RFQ - Pre-Treatment Program Professional Engineering

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

CITY OF NILES PRETREATMENT PROGRAM PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING

INTRODUCTION

The City of Niles, Ohio  is seeking Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) from engineering consultants qualified to provide professional services  to provide technical support for the City’s pretreatment program, a required compliance element of our discharge permit.

The City  intends to select a single engineering consultant  to perform technical services over a period not to exceed three‐years as program support needs or pretreatment projects arise and funding is available.

Assistance with overall pretreatment program compliance with 40 CFR Part 403 – General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution (the “General Pretreatment Requirements”).

Development and implementation of pretreatment operating procedures compliant with the minimum General Pretreatment Regulations at 40 CFR Part 403.8, including the development of written standard operating procedures and templates.

ANTICIPATED SCOPE OF SERVICES

The organization and completion of the work should not be looked at as a data dump but an ongoing partnership with the City of Niles to assist in creating a viable and ongoing pretreatment program that will be approved by the Ohio EPA.

The city has an existing pretreatment program but is lacking updated information from both industries and the new updated plant’s performance ability, as it would relate to setting updated pretreatment limits.

Work includes coordination with the Ohio EPA and the City of Niles. The city has budget limitations that the project must adhere to.

The work will include but not be limited to the following:

Industrial User Survey

Industrial User Inspections

Data Evaluation and Initial Determination of Local Limits

Organize and Oversee in plant sampling, testing and data organization.

Sewer Use Ordinance Revisions

Evaluation of Local Limit Allocation Methods
Industrial User Permits

Sealed proposals will be received by the City of Niles Auditor’s Office in the City Hall, 34 West State Street, Niles Ohio, until 11:30 a.m. on March 14, 2025, for the following project. Envelopes should be clearly marked “ Request for Qualifications for Engineering Consultants Services to provide Technical Support for the City’s Pretreatment Program.” Consultants...
