City of Bainbridge Island - Winslow Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity Upgrades The City of Bainbridge Island (City) is soliciting qualifications from consultant firms with experience in the evaluation, design and operations related to the upgrade of the Winslow Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The plant is meeting all discharge limits during normal operations; however, recent high waste stream loads have led to the plant exceeding the facility’s design criteria outlined in the City’s Department of Ecology (DOE) discharge permit. These exceedances require that the City engage with DOE in the short term on a plan for increasing the rating capacity of plant, as well as begin planning and implementation of recommended operational or physical changes to the plant that will increase capacity. The City has performed some preliminary evaluation work on the potential options and next steps, and envisions this work proceeding in three distinct phases: Working with the City and DOE to develop and implement a plan for increasing the rating capacity of plant in the near (1-2 years) and long (4-10 years) term; Design engineering and implementation of short-term plant improvements to existing plant processes to increase capacity. These improvements could include adding diffusers to the plant’s second anoxic/anaerobic zones; and, Engaging with DOE on the preliminary evaluation of a plan for meeting the Puget Sound Nutrient General Permit. This work could include the development of monitoring requirements and the creation of a Nitrogen Optimization Plan.
