AETC CONS/LGCT , AFCESA Support Flight, 136 Barnes Avenue, Building 856 Annex, Tyndall AFB, FL 32403 is soliciting competitive offers for Air Force Utilties Privatization - Hill AFB, UT Watewater Distribution System. Anticipated release of RFP for this effort is on/around 14 Mar 2008.
Privatization is defined as the conveyance of a utility system to a municipal, private, regional, district, or cooperative utility company or other entity. The conveyance may consist of all right, title, and interest of the United States in the utility system. Utility Privatization (UP) will be accomplished in accordance with 10 U.S.C. ?2688 ? Utility Systems: Conveyance Authority. Contract term is anticipated at 50 years.
The following is a description of the system to be privatized:
Main Base
The Main Base area wastewater system consists of collection lines and lift stations primarily located west of the runway. The wastewater system east of the runway consists of relatively small collection systems mostly from individual buildings. Some of the buildings have been connected to the main system via a line across the south end of the runway. However, the majority of facilities are connected to septic tanks and drain fields or holding tanks that require periodic pumping. A tank truck is used to transfer wastewater from the holding tanks to a manhole on the Base collection system. With the exception of the sewage that flows to the septic tanks, all other sanitary sewage generated on Hill AFB is transported to the North Davis Sewer District (NDSD) for treatment.
Metering Stations
Wastewater flows from Hill AFB are discharged into the NDSD/Clearfield City wastewater systems along the south and west boundaries of the Base. Prior to leaving the wastewater system, those flows are metered at four Base-owned meter stations and three meter stations owned by the MFH Contractor. Air Force-owned discharge and instrumented meter points included in this solicitation are located as follows:
1. Discharge Point 1 (Southgate Meter) ? at the intersection of Southgate Avenue and Highway 193. This flow is metered near Manhole 5-27 and is generated by the southeast portion of the Main Base. Flows through this discharge point include the wastewater treated by the industrial wastewater treatment plant (IWTP) and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA)-contaminated groundwater extracted under the Federal Facilities Act Operable Unit (OU) 8 remediation project. (Discharges into NDSD system.)
2. Discharge Point 2 (Hospital Meter) ? approximately 1,900 feet west of Southgate Avenue and on the north side of Highway 193. The system drawings show two meters on this line; one near the Base boundary and the other several hundred feet upstream. As additional facilities were being planned between the upstream meter and the Base boundary, the downstream meter was installed to capture the flows from these new facilities and the upstream meter was abandoned in place. The out-of-service meter located near Manhole 4-19 has been abandoned for several years. The active meter is located near Manhole 5-11. The southern portion of the Main Base generates this flow. (Discharges into NDSD system.)
3. Discharge Point 3 (Truck Gate Meter) ? located near the truck gate for the Base. The meter is located between Manholes 8-23 and 8-24. (Discharges into Clearfield City system.)
4. Discharge Point 4 (Railroad Meter) ? located in the Army Rail Shop area along the west boundary of Hill AFB, northwest of the intersection of Aspen Avenue and Maine Street, in the 1700 Area. The northern portion of the Main Base, the 1200 Industrial Area, and the facilities along Alabama Drive generate this flow. It is metered near Manhole 11-50. (Discharges into NDSD system.)
Sanitary Lift Stations
There are 21 sanitary wastewater lift stations with associated force mains located throughout the Main Base area. None of the lift stations have installed emergency generators. All are equipped with high-water alarms (local flashing red lights; no remote annunciation).
Wastewater Collection System
The Hill AFB wastewater collection system consists of approximately 300,000 feet of wastewater collection lines, varying in size between 6 to 15 inches, and approximately 850 manholes. The wastewater collection system dates back to the 1940s. In the older areas of the Base, the wastewater lines are vitrified clay pipes and the manholes are constructed of brick. Since the 1990s, as lines were replaced and new lines added, the replacement piping has been PVC and the new manholes have been constructed of pre-cast concrete. Depth of burial for wastewater collections mains ranges from 6 to 30 feet. Average depth of building service laterals is approximately 6 feet.
Two areas of the Main Base wastewater collection system have been surveyed with closed-circuit television (CCTV) as part of four separate surveys. The surveys were completed in 2005, 2004, 1997, and 1996. Approximately 71,000 feet along Wardleigh Road was surveyed in 2005, and approximately 26,000 feet in the 1200 Area was surveyed in 2004. Additionally, CCTV surveys were performed in October 1997 and December 1996. The October 1997 survey covered all the wastewater collection system piping in MHF Areas D, E, and F. The December 1996 survey generally covered the Main Base between the runway and Avenue E and the northern portion of Main Base between the ammunition storage area and New Hampshire Drive.
The 2005 survey identified cracked and broken pipe, crushed pipe, off-set joints, debris in the lines, tree root intrusion, and manholes buried beneath the surface. The debris was removed during the survey; however, other deficiencies were not corrected. The survey identified nine areas of deterioration that were severe enough to merit immediate corrective action and an additional 15 areas of concern that were not as severe but could become so if not corrected.
The 2004 survey identified cracked and broken pipe, crushed pipe, off-set joints, debris in the lines, tree root intrusion, and manholes buried beneath the surface. The debris was removed during the survey; however, other deficiencies were not corrected. The survey identified 13 areas of deterioration that were severe enough to merit immediate corrective action and an additional 29 areas of concern that were not as severe but could become so if not corrected.
The October 1997 survey identified wastewater lines with tree roots large enough to interfere with video camera operation; the roots were removed during the survey. The report presented five areas of immediate concern; however, no corrective actions were performed. Four of the areas were related to manhole problems. Another identified area of concern related to the service laterals from several residences to their connection to the main. The report identified 16 other areas where there were problems but that did not present an immediate concern. There were nine areas identified where sections of pipe had sagged enough to reduce the effectiveness of the wastewater collection system.
The 1996 survey identified 12 areas of deterioration that were severe enough to merit immediate corrective action; however, no corrective actions were performed in these areas. Generally, the problems were related to cracked or broken pipes. The report identified about 45 other areas of concern that were not as severe but could become so if not corrected. These problem areas were mostly the result of tree-root intrusions. The report further identified six areas where there were low spots or sags in the pipe. The manholes inspected for this report were considered to be in good condition.
Base technicians advise that Hill AFB does not experience significant infiltration and inflow (I/I) problems, nor are there recurring problems with overflows.
UTTR
The wastewater system at UTTR consists of two sewer lift stations, which are approximately 15 and 38 years old, that move flows to wastewater lagoons for treatment. Both stations were upgraded and lined in 1997 and 1998, respectively. The piping systems that feeds and leaves the lift stations are approximately the same age as the lift stations. Twelve manholes are shown on the utility map. (Lagoons are an integral part of the system and are included in the Utilities Privatization solicitation.) The sewer lagoons were upgraded and enlarged as well as being modified to act as a mini-wetlands area. The project was completed in Spring 2000. Other remote sites with septic tanks and drain fields are excluded from the privatization study.
A wastewater system map of the UTTR area was provided (scale of 1?=1,200?). Measurements of the wastewater lines taken from the map were used to develop the inventory. Manholes were identified on drawings prepared as part of a Wastewater Facilities Evaluation Study completed in 1994 for UTTR.
Little Mountain Test Annex
The wastewater system at Little Mountain consists of a gravity collection system where flows move to a septic tank and drain field for treatment. (The septic tank and drain field are not included in the Utilities Privatization solicitation; the point of demarcation is the septic tank inlet.) The original system was installed in 1960, and contains approximately 3,000 feet of wastewater lines. The collection mains are primarily 6- and 8-inch PVC pipe, while service laterals are older cast-iron pipe. The original septic tank, installed in 1960, has been abandoned; the new tank and drain field was installed in 1987 at a different location. The new system is very large and includes a 27,000?gallon tank, sized for approximately 300 people. With a daylight population of only 80 people and only three persons remaining on site round-the-clock, the system has more than enough capacity for any foreseeable growth. Long-range plans for Little Mountain call for replacing the septic tank and drain field with a package treatment plant.
A Little Mountain wastewater system map was provided (scale of 1?=1,200?). Measurements of the wastewater lines taken from the map were used to develop the inventory.
