FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Results of Facility Plan RFP and Interviews
The City of Dubuque operates a wastewater treatment plant providing secondary
treatment for residential, commercial, and industrial wastewaters. The treatment
facilities are complex, energy intensive and involve high replacement costs as units
reach the end of their useful lives. The original facilities were designed and built over
forty years ago and updated in 1994. The need to replace plant components and the
desire to reduce plant operating costs prompts the City to prepare a Facility Plan to
identify the best alternatives for sludge handling, biological wastewater treatment,
alternative disinfection methods, and to review other plant needs.
A Request for Proposals was released on February 5, 2007. Of the firms submitting
proposals, five were selected for the interview process.
Based upon the strength of their proposal, approach to the public involvement process,
and integration of City of Dubuque's commitment to becoming a green community, it is
the recommendation of Water Pollution Control Plant Manager Jonathan Brown and the
RFP review team that Strand and Associates be selected to work with the City of
Dubuque in the development of the City's Water Pollution Control Plant Facility Plan for
an estimated cost in the amount of $85,000. The Water Pollution Control Plant Facility
Plan has been approved for funding by the State of Iowa Revolving Loan Fund for
planning and design.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Results of Facility Plan RFP and Interviews
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to present the results of the RFP and interview process for
the selection of the firm for the development of a Facility Plan for the City of Dubuque
Water Pollution Control Plant.
BACKGROUND
The City of Dubuque operates a wastewater treatment plant providing secondary
treatment for residential, commercial, and industrial wastewaters. The treatment
facilities are complex, energy intensive and involve high replacement costs as units
reach the end of their useful lives. The original facilities were designed and built over
forty years ago and updated in 1994. The need to replace plant components and the
desire to reduce plant operating costs prompts the City to prepare a Facility Plan to
identify the best alternatives for sludge handling, biological wastewater treatment,
alternative disinfection methods, and to review other plant needs.
In September 2006, an RFP team was approved consisting of Cindy Steinhauser,
Assistant City Manager; Ken TeKippe, Finance Director; Deron Muehring, Civil Engineer
Jenny Larson, Budget Director; John Klosterman, Street and Sewer Maintenance
Supervisor; Aaron DeJong, Economic Development Assistant Director; and Jonathan
Brown, WPCP Manager, William Jungk was added to the team after his appointment to
the Assistant WPCP Manager position.
DISCUSSION
The Request for Proposals were released to the public following approval by the council
on February 5, 2007 with a response due by February 28, 2007. Of the firms submitting
proposals five were selected for the interview process; Donohue and Associates, HDR
Engineering, MSA Professional Services, Stanley Consultants, and Strand &
Associates.
The selection process was based on the following criteria:
Qualifications and experience of the firm, reference checks,
achievements and completion of similar projects.
~•
2. Project team qualifications and experience with similar projects
of the principal consulting staff proposed to work on the project,
variety and application of various disciplines within the team, and
availability and qualifications of any subcontracting staff.
2.1 Project Manager
2.2 Lead Project Engineer(s)
2.3 Staff Engineers
2.4 Field Crew
3. Grasp of the project requirements, the firm's understanding of the
scope, preparation and level of interest.
4. Design approach/methodology in completing the scope of work and
services, technical alternatives, and creativity.
5. Responsiveness, general attitude and ability to communicate to
audiences with varying technical backgrounds.
6. Local economic impact, ability to incorporate local firms.
7. Schedule evaluation, time required to complete the project.
8. Fees.
During the review of the RFP's and the interview process it was determined by the team
that all of the selected firms had the technical capabilities to complete the facility plan.
The main emphasis of the selection process was then placed on items 3, 4, and 5 as
listed in the previous paragraph. Following the interviews the team was asked to
independently select their top candidates, the rankings are as follows for the top three.
Strand selected #1 by all eight team members
Donohue selected #2 by five members #3 by two and a tie of 2&3 by one.
HDR selected #2 by two members #3 by five and a tie of 2&3 by one.
The proposed fees for the top three firms are Strand $82,500, Donohue $71,000 and
HDR $85,000. All of the RFP's reviewed proposed fees ranging from $71,000-$85,000.
All of the top three candidates had good proposals and interviews with variations in
approach to the project. Strand was selected as the top candidate based on their
strong interview, approach to the public involvement process, and their integration of the
Facility Plan with the City of Dubuque's commitment to become a `Green Community'.
Strand's holistic green approach to the facility planning process for the WPCP will be
beneficial as the City of Dubuque strives to balance the economic realities of
wastewater treatment and the goals for becoming a green community.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the strength of their proposal, approach to the public involvement process,
and integration of City of Dubuque's commitment to becoming a green community it is
the recommendation of the RFP review team that Strand and Associates of Madison
Wisconsin be selected to work with the City of Dubuque in the development of the City's
WPCP Facility Plan. That fact that Strand was independently selected by al{ members
_ y
~~
of the review team as the top candidate reflects well on the strength of their approach to
the facility planning process for the City of Dubuque.
BUDGET IMPACT
The estimated cost for the preparation of the Facility Plan was $85,000. The Water
Pollution Control Plant Facility Plan has been approved for funding by the State of Iowa
Revolving Loan Fund for planning and design.
ACTION STEP
I respectfully request that the City Council approve the selection of Strand and
Associates to provide engineering services for the development of the City of
Dubuque's Water Pollution Control Plant Facility Plan and to authorize the City Manager
to enter into an agreement with Strand and Associates for the project.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Dubuque is seeking an engineering team with an extensive
background in facility planning for wastewater treatment systems, a breadth of
experience in various wastewater treatment techniques; including but not limited
to, sludge disposal, secondary treatment and disinfection. Along with the required
technical skills the selected team will need to have demonstrated experience in
public involvement to include but not limited to; local environmental groups,
industrial representatives, city councils and commissions.
The consulting engineer is to prepare a "Facility Plan' for the WPCP. See the
"Scope of Services" section of this Request for Proposals for more detail on the
work to be performed. In general, the successful consultant shall assess the
current facility, provide an analysis of the use of pure oxygen for secondary
treatment, and using a public involvement process help the City of Dubuque in
selecting an appropriate sludge disposal process.
Although we are interested in receiving an overall assessment of the current
WPCP condition we also understand that the sludge disposal question has the
potential to be capital intensive and as such may require the largest percentage
of effort in the development of this Facility Plan. The priorities are in the order of
1. Sludge disposal 2. Secondary treatment options 3. Disinfection options
Proposals must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. CDT on (date) at

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The City of Dubuque (City) is located in northeastern Iowa just across the
Mississippi River from Illinois and Wisconsin. The City is approximately 27
square miles in area with a service population of nearly 60,000 persons.
Providing a full range of services, the City's annual operating and capital budget
is nearly $100 million. More information about the City organization can be found
on the City's official website a www.cityofdubugue.org.
Plant Information The City of Dubuque's Water Pollution Control Plant
(WPCP) is a secondary wastewater treatment facility. The plant consists of
screening, grit removal, primary treatment, secondary treatment by the oxygen
activated sludge process, final clarification, and chlorination/dechlorination.
Sludges removed in the primary and secondary treatment processes are
dewatered using dry solids centrifuges and incinerated. The remaining ash is
dried and disposed of. (See Attachment A for Design and Current Loadings)
Following are a brief discussion of the history of plant expansions and
modifications. This information is included to provide a background of the facility
and to place the current requests for proposal in perspective.
1969 -Original Plant In 1969 the original water pollution control plant was
constructed at the current site. This facility included the bar screen building,
aerated grit tanks, primary clarifiers, primary sludge holding tanks, trickling filters,
chlorine feed equipment, vacuum filters and two sludge incinerators.
1973 -Modifications The 1973 additions included adding an odor control system
at the plant. These included covering the aerated grit tanks, the primary clarifiers,
and the trickling filters. The trickling filter covers failed and were removed.
1975 -Addition The 1975 addition to the treatment plant included additional
secondary treatment systems, secondary sludge handling, and modifications to
the incinerator. The additiona{ secondary treatment included an intermediate
pumping station, waste activated pumps (WAS), oxygen activated sludge tanks,
cryogenic facilities to produce oxygen, final clarifiers, final pumping station with
return activated sludge (RAS) pumps, base {oad pumps, and a chlorine mixing
chamber. Secondary sludge handling systems included WAS thickening
centrifuges and a low pressure oxidation system (ZIMPRO), new stack gas
cyclones and a waste heat boiler were added to the incineration system.
1983 -Belt Press Addition - In 1983 a 2-meter belt press was added to dewater
the blended primary and secondary sludges prior to incineration.
4
r
1993- Plant Modification -The 1993 plant modification was a major upgrade to
the preliminary treatment and sludge handling facilities at the plant. Modifications
to the preliminary treatment system included replacement of the bar screens
along with screenings conveyance equipment, replacement of the aerated grit
system with new grit removal, grit pumping and concentrator equipment. The
existing chlorine feed equipment was replaced. The heat treatment system and
vacuum filters were removed and replaced with dewatering centrifuges. In
addition to new sludge conveyors, piping and a sludge feed pump. Half of the
aerated grit removal system was modified to a WAS storage tank. New WAS
transfer pump and scum transfer pumps were added and a scum collection tank.
A new dry polymer mixing and feed system and room were provided. The
incinerators were modified with new venturi scrubber, ash pumps and a
recuperator for the north unit. A new ash pad was also added.
Polymer System - A polymer feed system for handling Mannich polymer to the
dewatering centrifuges was also added by plant staff.
1994 -Improvements -The 1994 improvements included a new dechlorination
system and chlorine contact chamber, modifications to the final clarifiers and
modification to the oxygen supply system. The oxygen supply modifications
included removal of the cryogenics system and the addition of new storage tank
and feed components as part of a supply contact for oxygen.
1996 -Improvements -The 1996 improvements included modifications to the
final pump station, hydraulic improvements, and a SCADA system. The
modifications included replacement of RAS pumps, removal of base load pumps,
installation of two new non-potable-water pumps and modifications to the
