The Capital Regional District (CRD) has announced a shortlist for the Macaulay Point Pump Station and Forcemain.
The Wastewater Treatment Project has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to three qualified proponents as part of the selection process for the contract to design and build the pump station and forcemain.
Five submissions were received in response to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), which closed on July 05, 2017. The following three teams have been selected to move forward to the RFP stage:
- • AECOM Canada Ltd/Graham Infrastructure LP Joint Venture
- • Aecon Water Infrastructure Inc.; and
- • Kenaidan Contracting Ltd.
Proponents are scheduled to submit their proposals in the late fall and the Wastewater Treatment Project Team expects to award a contract in early 2018. Construction on the Macaulay Point Pump Station and Forcemain will start in 2018 and is anticipated to be complete by spring 2020.
As part of the overall conveyance system, the new Macaulay Point Pump Station will pump wastewater it receives from Colwood, Langford, View Royal, Esquimalt, Saanich, and Victoria to the McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant for tertiary treatment, and the forcemain will connect the Macaulay Point Pump Station to the McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The new pump station will be constructed adjacent to the existing pump station at Macaulay Point. The existing pump station will continue to provide bypass pumping to the Macaulay Point outfall during storm events. Upgrades will be made to the existing pump station, including to the site, and the design of the new pump station will consider its location on the waterfront.
