Wittkopf, 719-5673456. E-MAIL: Contracting Specialist, traceyrs@schriever.af.mil. (i) Schriever Air Force Base (SAFB), formerly Falcon AFB, located 11 miles east of Colorado Springs, Colorado, is planning to bypass its onsite sanitary wastewater treatment plant and pipe its wastewater to an offsite treatment plant. With this advertisement, a Request for Information (RFI) is being solicited from utilities, contractors, developers or other interested parties (hereinafter called the utility) to provide service to SAFB for piping away from the base and treatment of the sanitary wastewater from the base. All maintenance, operational and future associated development costs would be borne by the utility. Work involved would be the design and installation of a pipeline to a regional wastewater treatment system operated and managed by the private utility and independent from the Air Force. The piping system and treatment facilities would be designed for a minimum 20-year operating life. To meet current and projected needs, the system would need to be designed for an initial flow of 200,000 gpd to 400,000 gpd for the 20-year operating life. Some modifications of the existing lagoons and collection system would be required on the base property to provide storage capabilities in the event of an emergency and to provide a pipeline from the existing wastewater treatment plant on Schriever AFB to the off-base point of connection . This would allow the wastewater to be delivered to the boundary fence, where it would then be the responsibility of the selected utility to transport, treat and dispose of the wastewater and provide maintenance of the pipeline system. It is the desire of the Air Force to implement a regional concept of wastewater treatment and at the same time comply with and enhance environmental concepts to mutually benefit the area in eastern El Paso County. With this advertisement, SAFB is requesting information from utilities that would be interested in providing the service of removing the sanitary wastewater from the base to a remote location and treating it in compliance with state and federal regulations. It is stipulated that the sanitary wastewater be piped away from the base.
