The Tualatin Valley Water District on Nov. 19 will host an outreach event for vendors, subcontractors and suppliers interested in possibly working on the Willamette Water Supply System Raw Water Facilities project.

The existing raw water pump station and intake infrastructure at the Willamette River Water Treatment Plant in Wilsonville will be modified. Work is part of a larger plan to expand the treatment plant in order to supply water to much of the west side of the Portland-metro area.

The event is set for 10 a.m. at Tualatin Valley Water District offices at 1850 S.W. 170th Ave. in Beaverton.

Design consultant Black & Veatch is expected to finish project design in early 2020.

Kiewit Infrastructure West Co., the construction manager/general contractor for the project, is working with Black & Veatch to finalize a procurement plan for a guaranteed maximum price. This will include various work packages containing opportunities for qualified businesses to bid competitively. Kiewit intends to begin advertising upcoming bid opportunities in early 2020 in line with design completion.

Currently, the project team is reaching out to vendors, subcontractors and suppliers about timing and scope for the upcoming Raw Water Facilities project.
