Summary & Background: JCEC is located at 8100 Holcomb Bridge Rd in Roswell and operates under NPDES Permit GA0038831. The plant treats wastewater from residential, commercial, and industrial users in North Fulton County, primarily east of GA 400. The County’s intention is to proactively upgrade and replace the membrane system, which is original to the 2009 plant construction.
Since its startup in 2009, the plant has been permitted to discharge a combined total of 15 MGD monthly average flow to the Chattahoochee River and the Johns Creek reuse system. Additionally, the County holds 5 MGD of treatment capacity through the former, and now closed, Cauley Creek permit. The Department of Public Works (DPW) desires to add the 5 MGD capacity to JCEC’s existing 15 MGD capacity to increase JCEC’s total capacity to 20 MGD average monthly flow.
Scope of Work: This project will require all the management, engineering, design, procurement, construction, and start-up services necessary to complete the Project while also maintaining complete effluent compliance. The following is a general list of services required through each phase of this project:
• Management and coordination of all preconstruction and construction work.
• Design of the replacement membrane system including other upgrades necessary to allow the plant to treat 20 MGD of wastewater flow.
• Obtaining all necessary permits from all required authorities. For all regulatory approvals, the selected company will produce any required study or document and complete all necessary steps for approval, including responding to review comments.
• Close coordination with the County, including preparing for and participating in meetings, design coordination, and resolving issues.
• Implementation of preconstruction and construction Quality Assurance and Quality Control Programs which will include but are not limited to validation of design criteria, ensuring the adequacy of drawings and specifications, and coordinating across design disciplines and trades.
• Completing project schedule and progress reports, which will include but are not limited to project narratives and summaries, budgeting values and actual costs, scheduling updates, etc.
• Lead and coordinate public outreach, as necessary.
Community Impact: The replacement of the membrane system and preparation for the expansion of the JCEC wastewater plant is necessary to serve anticipated growth in this portion of North Fulton County.
Department Recommendation: Public Works recommends that Ruby-Collins/Brown and Caldwell JV be awarded the Progressive Design Build JCEC Campus Expansion and Membrane System Upgrade Project.
Project Implications: Without the JCEC Campus Expansion and Membrane System Upgrade Project anticipated growth in the North Fulton area may be restricted.
Community Issues/Concerns: No community Issues or Concerns are known to Public Works.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Department of Public Works has no issues or concerns with this project.
