Overview

Summary

The Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) is requesting proposals from qualified engineering firms to provide complete design services for the installation of a grit removal system at the ACUA’s City Island Wastewater Treatment Plant located at 1801 Absecon Boulevard, Atlantic City, NJ 80401. Lack of grit removal efficiency has resulted in excessive grit carryover to the primary settling tanks. Grit in the primary sludge results in excessive equipment wear and consumes capacity in the solids handling system. This project shall include the design of a complete grit removal system and other modifications as may be necessary to integrate with the existing wastewater treatment plant system at the ACUA.

Background

The Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) owns and operates a Solid Waste complex in Egg Harbor Township, Atlantic County, NJ, known as the Howard F. Haneman Environmental Park, and a Wastewater Treatment Facility in Atlantic City, Atlantic County, NJ, known as City Island Treatment Plant.

The Solid Waste facility is home to an active landfill, a recycling center, composting site, and ancillary facilities. The site is home to a renewable natural gas (RNG) landfill methane project. The ACUA’s solid waste complex is located at 6700 Delilah Road, in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. The site consists of approximately 360 acres with approximately 102 acres representing the landfill footprint.

The Wastewater Treatment Facility has been in operation since 1978 and services 14 communities in Atlantic County. It is home to the Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm, a 7.5 MW wind farm that is privately owned and from which the ACUA purchases approximately 12 million kWh per year of electricity. In addition, the facility also houses a 500 kW solar PV system.

The ACUA is responsible to the residents of Atlantic County to be financially prudent and environmentally responsible.
