City of Wheaton Wells and Storage Study Re-Bid

The City of Wheaton is soliciting a qualified engineering firm to perform a comprehensive Emergency Well and Storage Expansion Study. The study will evaluate the feasibility, cost, and water‑quality impacts of using existing emergency wells, determine daily water needs during a supply outage, develop cost‑effective storage expansion options, and produce O&M cost projections to support a 2028 capital‑planning decision. The contractor must deliver technical memoranda, a capital‑improvement framework, and a final resiliency roadmap within the 2026‑2028 planning window. • Perform Level 2 constant‑rate pump tests on two of six municipal wells. • Conduct desktop water‑quality analysis, blending and lead‑service‑line impact studies. • Provide cost estimates for well rehabilitation vs. replacement and for additional storage infrastructure. • Model financial scenarios and life‑cycle costs for storage expansion to meet a 48‑hour supply mandate. • Estimate annual O&M costs for wells and storage assets. • Deliver final technical memorandum and capital‑improvement planning framework by Fall 2027.
