San Antonio Water System

The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) is pursuing professional consulting services and accepting statements of qualifications (SOQs) from qualified consultants or consulting firms to evaluate options, perform pilot work, design, and provide construction phase services for a series of water quality treatment initiatives in and around Mitchell Lake as described in this document. 

The objective of this project is to evaluate and implement one or more natural processes to treat water leaving Mitchell Lake to the water quality limits defined in the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit for the Mitchell Lake treatment facility.  Bacteria (E. coli) will be excluded for treatment reduction. 

This project will be conducted in two major phases.  SAWS, at its sole discretion, will determine if the project advances between the first and second phases as outlined, or if additional phases of work are warranted to be included in this project.  Further, the role of the respondent in the second phase of the work will be to provide professional services related to the project as SAWS determines what will be in the best interest of SAWS, which may include professional services as a design engineer in assisting with design of bid documents for the second phase of work, or as an owner’s representative or other role in connection with an alternative project delivery of the second phase of the project.
