COBI Wastewater Beneficial Re-Use Analysis The City of Bainbridge Island (City) is soliciting qualifications from consultant firms with experience in the beneficial re-use of wastewater. The City recently set aside American Rescue Plan Act funding for an initial review of this concept, and is seeking a consultant that could lead an effort to identify beneficial wastewater re-use opportunities and constraints, including engagement and input from the community. The City envisions that the deliverable from this opportunities and constraints phase of work will inform the development of next steps, such as a feasibility study, preliminary cost estimates, and eventually a concept design or programmatic planning effort. Re-use concepts are envisioned to include, but are not limited to, efforts that would support irrigation, stream flow restoration, groundwater re-charge, or tertiary treatment for return to Puget Sound. The City is open to a wide range of outside-the-box thinking on the project, including the re-use of wastewater from the City’s primary wastewater treatment plan, a partnership with plant facilities not owned and operated by the City, and/or satellite facilities that interact with concentrations of neighborhood septic systems.
