2021-12-10 A - RFP - Water Reservoir Structural Review

The Town of Drumheller invites Proposals for qualified engineering firms to perform the Drumheller Reservoirs Structural Review. The Town of Drumheller provides potable water to a large portion of the Drumheller Valley via five (5) above ground water reservoirs, one (1) of which is a tower, the other four (4) are concrete structures. The reservoirs, with the exception of the Central Tower, are located on the valley hillside on the southside of the Red Deer River. The Central Tower is located in downtown Drumheller.

The objectives of this project are to:

 determine the structural soundness of each structure;

 determine the life expectancy of each structure;

 identify the deficiencies of each structure;

 provide recommendations for any needed repairs for each structure;

 provide cost estimates for any needed repairs for each structure;

 provide recommendations that would improve efficiency, operations and lifespan of all structures;

 provide a review of the access to each location, and;

 provide recommendations with respect to security and protection of the water supply at these locations.

All work will be performed while the reservoirs remain in use.

Video footage of the inside of the four (4) concrete reservoirs is available for the successful proponent to review; this footage was taken between 2015 and 2020. There is no video footage for the inside of the Central Water Tower.

Note: All Proposals must include evidence of other similar work performed.
