Professional Services for Industrial Pretreatment Program Development

The City of Perrysburg (hereinafter referred to as “CITY”) is seeking Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) from qualified firms to provide professional services for the development and implementation of a comprehensive Industrial Pretreatment Program. The work is intended to support the CITY’s efforts to protect the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), sanitary sewer collection system, receiving waters, biosolids management practices, and City personnel by establishing technically defensible local limits, updating the City’s Sewer Use Ordinance, and preparing the documentation necessary for Ohio EPA review and approval of the pretreatment program. The selected firm will be expected to review the City’s current applicable ordinances, current and previous NPDES permits, available historical WWTP data, receiving water criteria, total maximum daily load requirements, current and future WWTP improvement projects, and operational information to identify pollutants of concern and develop a detailed sampling plan for the local limits evaluation. Following completion of sampling and analytical review, the firm shall calculate maximum allowable headworks loadings and maximum allowable industrial loadings, compare results to the City’s existing local limits, and prepare draft and final Local Limits Evaluation reports with recommended limits. As noted, the project will include a detailed review of the City’s Sewer Use Ordinance. The selected firm shall provide an update of the City’s Sewer Use Ordinance, including preparation of two ordinance versions to address near-term program needs and subsequent updates following completion of the local limits evaluation, along with completion of the Ohio EPA legal authority checklist. In addition, the selected firm shall develop the City’s Industrial Pretreatment Program, including procedures for permitting and control of significant and categorical industrial users, compliance monitoring through sampling and inspections, enforcement response, public participation, staffing, training, resources, implementation scheduling, and preparation of a complete Ohio EPA submittal package that includes the required program description, industrial user inventory, monitoring and enforcement procedures, implementation materials, and applicable Ohio EPA program checklists.
