West Yost is working with SRWA to develop and implement a
treated surface water supply to serve the cities of Turlock and
Ceres, California. The declining quality and availability of
groundwater supplies serving the customers of both Ceres and
Turlock makes this regional project critical to ensure future
water supply in this region. West Yost helped to develop a road
map to construct the raw water facilities, treatment plant,
finished water transmission mains, and the local distribution
facilities necessary to connect with each City’s local
system.
The City’s existing WWTP relies on a combination of conventional
and natural processes to provide treatment. In order to comply
with new, more stringent wastewater discharge requirements, the
City must have new secondary and tertiary treatment facilities
on-line by September 2017. The City decided to implement these
improvements using the Design-Build (DB) procurement process, and
subsequently selected West Yost to serve as the Owner’s
Representative for this project.
West Yost is exploring the feasibility of entering into a 30-
year concession agreements or long-term operation agreements for
the City’s domestic water, recycled water, and wastewater
collection systems. The City wanted to investigate alternatives
for procurement of water and wastewater capital delivery and
operations services. Services included preparing the RFP,
technical appendices, and assistance in preparing the draft and
final contract documents.
