BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The AE2S/City design team continues to proceed with preliminary design of the West Wastewater
Treatment Facility (WWTF) Phase 1 Improvements (expansion). Consistent with the 2018 Wastewater
Master Plan, this expansion will include a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system.
There are many equipment suppliers of MBR equipment, and each system has unique aspects to the
configuration and layout. The design team has identified a short list of MBR equipment vendors/suppliers
that are appropriate for the project, and equipment pre -procurement is recommended, which is consistent
with the planned design approach.
The procurement format will be consistent with the Minnesota "Best Value" contracting methods, and bids
will be evaluated based upon defined scoring criteria prior to a recommendation for award being
submitted to the Council. City Attorney review of the contract will occur concurrent with the
advertisement period.
