Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, 354 CONS PK, is conducting a Sources Sought for Architect-Engineer (A-E) services to design the replacement of the upper digester compressors 1 & 2 at Eielson Air Force Base, AK. This project addresses inoperable compressors impacting the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Responses are due by January 29, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project encompasses the design of replacement for upper digester compressors 1 & 2, including new blower assemblies. Key tasks involve assessing existing compressors, piping, and related appurtenances; collecting and reviewing project data; evaluating alternatives; and developing design concepts and cost estimates. The A-E contractor will attend and participate in review meetings (65%, 95%, and 100% design reviews) and incorporate revisions. The design must address challenges presented by the Arctic environment and include provisions for the abatement and disposal of hazardous materials, adhering to industry standards such as NFPA, UFC, AFMAN, UFGS, AFM 88-3 C2, EM 385-1-1, OSHA, and ADA.
