Keene (T) Well Source Development WD#2 Engineering Services RFQ

The Town of Keene seeks qualifications for New York State licensed professional engineering firms or licensed engineering teams to prepare design services through Construction regarding the Water District No. 2 Drinking Water project.

The Town of Keene operates two water districts that serve the Town of Keene and Keene Valley. In 2010, the town replaced the distribution system and part of the well control building. In 2019, the Town proceeded with an emergency project to replace a failed well with a new well. In 2020, the leaks in the Town’s storage tank were repaired.

The Town’s remaining 1998 well is now nearing failure (currently serving as a redundant source) and requires service. It is currently out of service.

A preliminary engineering report was completed in 2022 by AES Northeast recommendations replacement of the control building, along with the replacement of the mechanically redundant well and water meters.as well as alternatives for the necessary upgrades for Water District 2.

The well-controlled building needs necessary repairs and replacements.

With the financial constraints of the special district the Town would like to address the critical area of concern, which is the Well itself, as well as necessary upgrades to the control building. All other alternatives will be addressed in a phased approach as funding is obtained.

The project referenced in this RFQ is anticipated to be funded with New York State and/or Federal loan and grant funds. All project bidding, construction administration, and inspection/closeout activities associated with the project must be performed with NYSEFC requirements and regulations.
