Consultant Services - Sewer Heat Recovery Facility and Integration with District Energy

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST AND STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATIONS

The City is expanding its District Energy System (DES) in the rapidly growing City Centre area. The DES currently provides heat to over 6 million square feet of building area in the City Centre, and the connected floor area is anticipated to double in the next three years. To reduce the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) intensity of the DES, the City plans to incorporate a Sewer Heat Recovery (SHR) facility into the DES, to be operational in 2026. This project involves the detailed design and construction administration of the overall project which is forecasted to cost approximately $68 million. The City anticipates hiring one, or more, Construction Manager (CM) during schematic design early fall of 2023 to provide preconstruction service including design-assist services, constructability reviews, costing, value engineering, scheduling and to develop and coordinate the procurement of construction contracts in consultation with the City and consultants team. The project is broken down into the following major components:

1. Boiler upgrades at the existing West Village Energy Center (WVEC) to meet capacity demands for the winter of 2024.
2. Heat pump facility expansion at the WVEC that upgrades the heat for integration into the District Energy System (DES).
3. Sewage diversion and lift station that conveys sewage from the North Surrey Interceptor (NSI) sewer to the adjacent Sewer Heat Recovery (SHR) facility.
4. SHR facility that screens sewage, transfers heat from the sewage to the ambient temperature (AT) piping via heat exchangers, then circulates water to the West Village Energy Center (WVEC).
5. AT piping that conveys recovered heat from the SHR facility to the WVEC.
