II. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF WORK
1. Project Overview and Scope
Loudoun Water is a public body politic and corporate and an instrumentality of
the Commonwealth of Virginia, organized under the Virginia Water and Waste
Authorities Act, being Chapter 28, Title 15.1, Code of Virginia of 1950, as
amended (the "Act"). Loudoun Water was created by action of the Board of
Supervisors of Loudoun County, Virginia and was chartered by the State
Corporation Commission on May 27, 1959. As an authority, Loudoun Water
makes no profit and operations and finances are independent of the County’s
tax-supported services.
In 2008, the Loudoun Water Board of Directors moved to protect the health, the
environment, and the quality of life in Loudoun County by addressing the critical
need for additional water supply. This critical need will be met by the Potomac
Water Supply Program (herein referred to as the PWSP or the Program) which
will create a new water supply system to supply potable water to Loudoun
Water’s Central Service Area. The facilities to be constructed under the Program
will enable Loudoun Water to withdraw raw water from the Potomac River,
convey it to a new water treatment plant (WTP) for processing either directly, or
after storage in retired rock quarries, and then convey the finished water to the
Central Service Area. These facilities are divided into six major Program Elements
and constructed in phases:
Program Element No. 1 - Raw Water Intake (RWI)
Program Element No. 2 – Potomac Raw Water Pumping Station (PRWPS)
Program Element No. 3 - Raw Water Transmission (RWT)
Program Element No. 4 – Required Quarry Development (QRWPS)
Program Element No. 5 - Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
Program Element No. 6 - Finished Water Transmission (FWT)
The term “Project” discussed herein refers to Program Elements No.1 and 2 only.
Request For Qualifications and solicitations for other Program Elements will be
issued separately.
a. The work to be performed under this Project consists of the construction and
commissioning of a 40 million gallon per day (MGD) net capacity submerged
raw water intake (RWI) and raw water pumping station (PRWPS) with all
supporting facilities including a raw water transmission (RWT) system within
the property boundaries:
