Notice of Future Progressive Design-Build Project
Little Miami Wastewater Treatment Plant and Four Mile and Little Miami Pump Stations
(Cincinnati, OH)
Owner: Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati
This fall, the City of Cincinnati will solicit the services of a progressive design-build team to construct a 115 mgd high rate treatment facility at the Little Miami Wastewater Treatment Plant and upgrade the Four Mile and Little Miami pump stations to reliably pump 215 mgd. Additional scope may include screening, disinfection, construction of a new outfall, and demolition of existing facilities. The total project cost, including owner advisor services, is anticipated to be approximately $327 million.
The City hired Brown and Caldwell (BC) as the owner advisor to support development of this procurement. Through BC, the City will seek market input prior to initiating a formal procurement for this project. This market sounding will be an informal conference call and an opportunity to provide input around the project, design-build approach, and collaborative best practices that the City has in mind for the procurement.
If you are interested in hearing more about this project, intend to participate as a prime contractor or engineer of record, and would like to participate in the market sounding, please contact Sabrina Hutchinson at shutchinson@brwncald.com. If this project is not on your list, you may still want to participate in the market sounding to support or promote your vision of progressive design-build best practices to inform future MSD procurements and projects.
