Project/Construction information: The major project elements for the Clean Water Center include the design and construction of a two-story building to house multiple functions, including administration office functions; laboratory, operations, and staff support; maintenance and instrumentation shops; electrical room, maintenance office, warehouse and storage areas; and meeting rooms for public outreach. The project also consists of civil and sitework improvements, including completion of the new perimeter wall, landscaping, paving and striping, staff and visitor parking, and lighting in the parking area and along Carl Road. The Clean Water Center will meet U.S. Green Building Council LEED Gold rating requirements.

Demolition of the existing Administration Building and construction of additional temporary office trailers for plant staff are also included in this project scope.

The project additionally includes improvements to the Recycle Yard and Carol Road. The Recycle Yard is located on the south side of Carl Road and adjacent to Recycle Hill, one of the City’s closed landfills. The major elements for these improvements include:

• Recycle Yard Improvements – Adding a new paved employee and visitor parking lot with an ADA accessible route to the WPCP, Clean Water Center and EV parking stalls. Residual municipal waste materials are present beneath the Recycle Yard (placed during landfilling operations at Recycle Hill). Because of the presence of the residual waste materials, paving of Recycle Yard must comply with the requirements to be defined by the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board), who share regulatory oversight responsibility for Recycle Hill.

• Carl Road Improvements – Installing security fencing and an electronic security gate at the entrance to the WPCP facility, as well as installing lighting at the Recycle Yard and along Carl Road.

While the future western portion of the Perimeter Wall is shown on the Clean Water Center drawings, the Perimeter Wall is covered in its own design package that will be bid along with the Clean Water Center.
