The Local AWPS project consist in two Phases. This IFB is for Phase that will produce 1.125
MGD of RO permeate and will include housekeeping pads for future skids and pipe headers sized enough to
accommodate expansion. Phase I Motor Control Centers will also accommodate for Phase II electrical loads. The
permeate produced from the project will be blended with the existing tertiary-treated recycled water to achieve an
instantaneous TDS concentration of 400 to 500 mg/L. The Local AWPS will be constructed without interruption to
the current treatment operations, except as allowed under special circumstances, such as piping and utility tie-ins.
The electrical service, potable water service and fire water supply will be independent from the RWQCP service. New
service connections will be made with City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU).
The Project will consist on construction of a new odor control structure, membrane filtration, reverse osmosis
system, construction of a new permeate storage tank, blending station, new chemical storage facilities, electrical,
instrumentation and control systems. Site work includes pile foundation, concrete slab, yard piping, replacement of
a sewer line, paving, grading, landscaping, construction of a metal canopy, a pre-engineered electrical building and
a perimeter wall.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Requirements participation is encouraged.

It is anticipated that Work on the Project will be required to commence on or about May 2025 – December 2027
