It requires phased removal of existing boilers, pumps, mechanical equipment, piping, controls, and SCADA screens, followed by installation of new dual‑fuel boilers, hot‑water circulation pumps, upgraded control panels, expanded piping, and associated electrical work, all while maintaining continuous plant operation. A temporary hydronic heating system must be provided during construction, and detailed coordination with existing plant utilities is required. • Replace five boilers (two non‑condensing Weil‑McLain units, three condensing Cleaver‑Brooks units) and install a master control panel (Heat Timer). • Upgrade hot‑water supply/return piping, pumps, expansion tanks, valves, and SCADA integration across Buildings 75, 90, 801‑803. • Provide a temporary boiler‑heat system, conduct extensive demolition of existing equipment, and ensure minimal shutdown of wastewater treatment processes. • Coordinate mechanical, electrical, and civil work, secure all required permits, and deliver complete as‑built documentation, O&M manuals, and training.

Budget estimate

$8,000,000 – $10,000,000

The engineering estimate for the overall improvement is $9.1 million (see Notice to Bidders). The pre‑selected boiler equipment accounts for roughly $854 k, leaving the bulk of the contract – mechanical, electrical, civil, controls, and labor – in the $8–9 million range. Considering typical contractor margins (10‑15 %) and potential change‑order allowances, a realistic net earnings estimate for a qualified contractor would be between $8 million and $10 million. Factors influencing the final amount include the final contract price after negotiations, any approved change orders, and the scope of ancillary work such as demolition and temporary heating.
