AWWA ACE61690

In 2002, the City of Winnipeg committed to proceeding with the design and installation of an ultraviolet(UV) disinfection system as part, but in advance, of the design of a new water treatment plant.The selected location for the new UV system is the existing Deacon Booster PumpingStation. The new UV equipment, therefore, had to be designed to fit the existing space, thusmaking advance knowledge of the selected equipment more important for efficient design.Rather than the traditional approach of procuring the reactor equipment as part of the overallfacility, the City opted for a preselection and procurement approach for a number ofreasons. The preselection approach offered the following advantages:a competitive process that did not limit reactor selection to one supplier or model ofequipment;a separable process guarantee;a full life cycle total cost analysis;flexibility to select the most appropriate equipment for the application;a streamlined and more efficient facility design process using final equipment sizing anddesign information to optimize layouts within the available space; and,a reduced overall procurement cycle time.Authorization to begin design was received in January 2003, the UV equipment procurementwas completed by July 2003, and construction of the overall facility was completed inDecember 2004.
