Old Ocean City Road Corridor Sewer Extension Preliminary Engineering Report

The Wicomico County is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to perform professional engineering services for a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) to evaluate the Old Ocean City Road Corridor Sewer Extension Project. The PER should comply with USDA RUS Bulletin 1780-2 requirements and build upon the Wicomico County Water and Sewer Master Plan. The report will define the project need, evaluate feasible alternatives, and include conceptual layouts, life-cycle present worth cost analyses, detailed and total cost estimates, and an annual operating budget. The study area includes the Old Ocean City Road corridor bounded on the west by Civic Avenue, on the east by Walston Switch Road, and on the south by Route 50. • The PER shall evaluate two treatment alternatives: extending service from the City of Salisbury Wastewater Treatment Plant and constructing a new County-owned regional WWTP east of Salisbury near the Walston Switch Road and Old Ocean City Road intersection. • The PER shall estimate the size of a storage lagoon and the area needed for spray irrigation based on the WWTP capacity. • The study should identify the site selection needs and testing needs if the Regional WWTP alternative is pursued. • The County is the lead agency to coordinate with the City of Salisbury, including processing information requests.
