CLARIFICATION #1
RFP #2021-23: General Engineering Services for CCMUA’s Combined Sewer Overflow Requirements
The attention of all bidders is to be directed to the following Clarification to the Proposal documents
for the above referenced RFP.
Refer to Page 1, Section 2.0 Background Information,
Whereas, 1st Paragraph originally stated:
In or around July of 2015 the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued a permit to the CCMUA which required the creation and submission of a plan to control combined sewage overflows. The plan, known as the Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) is due to the NJDEP on October 1, 2020. The CCMUA desires to procure an experienced, qualified, consulting engineer, knowledgeable about LTCPs and specifically the CCMUA LTCP.
To clarify the aforementioned further, the CCMUA met the October 1, 2020 deadline. The CCMUA and NJDEP are currently working together to address technical questions that have arisen from the October 2020 submission.
